Admitted into SIM-UOL part-time BSc A & F in Sep 17 after ORDing in Aug 17, had 1.5 mods exemption from Poly Diploma and another 1.5 mods exemption after passing the bridging course back in Jul 17.

Took 4 mods in year one and 5 mods in year two while working full-time as a finance officer with 2~2.4k pay. Got my results last month, graduating with 2nd lower. Got promoted with 2.8~3.2k pay as a finance exec.

sounds like a good trajectory.

tbh, i see there is no difference between sim grads and nus/ntu/smu grads in terms of starting pay or trajectory.

poly diploma or a levels results arent that important

You see no difference in starting pay? Are you stupid? Have you even gone through the GES documents?

3 plus vs 3 plus. No diff leh

You stupid? Median for PEIs don't even hit 3.

So it's 3k plus vs 2k plus idiot.

SIM-UOL, 2.4k starting in Big 14 audit firm

1. Uol graduate first class honours
2. Pursue LSE post graduate
3. Currently working in a VC firm, drawing 100k p.a.

Moral of the story: It's not where you start. It's where you end. Study hard in uol and strive to be the best and you have a way out.

How old are you now and how many years of working experience do you have?

Huh waste money for ****. I o level come out, secured a goldman sachs fo job. 100k before bonus straight.

LSE post grad (or any UK/US/Canada post grad) is very very very expensive. Not everyone can go there. Acceptance rate is easy enough, but the real obstacle is $$$$.

Alternative is SMU (for finance) or local unis.

Which VC? I must've bumped into you before at events or drinks before as the industry is so small, but don't recall such profile. There are few VC firms that pays so well.

pls. every employer knows that SIM degree = poly diploma

Lol. It's true. But I just moved into sales and trading after spending 5 years in operations. No CFA, no MSc/MBA, only a UOL 2nd upper class degree.

grats. so your uol degree lag others by 5 years LEL

Let me correct this for you. Lagging ppl who managed to get into s&t by 5 years. Now Google for basic statistics on how many ppl in sg are in s&t, defo not you. Lol. Once you have done that I'd advise you to avoid checking the salary structure coz it might make you more sore than you already are.

2015 ‐ Graduated from UOL A&F
2016 - Small accounting firm , 4k +
2018 - Pwc , 6k +
2019 - BOA, 9k +

Bonus included in monthly.

A lot slower then the big shots here but then is a true story.

Those from NUS NTU SMU do have it easier .

Worked my ass off for the first few years like 60 hrs work week.

what a ****ing loser.

Lol. This is exaggeration. Please post your cpf statement of coz without name and nric.

big cannon fairy. Accounting 4 years 9k plus monthly. I will transfer him 5k cash via paynow if he proves with past 6 months cpf statements

would have been a good heartwarming story for the new year if he hadn't tried to go for the big names so obviously...anyone who's worked at a big 4 knows very well the pay structures of those firms and how unlikely it is someone with 3yoe is going to be hired at the grade that pays 6k+.

The guy mentioned 6k per monthly inclusive of bonus.

Go by 15 months per year , is about 4.8 per monthly . Still unlikely ?

Extremely unlikely for an UOL grad

yes

have you worked in one of these places?

if you have, you'd know better than to ask if 4.8k/mo before bonus is unlikely for 3yoe, barring very specific LoS/roles, which are nearly all taken up by returning FCH grads from LSE/Oxbridge etc

if not, now you know

3 years of experience in big 4 will command you a salary of 4.8k-5k as a Senior Associate 2. Basically, you command this salary at the end of 3 year experience. It's possible but the jump to BOA for 9k, that's highly unlikely given his experience is only a year in big 4.

saltyyyyyyyy
 

for someone who claims to be in s&t you aren't very good with statistics. and doesn't change the fact that you took 5 years to enter s&t while your nus/ntu/smu/oxbridge/ivy league peers got in straight out of university. sorry for the hard truths, but you are the one who seems sore?? hahahah

Graduated from uol in 2012 started with 3k/month with bonus.

Took 1 year break in 2014.

Currently around 10 to 11k/month with bonus.

Graduated from uol in 2014 started with 2.7k/month.

Currently drawing 15k/month!!

Sure, they got in way earlier. But you didn't and you most likely won't ever. LOL. Not sure how using someone else's success as your material can help make you feel better about your miserable life, but whatever works for you. Go suck on your trash job peasant.

haha don't salty leh, if even a salty boi from UOL like you can get into s&t in 5 years, what makes you think i'm not? don't even get started on which firm pls, god knows if you're in some trash tier bank. pls la 5 years in operations fried your brain alr is it LOLOL

2 imbeciles arguing.. No offense but u sound like u hate ur life more..

UOL people just shut the **** up and understand the cold hard truth: yall will be in trash jobs.

Ignore the ******** spewed over the last few posts.

Haizzz. This thread is becoming real full of **** and bragging.

I graduated in 2012 UOL 2nd lower, salary quoted is my last drawn

2012 3.5k per month, include comms, Hong Leong Finance
2013 3.5k per month, finance training company
2015 5k per month, MBKE
2018 7k per month, boutique investment firm.

SMU grad here.
 

2017: 4.2k (joined workforce, near end of year)
2018: 4.4k (start of year)
2019: 4.5k (start of year)
2020: near 7k (start of year)

You should do some research before making such a generalising statement. A linkedin search will demonstrate UOL students are actually on a decent pay jobs, albiet some of them managed to escalate their career through obtaining their LSE master.

s://.linkedin.com/in/audreyliew/
s://.linkedin.com/in/changweiliang/?originalSubdomain=sg
s://.linkedin.com/in/wilex/?originalSubdomain=sg
s://.linkedin.com/in/limchengkai/
s://.linkedin.com/in/yu-jie-wong-5b003083/
etc etc

So, based on a couple of linkedin profiles you made an equally generalizing statement of 'UOL students are actually on a decent pay(ing) job'? Hmm.

Don't get me wrong. My only intention is to say there is a way out for UOL students to achieve the impossible if they were to put in their effort. It could be taking a longer route like the fellow S&T guy who took 5 years or it could be through doing well in school, obtaining a masters like the ones I mentioned above.

You shouldn't apply your condescending attitude where it isn't helpful. You may have a headstart but what matters is where you land.

Lanjiao la. Like in all unis, some will make it, majority will be middling, others will fail

What everyone is trying to say is that for UOL grads, majority will be equivalent to local u grads not making it. Get it?

****ing UOL idiot, how about those that did not go through LSE? The majority?

Give some examples that they made it. lol.

Lol, like the fellow who made it to s&t? 5 years into his career and start making 10k could easily be considered as "making it" by many people in the working society.

cock and balls.

i also can say i am an o level grad, now in s&t.

and btw, im 12.
