With current inflation and prices, I would honestly have to say SIM grad wages have barely budged, even shrunk in some cases.
My fellow SIM UOL/RMIT peers in their first jobs 10 years ago were averaging between 2.6K to 3.2K per month.
Do not be disheartened when you see statistics of 4K'ish starting salaries of NUS/NTU/SMU graduates. There are plenty of local grads starting at mid-3K or lower than most care to admit.
From personal experience, the "Private U" label wears off after 2-3 years of paying your dues. With a timely move and reasonable negotiating skills, your wage should be on par with any local graduates, if not better, assuming private sector employers.
3 years in, your qualities and highlights should take centre stage of the hiring's attention. Your paper by now is simply a checkbox for HR to tick on a checklist.
If that is not the case, my advice would be to sit down with your bosses and relook at your current scope, responsibilities and growth trajectory.
