SIM-UOL fresh grad starting pay

graduated last yr from e&f

took up a job with a bank (compliance) at 2.8k. yes i was shortchanged and many friends persuaded me to hop to other companies like citco, bla bla..but i didn't because i was given ample opportunities to learn many things... 7 months into my job my pay got adjusted to 3.7K. As I am approaching my 1 yr employment, i received a call last wk from a recruiter asking if im interested to move for 20% increment within the same area with another bank.

Well.. my point is - i didnt really care about pay at the start. I was fixated in getting into jobs that interests me. Pay is ranked 2nd while experience is ranked top on my priority list. That being said, pay is still a impt factor while the potential exp you'll get exposed to is equally impt as well. Best is to strike a balance between the 2... I know some peeps will just say i'm being severely underpaid / stupid.. I don't really care. Ppl's words and opinions doesn't affect my pay and progression haha. Anyway, my POV is - be realistic.

please lor last time i jump into another bank increment 1.2k. very normal to get 1k increment when u hop.

Hmm compliance has quite a number of different roles. Don't think all will have the same demand as u? Mind to share which area of compliance?

Compliance life very chill

Moved to HSBC from Citi compliance after 1 year, manage to get increment from 3.6k to 5.1k. Important is to build up good reputation in the industry.
