That's quite under average considering the buzz words that you dropped like hedge fund, trading desk, commodities trading..

I was in an unglamorous GLC and was already making $70+k in my 4th year. By the 5th year I took an overseas posting and my all in salary jumped to US$250k.. but then again that was because it was a considered a hardship posting.

not bad. but not everyone is gonna be earning 250k usd a year. you probably have to be a little more realistic. thou i must say u did really well. i'm happy where i am considering that i just grad and was working full time and studying at the same time before this. No joke man its so tiring sometimes just to juggle both.

Is 75K to 80k pa the whole package?

Hi everyone,
Just wanted an opinion of how I am doing compared to my peers:

How are my fellow UOL grads doing?

- Min. 21 years old
- Have a local A level cert / local poly diploma

2. Conducting interviews to narrow the number of potential candidates who will be interviewed by the hiring Director
3. Responsible for conducting reference checks by verifying employment information and contacting the professional and personal contacts provided by the candidate
4. Manage the staffing needs of the organisation and the payroll of staff

Was having a talk with my Friend the other day who firmly believed that his UOL first was not equivalent to a local uni 2nd upper.

Is this true pay-wise? Was thinking that a mba would surely favour a uol First applicant?

Distance learning degrees will never be on the same footing as local degrees.

even in the local degree scene, NUS > NTU, so for UOL to be anywhere in the admission officer's hand for MBA schools, it gotta be far mate

I always thought that foreign MNCs HR would be more accepting of a good class private degree though (Esp a UOL first class, isn’t UOL one of the best private degrees?). And also thought that NUS/NTU/SMU were pretty similar.

You don't get it. It's a DISTANCE LEARNING degree. So the quality/acceptability of it is definitely lower.
