SIM-UOL fresh grad starting pay

Current pay is around 4.2k, in the comms line. Jiayou!

Hi - thanks for encouragement! I’m interested in comms also. What was your progression in gov agencies like?

I'm under the MX scheme and obviously a farmer, so progression/increment will be slow. The struggle will be getting to SAD/DD level I guess.

I don't even have money to go for a holiday overseas

And I'm nowhere near good looking so Geylang is out of the question

That's a cool story brother, thank you for sharing

Might not be much compared to FO in banks/tech but we all start somewhere & have our own path. Just work hard, communicate well & network. All the best everyone, be it private or local uni grad. Don't hate, just love. Life is too short too hate & bash each other. There's more to life.

this is so tragic

Fresh grad yes, but tbh once you hit SM/AD level, paper qualifications don't matter as much I think. Know quite a few of them holding private degrees. Salary wise, it took around 2.5 years. There was quite a good increase after emplacement, plus if you served NS, you get a few hundred more as well. But progression from here onwards will definitely be slow...

I’m just a poly graduate from TP A&F and currently serving NS. I didn’t do well during poly which I regretted because all I did was play and play. Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter anymore because what’s done, done. We can only look forward and make decisions that’s best for the future by learning from the past.

So I came to this forum to get a rough gauge of the salary that I can expect to get as a UOL-SIM graduate. There are some valuable information out here but half of them are just a joke. People bashing one another over the prospects and starting salary of their degrees. I’ll expect local uni students to be more educated and virtuous but it seems that it’s not the case uh. Bunch of trollers. Why are you even on this thread? Isn’t it clearly SIM UOL FRESH GRAD STARTING PAY?

You will probably flame me by saying “you haven’t even graduate or done anything useful in your life so just stfu.” Yeah flame me all you want. I can deal with it.

Why get so affected by the trolls? Some of them are probably not even local uni students or grads (you think they got the time to cyberbully us? Lol) Feel like many of those who talk **** abt private uni are edmw bbfa or unemployed 60 y.o. uncle type. Chill lah brother.
