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.

Don't worry guys, uol and rmit ranking is higher than local uni like smu. We can do it.

a little sad if you really think UOL and RMIT is of better value than SMU

For private uni grads, easiest way to break above 4k starting is to do a tech related career. Even so, local u grads in tech will still command higher pay, normally 10-15% more. This is very common in GLCs where there is more overt pay discrimination
