To be honest, it is hard to get to SIM kids to get into MA programs of MNCs etc. If yes, it would be through normal entry level positions. But its not impossible to get into MNC through experienced hires path. You must really have a good track record.

Try smaller firms, but associate position. They will usually try to lowball us since we are from SIM. So you have to negotiate your pay up! I remember some interviewers tried to offer me 2.3K. I told them I won't accept anything less than 3.5K. Mention that SIM is also a local university now.

You guys are lucky. I got less than 3K when I graduated 4 yrs ago. In my industry, 3.5K is for people with 2 years experience.

I got 4k starting salary, but my industry no aws and bonus very little 1.5-2mths (base on what seniors tell me) so in total still less than normal local deg grad in civil service.

What role is this? I think it's very good. Cannot compare with local uni civil service.
I think SIM grad mainly will get below 3K starting pay in general. Any higher will depend on your experience, unique skill sets.

Market insights analyst in a well known consultancy. I don't think it's really that hard to get offers above 3k, it's all about how we interview & negotiate. I got another offer at 3550 with aws, but rejected it because didn't like the industry.

I see, good to see such offers for SIM freshies. I think payscale is mainly due to the industry itself. I started with less than 3K, but bonus was around 4 to 5 months.
