Thanks in advance.

Title not very important, how much you are earning is more important! So fresh grads have manager title but earn 3k while you have a manager title earning 8k when you go for interviews and look for jobs when they offer you they offer you based on your current salary ma.

Banks VP salary ranges from 9k - about 15+k

For local bank yes, but this is about AVP level for foreign bank. I assume base on TS experience should be drawing at least 10k now, if want can go for Director title, but my advice is don’t ask for VP, sounds very funny for a non-bank company.

govt admin =/= admin job.

in the same sense the NUS business admin students don't study about admin too.
and NUS public admin students don't study about admin too.

+1

I heard VP in non-banks is for very senior people eg. >20k. Better stick with Director in your case.

By right title should not matter, but we are in a stage where everyone is doing it. So when you stick with a lousy but correct title, you lose out as people automatically assume you are very junior.

Just ask for good title, better safe than sorry and doesnt cost a cent anyway.
