Your intention to start a database is good, but it will be uselss and lead to even more confusion because you are reporting your observation base on job title which every company define differently.

You need to find out what is the equivalent GGS / JL / PC of each job in order to do a apple to apple comparison.

Agreed, for eg. the kind of pay his Sales Director earn is roughly equiavalent to our Key Account or Sales Specialist.

The term GM is also too broad as pay will be very different depending on the size of the operations. The hotel being 5 stars does not determine GM pay, the stars only good for marketing to customers.

Hi Daryl, are you from those industries mentioned? Do you mind sharing your view on the Aviation/Airline industry? I'm considering to step into this arena with an Diploma Engineering Cert with little Administration experience but I have totally no interest in Engineering so aerospace is totally out of question. I hope that anyone could guide me some path in the industry, and contribute greatly to our country's aviation business. Cheers!

Is it possible for an ex-SIA steward (local degree holder finished 3-4years of flying and 29-30yo by then) to transition to a Managerial role - Eg. Guest relations manager or even floor GM requesting starting pay from 5k/mth onwards?

Most stewards move on to become property and insurance agents. Stewardesses have much more options, though.

Depends on what you mean by manager. A lot of low paying executive jobs are called managers in hospitality, so those you can try.

GM not possible lar, how to convince a hotel to hire a someone with 3-4 years waiter experience as GM?
