Mnc jobs - a must in life ??

Fmcg and hospitality are night and day…

P and g is arguably more competitive and prestigious than some banks

But if you see long term, when one industry could potentially reach saturation point of too many fresh grad talents as the starting pay is good (survival of the fittest to see who gets promoted in the long run, and even harder to get managerial roles unless you are better than the rest) while other industries have lost too many and are trying to retain talents, you can analyse to see which ones will have the faster promotion and over a 10 year period, can compare who has a better progression and/or a more stable work life balance for the pay you are getting.

This is a good point on being a big fish in a smaller pond vs smaller fish in a huge pond. We always think we are the best or have the most potential when younger.

The top performers (top tier in best mncs, self made bosses) will always make most, but most of us will pan out average

Exactly, that post was asking if have direct reports, and the reply was yes, no matter the industry.

Agree, then it reaches a stage of how much a person wants to achieve to be "comfortable". Setting my own expectations, I aim for a minimum of $20k/mth by 40-50 (or more than $260k/yr) and I am contented. Not going crazy with some of the cannon fairies of making $400k by 30 and whatnot. Those are like top 1-5% of the working population in all age groups already. If you can achieve that, well, congrats! You can comfortably go for the 5Bs (Bungalow, Bentley, Business class travel, Boss, Breasts? Iykwim)

Agree with these points as someone from MNC.

It is a balance between stable work life and salary. Just that it is normal for fresh grads to look for higher starting pay in popular industries. In comparison MNC jobs may be seen as inferior from a starting pay point of view.

Correct u should only look for managerial positions since u have the degree. Dont let any fools here tell you otherwise. Dont settle for less.

You miss the point on starting salary and life balance.

those who think mnc get good life, not true. Sometimes they just give you a task and then leave. no training whatsoever. quite tough especially if you are a fresh grad where you have never seen or do the things they are doing.

Too many GLC people in this forum.
They don't understand the competitive terrain of MNCs. You can tell from the number of creative description and incentives of MNCs.
