Hoping to clear up some doubts and mis-information with regards to salaries in SG. These are the latest salary report guides by Robert Half SG for 2011:

Robert Half is a recruitment agency. Agencies are famous for super inflating their salary numbers to attract candidates to deposit CV with them.
If you want accurate benchmarks you need to go to management consulting firms like Aon Hewitt, Mercer, Hay, Towers Perrin, HRBS etc. For eg. there is no way an average IT guy can hit $125k in 6 years like what they report. High fliers possible, but as an average, no. I agree even mid and back office jobs in banks make a lot more than outside, but you loose credibility when you quote a recruitment agent. |
The title of the thread is "Stop the Misinformation.." U mean the forumers or the recruitment agency is giving wrong figures?
Besides the earlier post on attracting candidates..higher advertised salaries also make sense for recruitment agents since they are paid a % of the successful candidates' salaries. So they have more incentive to inflate figures.. Perhaps by applying a discount of 20-30% on all the figures provided, we'll be closer to the real numbers in the market :) |

Since I'm switiching from engineering, I thought underquote a bit to make myself more competitive, but it's still 30% more than what I'm getting now. If the numbers are inflated, then I could be quoting numbers too high... |
don't worry, at the most they just won't call you back.

My fren in earned 6000 after 6 yrs in Esso plus his bonus everything it's more 125K. Another fren of mine in UBS, 7K after 7 yrs ...also abt 125K . |

Why you repeat the point again? The 125k refer to basic salary not with bonus btw, so even your friend from UBS & Esso also fail to meet which again proves the pt these numbers are BS. |
