Hi, I think what ur asking is really too general and it's hard to give a concrete answer. I feel that disregarding all other factors such as interview skills or past experience, obviously if it was a HR opening you are talking about, a hiring manager would be more inclined towards meeting the candidate with a HRM degree. However, this is really really too generic and hard to say, for it really depends on the firm itself. generally the bigger and more established the firm, you should expect them to be more stringent on the major and university you are from. but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of at least getting an interview in the mid-to-smaller firms even with an unrelated degree. my advice would be if you are sure you want to do HR area of work in future, might as well get a HRM degree.

Hi I am a fresh grad (NUS Computing Science) have been offered a consultant position at a MNC recruitment company.

Basic is 3650, monthly incentive is 15% of billing and it goes up to 25% when exceed 2x target. Anyone can advise if this is good or can negotiate more?

basic is ok, incentive depends on your quota. for eg. if you meet the quota at 1x how many months per year is the incentive? any allowance?

what class of honours?
male or female??


3650 is good starting pay!!!, my salary after 3 years can't even hit 3.4k even with 1 promotion

hmm fresh grad at $3650 starting pay ? 1st class honors ? haha
previous experience before entering Uni ?

Basically one born in a Baby boomer era vs a Y generation era mentality.

The Y Gen talk about freedom, it is a must to give them as we owe them while the Baby boomer talk about seniority, respect etc

So whom is right?

The quarterly quota is 50k, but no sharing for the first 20k. So that makes the incentive (50k - 20k) x 15% = $4500. So assume I meet quota in all 4 quarter then should be $4500 x 4 = $18,000. Works out to be ~5 months bonus if I can hit quota consistently for whole year.

Allowance not much only $200 monthly mainly for handphone.

No honors, pass with merit. Male. Anyway I dont think private companies care about honors or NS.
