Just basic salary, but bonus is not high for support staff, average about 3-3.5 months

Is HR a suitable career for men? My friend is in HR field and he says he finds it difficult to get jobs

2005 = 3400

2008 = 6k+ (promoted to M)
2010 = 8400 (Promoted to AVP)
2011 = 9300

You 1st class honors ?

HR still can get 3.4k starting is alot even for female in 2005!!!

it seem that your
-annual increment every year is abt ~10%
-each promotion increment abt ~20-30%
which is alot!!!!



my engineering coy: even for promotion increment for 'A' grader is max 8%, annual increment for 'A' grader is max 5-6% only!!!! How pathetic!!!

for someone "C to B" grader like me only getting
-promotion = +4%
-annual increment = ~+3.5%

I can't even hit 3.9k after 5 years with my company with 1 promotion loh, I start at 2.9k....

This misconception occur because most companies lump admin as HR. Admin about 90% dominated by women while real HR roles are more balanced about 2/3 ladies 1/3 men.

I dun think men are at disadvantage for real HR roles, esp Rewards & Performance management are dominated by men.

But many men I met in HR are a little sissy.

Your progression is quite fast. I graduated in 2007 and now in my 2nd job as HR Development Specialist drawing 5950.

Agree, but TBH I don't quite like the guys from Rewards, too yaya papaya behave like lawyers & bankers.

U took 1 yr to promote from AM to M, and then 2 yrs to promote from M to AVP..that's amazing..and u're not even doing sales.

Are u actually on management associate prog or u're actually a HR management consultant?
Or any special external circumstances? Or u get performance grade A every single year..?

Pls share your success story! thanks!

Saw an ad for Senior HR Specialist (Safety) at UPS, Singapore, to be in charge of safety. Anyone knows more about the progression there? Any chance to switch to other HR fields?

Thanks for your advice.
