Smile Salary/Prospect after 7 years?

Dear seniors and working professionals,

I am a local graduating student from a local uni and would like to enquire on career prospects after 7 years. Why 7 years? From what i observe, 7 years is the period where realistically most professions will have their salary/growth stagnated. For examples, most engineers might become senior engineers commanding a pay of $6-7k while most bank executives might get stucked at the 'AVP' title.

I would like to join the civil service/GLC but the thought of having a salary cap($6-7k after 7 years) is really depressing. I would like know if one can actually venture further in the private sector or still get realistically stucked and capped somewhere. (assuming average performer as an executive/engineer).

How much do you see yourself getting after 7 years in employment and what is your job description?

Any input is much appreciated.

7 years should be VP in a bank, about 12-15k for FO 9-10k for BO.

Huh? 7 years = stagnate? It's just about time when I just started gaining mastery & peer recognition in my field of profession i.e. career just started off

Go to craps places like siaec or ste might as well go to civil service. Most ppl take more than 10 years to reach 5k.
