No OT is pure exploitation, the market is paying fresh grads at 3.5k + OT now

It has pushed me to a point that i dont mind switching to another industry.

Yea i might refer them to MOM.

My job is more related to QA of h/w products

asking u to come back on weekends with no compensation is pure exploitation and thinking u r gd to bully...

do not let these companies bully them... tell them to pay u (at least off in lieu for weekends) as they r supposed to... accordingly to labour law, no one is allowed to work more than 60 hours a week...

please kindly report such companies and let them collapse!

I will say it's more 3.2k without OT on average. Typically for most PMET roles, coys do not pay OT. If they do, it's a privilege not a right.

Wow seems like at least 3k is the basic. Guess i have landed myself in a horrible company

If you are happy then you could consider staying, but since you are having doubts then there's no harm looking around to see what other jobs are out there.

Just to share that I was class of 2005 from the same course. I never went into IT after my graduation so it's not too late to consider moving to another industry.

Hi, mind telling which field you going after grad?
