back when i was in the SIA group 5 years ago, AM was quite senior.. it takes about 5-8 years to get there. not sure if it is still the same nowadays or is the progression faster. anyway, 3 years experience is still pretty junior... i think between $4-5k.

good luck.

Hi thanks for your reply. How is the working culture like in SIA? Also, how are the staff benefits and progression in the Company?

Compared to a big 4 firm, would joining SIA be useful in terms of further career progression? i.e. similar to most people joining big 4 as a stepping stone

Lastly, is it true the bonus is not that great and the notice period is at least 3 months?

Thanks!

work culture is like a typical GLC. hierarchical and be prepared to write a lot of papers. back then the best perk was economy travel to any SQ destination every year for yourself and immediate family, but that's nothing compared to your older subordinates who are under the old scheme that was a first class ticket to any SQ destination for the family. (good luck on the income tax though) progression is slow... expect to take at least 10-15 years to get to a real departmental manager (with 3-4 layers of reporting structure) level. bonus 3-6 months, not sure if you can call that "not that great". you're right about the 3 months notice period at the executive level.

not sure about big 4 as i was not in the finance side... undoubtedly SQ group was a good place for me to start my career and no regrets!

Unfortunately things have changed a lot since you left and ever since change of CEO.

Nowadays much easier to get promoted, but the pay progression is just as slow. All the HR do is to bring down all the criteria required for each promotion. Now there are a lot of managers that are 5-6 years exp only, but the manager pay is about equal to last time senior exec or AM.

As for bonus, haha for average performer no more 6 months already for the past few years. Most people 2-3 mths bonus (exc aws) is to be expected.

The free SQ tickets are no longer appealing as first you need to pay tax on it, secondly now with budget airlines flying further and further, a free ticket for the family is not really seen as very magical or what.

IN theory nothing wrong in doing these assessments, lots of top global mnc do it as well. But the prob is when a company like SIA cannot offer anything close in terms of pay and career prospect try to act elite, the whole thing comes across as bureaucratic and unrealistic.
