Top 100 jobs in Singapore (2007)

I am a 29 year old doctor working in a restructured hospital. My basic pay is 4K. Allowance is less than 1 K.

The salary conducted by MOM is obviously looking at specialists in their 40s or 50s.

Howcome:

Nah, my cousin's real, he paid CASH for his condo in 3yrs. I'm not revealing his job but it's among the top 5 in the list .

Ronaldo,
Be thankful that you are earning so much more than most of us. Some people are barely scraping through with 2k SGD/month. Learn to carry yourself like Warren Buffett, the richest man in the world, who still stays in his old house for 30 years. If you wanna be respected, why not start parting %30 of your pay to people in need like those in Sichuan or Myanmar? Remember this, money can buy you a lot of things, but it cannot buy you true friends and more importantly, life. The probability of Man dying is and will always be 1.
Hope you are able to gain some perspective on this and focus on other things.

Mind you, I have a PhD and am earning way less than you are. I complain a bit but what the heck, I am still alive, which is good (after facing life-threatening scenarios). So please, be very thankful and think about how you can use your money for something purposeful. Cheers!

DP - "Some local university fresh grads earn more than him. What's there for him to brag aloud???"

What you are saying is Nonsensical and rubbish. Let's just say by a scratch of our imagination, there are indeed a handful of fresh graduates getting more than me. i.e. BASIC > 12K. The amount in total is just 12K with a couple of bonuses at year end and some petty allowances. Add to that being new in the company, they must work hard and continously proved their worth for at least few months to a year.

Now back to me. My basic is 12K. Add to this my allowance to entertain my clients/accounts/new business is uncapped and unlimited. Add to that I have a $200 phone allowance on my own personal mobile phone + a black berry phone with unlimited access to make calls outgoing + commission which is on average $2K per month with new business + corporate card to entertain my clients + totally flexible working environment here i can choose to lunch for 2 to 3 hours in between if i want to + i can leave office anytime after 4-5 pm if i am tired or if i feel like leaving office.

Compare all this to the new fresh uni grad. I dont feel at all envious. I am born in the year 1981 Dec, so techincally I am stil not even 28 years old or 27 yet. Comparing the age of the fresh grad be it a guy or girl, youngest i give them 23 years old. So what? The differential in age is only 4 years. And I am up for my next performance review in September this year. With every review, my salary will go up minimum 10% or at least the standard guide in my company is such. But usually my increment is always expected to be 30% or least 25%.

I also expect after end of the year or CNY, I will be given a 6 month monitoring period to succeed the role of AGM (assistant GM). Once i am successfuly, my position increases and my pay scale will be in a totally new dimension.

I am not booasting nor lying. I don't see the need to lie to anyone because doing so would be the BIGGEST lie to myself. I am happy with what i got but i really aspire to be more than what i can be. To break the barrier of being the best.

I may only drive a BMW Z4 but at least I am not afraid or need to constantly look behind my back to see if i will be retrenched. Oil prices are sky rocketing, alot of pilots are being retrenched... lesser demand for air travel because air travel are becoming increasing expensive. ..they are becoming redundant. Watch it David Seah.

windwaver - your cousin 26 years old, is making 250K per annum?? ridiculous and Nonsensical. Even any person opening their ass crack or opening their legs to people cannot even smell near that amount, even if they do it 24/7. What does your cousin do btw? He imagines monopoly money?? haha.. Nonsensical.

I am not yet 27 years old until Dec this year. In chinese, my age is plus one so 28 coming. But the fact is I am only coming 27 years old and I am this much.

Signing off,

Regards, Ron

Oh typo error. even if the fresh grad makes > 12K. The amount in total is just slightly >12K with a couple of bonuses at year end and some petty allowances. Add to that being new in the company, they must work hard and continously proved their worth for at least few months to a year.
... (the rest read from my previous post)

Ronaldo:

Seriously, can't help if you don't believe. I probably can ask him to show you his deed 3 yrs later lol.

He's just 1 lucky fellow among my relatives. Many of my classmates are earning around your range, so, figure that out.

Plus, they don't usually come in here and post .

Ronaldo, You are still full of yourself and bragging as much as before if not more.

For all you know, I am a corporate aviator. Not any tom dick or harry's airline pilot. So I don't face retrenchment despite fuel price skyrocketing. In fact, that boost my income as wealthy clients, VVIPs can't afford to have disruption from normal Airlines services. They rather fly private jets with privacy. Don't you worry about me.

STOP being a SMART ALEX !!!

Everyone's tired of your ego boosting. You have a real problem. Better to go see a psychiatrist at IMH.

Hi forum, pardon me for intruding. What is the obsession surrounding this Ronaldo chap? Getting a 12k per month deal for an under-30 is no big deal these days if you are in the right industry. Investment banker, management consultant, entrepreneur and even credit card salesgirls have achieved that. I was one of them. If the money is good that's usually a trade off elsewhere - long hours, frequent travel, crazy clients, earning uncertainty. Look at the hotshot here, his personality is clearly nothing to be envy about. Anyway, I am surprised that hotshot is 29 year old. His world view is certainly less matured.

Hi all ,

This is a plea to all everyone who read this..
If everyone just ignore Ronaldo's thread and carry on with what this thread was originally started for.I mean every thread..Dun even bother to comment a single word on his follow up remarks.

He replied to save his face,so let pls let him do what he want to do..Just ignore him,Please stop fueling him with chances to even reply.( even this..)
Please let him live in his own world, dun disturb him..DUN mention about him or his name again if he even tried to irritate anyone here!!!

Your kind cooperation will bring stability to the future of this forum.

Ronaldo, I can smell sour grapes here but I would not want to waste time with you on all your allegations but only 2:

-->"What you are saying is Nonsensical and rubbish. Let's just say by a scratch of our imagination, there are indeed a handful of fresh graduates getting more than me. i.e. BASIC > 12K.

Add to that being new in the company, they must work hard and continously proved their worth for at least few months to a year."

First thing, there's no scratch of imagination. Just because you're not well informed doesn't mean there aren't. Shame on you as a media director. I don't know if you're a foreigner or not, but at 27 going 28 years old you're not that young; if you don't serve national service, you'd have been in the workforce for a good number of years as compared to our young grads. Earning your kind of salary is no big deal. Just a simple example, a lawyer in an established firm at the same age will surpass you with $200k, and I can tell you there are plenty of such young high income earners in the finance and real estate industries.

Your statement here reads rather conditionally and probabilistic:-

"I also expect" after end of the year or CNY, I will be given a 6 month monitoring period to succeed the role of AGM (assistant GM).

"Once i am successfuly", my position increases and my pay scale will be in a totally new dimension.

It's equally likely that you get fired and as good as saying that if my properties appreciate in value by 50% more, I'd be getting another $5 mil.

And you can even be bothered to mention your petty $200 phone allowance.. Go sell your lucrative yachts and you don't have to be a slave
