Dear all,

Accidentally stumbled into this site, as trying to find out some market salary benchmarks for my new staffs.

FYI, a software engineer with 2-3 years of experience ( C++, C#, .net, java, SQL...) in my engineering solutions company gets about SGD 4-5k per month (basic) excluding bonuses.

Currently the economy everywhere is doing badly. I sincerely hope that for those who earn a lot of money, so much that they find difficulties in spending it, please donate some to charities. I am a volunteer in a couple of charitable organisations and I understand the difficulty to raise money at present times.

It's quite sad if you think about it. When I started more than a decade ago I was paid about that much too.

10 years later, after all the inflation, they are still paid around the same amount...

Goodie.. > it's not sad because whatever inflation there was in the last few years or the past decade has been brought tumbling down by this current global market down turn.

Most of the inflation like COLA has been re-adjusted back to historical rates of 8 to 10 years ago.

Thus its not much the inflation as you mentioned that is mainly bringing down people's disposable income and propensity to spend but instead the large amount of retrenchments & pay cut exercise being carried out by companies now.

Honestly though my pay is still intact with no cuts yet or indication of any cuts, i can see that my workload has doubled compared from last year.

I have no problem with that.

Quite frankly if my company do well and generate profitability and my performance is good, I can and will expect another round of increment again this year.

Cheers!

Hi all...

Some of this info is quite confusing. I am interested in knowing the salary range for academic positions - so, assist. prof., assoc. prof and prof. I did read those links and threads which refer to ranges like 72K - 100K for assist. prof; 110K-150K for assoc. prof and above (max 200K) for full profs. But here is the question: are these all gross salaries? Do they include rent etc? Do these salaries also reflect adjustment for taxes that may be due in the US - in other words, are the salaries tax-adjusted? I am assuming that the junior positions require a PhD, some good publications, and at least 4 years of teaching and research background.

I am asking this because there was one site (I think it was a Times Online site) where an individual from the Personnel office of NTU wrote back to say that the pay for an assoc. prof at the lowest level in SG (in 2008) was around 100K (but this was in US$), which is about 130K in S$.

Thanks in advance for any info that you may be able to share on this matter.

Cheers!

Y pilots are not considered?

Pilots at SQ earn 120K per year right

120k only? are you sure? i think they make alot more than 120k if you include allowances and bonuses

A friend of mine is a pilot with SQ, been working for about 3 yrs, annual salary of 120K not sure if theres any additional payouts
