Best-Paying Jobs in Singapore (2008)

Hi everyone,

I am 30, working in Malaysia. I am considering an opportunity in Singapore which I'm being headhunted for in one of the research/consulting firms eg. IDC, Gartner, Frost & Sullivan etc. as either a Senior Analyst or Account Manager. Two possible positions which they have earmarked me for. I'm just curious what would be the salary for such positions. Don't want over demand or short change myself. Appreciate it if you guys could share your input. Thanks in advance.

jma, there are many salary research documents released on the internet.

Also, as always, you should ask them what the ranges are for either position. They should be able to tell you.

i think Accountant manager is about 7~9k.

14. Computer operations and network manager - $9,300

I seriously doubt that figure. IT folks are one of the lowest paid ppl.

hi, does anyone have any idea how much a interior designer earns in Singapore? I don't see any design-related jobs in the list & I'm doubting my interest in interior design will suffice salary-wise when I graduate. Pls share your experience!

hi all,

Can I check with you guys?

I am 28 years old.

Working as Business Director.

Getting SGD$8,000 basic salary.

Excluding bonus and commission

Is it fair & competitive?

Thank you

seng

Last thing to add.. average commission per month is $1k to 2k.

so basic 8K + 1K commission (minimum) is SGD9K.

Can anyone tell me if it's competitive for my age?

andyseng, "competitive" is a very vague word leh. If you use the salary comparison tool in this website, you'll find that you're near the top of the curve percentage wise. Is that "competitive"?

On the other hand, I know quite a number of people who make around what you're making at around the same age. So does it mean your salary is "competitive"?

Also, Business Director is too vague to tell whether it's competitive or not, since it's just a title. It really depends on your industry, how it is doing at the moment, etc. etc.

Professionals in the financial industries be it insurance agents, relationship managers, personal bankers, fiance directors are now facing salary cutbacks and bonus reductions, that is if their benefits haven't already been cut.

I have friends who are finance directors/CFOs and they are in their mid 30s and they get 12-15K average pay excluding other perks. Now some of them are facing cuts/reductions in their packages.

It is now bygone days for finace professionals. This recession Singapore is in now will last 12 to 18 months. It will be tough times ahead for all, more so for these people.

I am not worried because I have the capability, talent, knowhow, skills, work ethics and passion to be a profit centre for my company in the areas of my depatments.

Is the above ranking consider both senior & junior positions?
May I ask that I am the 100th electronic engineer with monthly 3.2k, is underpaid right?
