You seem to have experience in the sector. What about software consulting jobs in commodities risks? Any idea on their possible career progression/salary range/exit into bank ops?

The problem in SE Asia or SG is that they don't regulate how much you can charge in certain industry.. eg. medical.. this is why we have been seeing so many drs who practice this profession purely for money.. and often overcharging their patients. Ethics and passion are non existence anymore... They are like bankers.. they are given the "license"
As for engineering, many took up the course because of a childhood dream/ambition..
I want to build high rise buildings/planes...

I thought it is free market and price is determined by supply and demand?
Why regulate to artificially set a price at an unnatural level?

Sounds to me some guy not happy with his pay demanding PAP to order companies to pay him higher.

In the law industry, they protect their salary by cutting down the list of law school grads that are qualified to work in Singapore.
Engineers don't have such anti-competitive practices.

As do another thousand of industries that do not limit grads. Are you suggesting PAP to step in to order all the schools to recruit based on what they say and tell companies to pay minimum sun?

If you seek medical advise or service.. most of the time.. you get an initial quote but your final bill will be inflated.. same as lawyers
But most of the other industries.. discounts will be demanded and you suffer a long payment terms..

And many lawyers are complaining their workload too heavy, and too much overtime. Would they rather have unlimited law students, lower salary but more lawyers to distribute out the work?
Guess high pay equates high workload.

What are the chances of engineers going to the financial sector? Further studies and get an internship inside? Nowadays alot of the jobs in finance all want pre-requisite knowledge of banking ops etc its not so easy

Govt sector engineers payrise
Recently there was an article stating that Govt is relooking into the pay of public service engineers. Probably it might be more attractive now to work in the public sector
