You always have a choice lah. Even staying in your current job is a choice. So don't say no choice, there is always a choice. Bigger risk, bigger returns.

Didn't I just share the story about my friend above? Until he happened to go to that interview he thought he had "no choice" also.

I am 30. My day job pays only 4.5K. I fly off immediately after 6pm everyday to go home to do the things I love. I can't remember when was the last time I did any OT. My job is stable, recession proof and nobody is going to sack me anytime soon.

Once a week, I moonlight for a couple of hours in the evening for an extra $1k.

Both the day job and the moonlight are not what I will call a career. I can't find a purpose in my jobs and dread to do this for the rest of my life.

I am trying to make a change.... but its recession. Anyway, I am in IT. Someone tell me what I need to do, please?

The figure shown is grossly low. Let's put it this way out of 30 people at age 34, 18 of them earn more than $10,000 a month.

- this data cannot use, of course they know their limit before they apply for credit extension. they don't represent the general public

Non-IB, so what are exactly the things you love? Cannot make money out of it eh?

The amount I stated is what I can make. 4% increment per year, that's about it.

Nope, cannot make money out of the things I love.

1. Depends on the bank and if the person joined at that specific level, or joined at the lowest level and moved up from there

2. Local bank vs Foreign Bank

3. Job Role, typically IB, Front office Derivative Sales and Trading (all asset classes, FX to Fixed Income to Credit to Commodities) pay more than any other dept in a bank

For Foreign bank, and front office. Let me give a very very rough gauge
Analyst (2.5 to 8k/pm)
Associate (5 to 10k/pm)
AVP (7 to 17k/pm)
VP (10 to 35k/pm)
...
MD (shitloads...)

In some banks there is a D(irector) between VP and MD.
