Realistic Starting Pay for fresh grads 2016?

Only a few with FCH can get above $150k la..
Our yearly budget would have been negative if they pay every CS staff for idling around stroking each other's balls.

People can laugh at how CS cannot make it, paper pusher, no progression, cannot be tycoon etc. But the fact is they are drawing 150k++ salary every year like iron rice bowl all the way to 67 while some 50 year old low level pte sector manager will be begging for mercy from his FT boss not to retrench him.

I don't know why is it so remarkable to earn 6-7k at age 32.

All of the top private sector people are getting that amount in their first few years of work... They probably hit 10k by 30. I am referring to MAs across banks and MNCs, which are also similar FCH caliber people that you mentioned in CS.

I'm getting 6k not including bonus. Bonus was 4
Months last year. I'm 27. Private sector(banking). But job stability not as high as civil service. In my one year plus of working, I have seen many upper middle management get fired. They are around 45-55 in age. For civil service can just slack and earn all the way till 67. i hope to retire by 50 before I get axed

Yeap, oil and gas aside, there are a lot of very good grad/MA programs in private sector MNCs that allow rapid progression and salary increases.

I don't know why so many CS people come here talk until like got tiger, got dragon. Maybe next time they might claim all scholars will BAO Jia become Perm Sec some more.

Lol everyone in private sector seems to be doing really well. Looks like civil servants will get to enjoy a pay revision soon as their pay is pegged to the private sector.

Why would it be negative? Our budget is funded by tax payers. And according to the posts here, taxpayers are doing extremely well in this thriving economy. I am sure the tax they pay is more than sufficient to cover the salary of CS staffs.
