"General Manager" in GLCs

[Counterpost]

Read in the forum title inflation can be quite serious in the GLCs (Keppel, Sembcorp). Read on a thread that Assistant Mgr/Mgr is M1 grade and M4 is the grade for a real manager.

To share, my friend once received an offer of $5500 (basic) + $1500 (overseas allowance, on-site accommodation provided) for the position of "Deputy General Manager" for a certain function in one of the overseas JV company. He turned down the offer early on and did not get to find out the actual grade.

Will like to ask, for overseas JV posting, what is the grade for a "General Manager" for a function, and the approx basic monthly salary?

JV is the most flexible. Basically they can name the jobs anything they like without affecting the parent, I know of people making 5k+ who instant transform to "CEO" of a small JV when out posted.

$5500 is either a non-manager executive level or at most M1.
