But if so, it means that the step up from 5pqe in both these two firms is large (confirmed that standard track 5 pqe SA at these two firms gets $11,X00 before bonus)

Dunno which guy keep trying to say his 4PQE already $12k (not including bonus), and keep trying to say the salary scale damn high but refuse to give exact amount (really full of ****). Every year $1k jump, how you add $2k every year. Everytime ppl ask him he will say "it's true la - i make that much after my 3rd year, it's standard". Think fake news.

btw the nus law guy running for election tried to cheat in an exam before. brought his notes and hid them under the exam paper even though prof said at the start of the exam that no notes can be brought in. prof went around checking and found out. he even tried to argue with the prof. ang mo prof was nice and did not give him a F. he walked out the exam hall only 1 hour into the exam though. presumably cos he didnt know how to complete the exam

I went back and checked the thread and it was multiple people saying it? Even if it was one guy, he did explain actually, so I don't think he "refuse to give the exact amount". According to those posters, the increments seem to be (according to the posts) -> 1PQE is somewhere between 6.5 to 7, each year increment is more than 1k (so let's estimate 1.3), and then there is one big promotion jump from JA to SA (let's assume 2.1k).

So let's say 1PQE 6.5k, 2 PQE 7.7k, 3 PQE 8.9, 4PQE 11k. Not 12k, but not that far off. Seems possible. Oso not sure which big 4 this is.

Can anyone confirm?

Sorry, I used 1.2 as the increment, so it should be 1PQE 6.5k, 2 PQE 7.8k, 3 PQE 9.1, 4PQE 11.2k
