This is accurate right? How did you manage to compile the stats? Yes my pay is above the median for both manager and professional, so happy. S$4K monthly before bonuses and CPF contribution, 29 years old.
|
i am not happy. getting 7.5k, 30 years old. But i know there are tons of people around my age getting alot higher. Damn…..
|
displeased: yeah its true. Dunno whether the figures above are artificially deflated, they seem detached from reality. I know lots of people drawing $10K at only 27 years old.
|
wow i am only getting 2.7k a month, 31. sad.

I think all of you should read this to interpret the meaning of median. CancerGuide: The Median Isn't the Message
Also, note that this is a sample statistics and not population statistics (right?). |
Still, the numbers should be indicative right? If everyone around me is making 10k, then the numbers must be wrong… (but my friends aren’t making 10k :) )sti
|
oh so it’s not average? what’s the average then?
|
Wow Librarians make a lot of $$$!
Librarian 45 5,228 |
still, i don’t know the pay of everyone around me..only a select few..only 2 who are in the same job earning $10K a month..the rest are about within the median bracket highlighted above. I only rather narrowly exceeded the median by $400 for my age bracket.
What pique my interest is that, the manager pay is higher than professional pay for the same age. This means that a manager in a so called non-professional field eg F&B manager earns less than a professional eg engineer, lawyer? |
