Service management for traders? Pay is pretty good. Are you VP or SVP level?

Sometimes I see some replies are not realistic or just want to gain attention.. I mean at a young age like 20, early 30s yet earn like $100k onwards is like too much or a minority unless u and the directors are related or doing sales like properties etc. But for a regular salary person seems very hard. Though me and my bro with diploma now earns more than a regular degree holder and holding management post respectively but not yet breach that level... How ah?

100k is very common now. Maybe top 30% of people in their thirties.

Agreed. I just turned 30 this year and I made 200k alone last year. Money is so easy here if you know where to look.

VP. I guess nothing to be proud off. Some people below my level would earn more as their base is low but bonus 4-6 months.

I am the one who posted the previous entry. I must say 100k these days are really the norm. Among my circle of friends, i`m considered average only. There are amounts i heard (which i woundn't reveal here) that are obscene to even mention.

Whatever it is, be close to money if you like money. Do sales engineering, banking, trading, O&G, O&M, etc. You will see for yourselves the sweet reality. Nevertheless, be sure to like what you are doing as the pursue for money will definitely run you down one day.

Where did you look?

Believing the salary posted here is like believing that god exists.
It's up to your faith.

I propose a simple test to yourself. Ask yourself:

how many people earn that kind of salary? Just look at your boss and guess how much he/she earns and how many years it took for them? Look at your neighbors. I think that should give you a rough estimate of the incoming of your peers.
What does the statistics show?
What are the tax rate groups, why do you think they are structured in such a way?
How many people you know works in bank's front office or O&G? For those you know, what kind of life are they living?
How many percentage of each job market is represented here versus the distribution of jobs in Singapore?
Who are most likely to post anonymous and what would they gain by doing so?
What proof do these people who boasted high salary have to show for?

36yr, IT, Healthcare MNC
72k annual + Variable Bonus (targeted at 18% of annual pay)
