Presales. Actually 8 years experience, but yes, local uni grad.
When I first started out, I didn't think I could reach this salary level before I was 35 (at least not in IT sector), but now it would appear that it is not that uncommon...?

I believe VP of IT in BB should earn more than that, actually - but perhaps someone here could confirm.

Yeah agreed should be higher

My wife and I plan to retire soon.
We have $500k for us to retire on from age 55 to 65.
When we reach 65, we will receive $4k pm ($2k pm each) from our CPF Life.
Our condo is fully paid up.
We can retire comfortably as we don’t plan to own a car and we will cook delicious healthy dishes at home by ourselves.
We plan to exercise regularly, take up new hobbies, read, etc during our retirement.
We look forward to our retirement after working so hard at school (15 years) and at work (30 years).
Time to relax and smell the roses.
Our children are grown up and can take care of themselves.
We don’t pamper them. They are strong, independent individuals. We are proud of them.

YOu will only be paid as much as your employers think you are worth. So get moving improving your worth. Good Luck!
