Sounds underpaid. I think a Manager grade with your years of experience should be at least $8K per month

Investment banking. 25-30 yrs old.

exp < 1 year but had worked in a different job (also in banking but totally different scope) before

Base: 130k (ex bonus)
not sure how much bonus I will get but used to get 2-3 mths in my previous role.

Seems low because I am the most junior in my team... and not much experience so learning from scratch

How did you get it?

Cousin's mum do secretarial work in the bank. Introduced me via email and asked him to give me career advice. Since I worked in the area, met him for lunch. I was doing operations for long time.. pay was very low and no promotion.

He was looking for junior guy so gave me a job. Just lucky I guess.

Agree that sometimes luck can open the most unexpected door towards happiness.
Pure hardwork is really not enough.
Pure luck is also shortlived.
You need both.
