54000/year is extremely low.... really. On hindsight, u should consider switching job after 3 years......
41,000 to 54,000 in 6 years is really very slow....
My opinion, look for another company that value yr exp and compensate u accordingly.

Solution Architect, Not a financial institution, i dont want to complain but my 145k seems low with my 12 years of experience. Am I wrong? i am still blind in the SG IT market. Anyone can help?

Actually it's pretty decent. From your perspective, there are actually 2 ways to look at it ie fair value inn Singapore and equivalent pay in the US.
In a Singapore context, at S $12k per month, u are definitely in the upper strata of pay scale, regardless of industry.
On an equivalent US basis, u are drawing about US $120k. Singapore taxes are c. 10% as and I believe u will be subject to US taxes for amounts above US $80k. So assuming no double taxation (need to check if there is anus bilateral agreement between us and Singapore Ontathis), you will be taxed at US rates of 35% (estimated) for c. US $28k ($120k salary less $12k Singapore taxes less $80k global taxation threshold). Based on above assumptions, your take home pay is c. US $98k.
this is equivalent to a pay of c. US $150k ($98 / 0.65) ... which is very decent pay in the US where US $100k jobs are considered high paying gigs (I spent close to a decade there).
Of course, u would feel a lot richer with a $98k take home there than u would here because cars and houses are so expensive here, but purely from salary perspective, u are doing very decently.

senior sales exec
im 23, working as a sales executive for 3 pushcarts ( Etc hiring parttimers , training them how to sell , doing sales records , payslips , and all admin stuff , and when parttimers last minute cannot work i have to go down to cover , ..so when goods arrive from overseas if im not covering duties i have to go to warehouse and pack them in the warehouse .)
i was paid 1.4k basic with 2.8% commission from all pushcarts . handphone bill $50 .
been working since last last year Dec.
there was once recently i was really unhappy and got into an arguement with my boss that im really stress as she was overseas and i was like covering duties the whole week . i asked for pay rise but she told me that she is just starting her own business and cannot afford to pay me that much . and said to trust her that she will pay me well when the business is going well in the future . in the end raised basic 200 , and transport 200 . my basic is now 1.8k.
i have no comment on this whether to trust her anot . as time is running , im doing so many things like a 2-man job . sometimes im really stress dunno what to do .
what do you guys think my pay should be getting at?

Learn from her and start your own pushcart empire. When you become a boss, pay your staff reasonable salary and don't overwork them. Don't be the type of boss that you now hate.
How much commission have you been given so far?
