am i underpaid? please advise
I graduated from NTU in 2008 and I am 24 years old this year.
I worked in a shipyard as a marketing assistant after I graduated and I was making $2,200/month. I stayed in this job for 6 months and left as I felt I was not learning anything. I was made to photocopy, compile papers and put them into files mostly. Now, I am working as a sales exec in a small semiconductor trading company and it has been 10 months. I get a basic pay of $2,000/month + commission. However, I still make less than $2,400/month plus commission. I work monday to friday 8.30 AM to 8.00PM. Please advise if I am being underpaid or I just suck at what I do. My friends are getting paid at least $3,000 as a fresh graduate and they are not any different from me. My Background: I graduated from NTU Business (Marketing) - 2nd Lower. My grades are not fantastic, but not too bad as well, mostly Bs and some As (GPA: 3.8/5.0). I was quite active in school, participating in one exchange programme and one global summer studies programme. |
Yups. Think you are underpaid.
My background: 2nd upper Science Graduate (NUS). Class of 2007. Civil Servant. Earning $4.4k gross monthly. I'm not a scholar btw. |

You are severely underpaid considering your working hours. |
confuses for
Quote:
can i know how do you calculate your 4.4k, is it derive from from annual salary(inclusive all bonus & allowance) divided by 12 ?? or is it just just your plain ( monthly basic + allowance monthly) I dunno civil servant can earn so much. I suppose you are a male (with NS), that why your starting pay in 2007 with 2nd upper can be high. I had friend working in defence ministry (DXO) 2nd upper NTU engineering getting ($3600/month (with NS) as fresh graduate. Can i know base on your experience as civil servant, how much is the annual increment, how much in term of number? of how many percentage? I assume that monthly basic as of 2010 is $4400 and you start your job in july/2007, as of 2010 you should have given 2 annual increment, 1 in 2008 and 1 in 2009. Note: I think there should be another annual increment for 2010 in the later part of year 2010. So I assume your starting pay is 3600, after 2 increment , you are getting 4400. That mean each annual increment is about $400. And converted to % is = 10% annual increment. That is alot. Info: NTU mechanical graduate in 2007 2nd lower class Working under local STEngg Group Moi Annual increment in 3.2% in 2008, pay freeze in 2009. My starting pay in 2007 is 2.9k. That why I am asking you out of my curiously--> Can i know base on your experience as civil servant, how much is the annual increment, how much in term of number/value? or how many percentage? Please advice thank you. |

Starting pay was $3.3k in 2007 Went up to $3.6k in 2008 Then to $3.8k in 2009 Then to $4.4k in 2010 By default, you get an annual increase in pay (called merit increment;dependent whether u perform well at work) and on top of that a promotional increment (if you get promoted to a higher job-grade) |
