if you are from NUS, and grad at 25/26 for male, how did you got 7 years exp at age 30 ??
it seem that you are doing alot of OT to hit 90k/annum???

Total = basic 3500x(12+1+4) + allowance 1300x12 = 75100

If include 5% stock into annual salary = 0.05 x 3500 x 12 + 75100 = 77200

mean OT = approx $12800/year ? mean you OT about 30-40hours/mth at a rate of $29-30/hr after office hour on weekday or Sat

or $50-60/hr on sunday & public holiday??

Only LAE so far are paid OT at this rate, >>you are LAE??(base on the low basic 3.5k after 7 years?? + high allowance + alot OT pay)

otherwise the rest are paid only meal allowance of $5-10 per 2hrs OT each day or $10/hr OT capped at $400 max per mth!!!



For your info: my company is pay 3.4-3.5k 1st class fresh grad in 2011/2012 already...why you only 3.5k after 7 years???!?!

Engineering is one of the hardest degree to get, but yet the least respected unless you manage to beat the rest of the creme of the crop and be the top 5-10% which will enable u to land a job in the O&G industry. Why not go for business, finance, acct which has a lower admission criteria and you can get first class easily. My JC classmates studied business and arts in NUS was in the dean's list for 4 straight years and both of them working for EM now.
