Just an ordinary peasant with an average engineering degree from NUS. Am doing considerably better than my peers who become engineers, and probably on par with those who are teaching. But compared to teachers, I think there is more room for salary increment at my side. Should have the potential to tip 11K by mid to late 40s at my current rate.
Realistically, I am nowhere near doctors, lawyers and bankers but the money i am drawing is sufficient to lead a comfortable life - staying in a well-renovated HDB flat, driving a sedan and raising a small family.

mid year 0.5 months
end year 1 + 0.8 months
pb take as 2.5 months (lower end)

total months salary = 12 + 4.8 = 16.8 months

monthly salary = 7,142

Not bad for farmer. 7k at 33 is pretty attainable if you are in the right ministry. Some places pay more than others for the same grade. How is the increment? If able to get $250/year, my friend will be at 7k by age 33.

I am the poster of the original post. If one looks at the breakdown of 120K, it is very much achievable and realistic. Nothing to shout about.

Are you 34 in 2015? Ns?

If you started in CS right after grad, then 7k is attainable at 34 for non-scholar. 7k per month works out to be 120k plus annually.

Hi all, i'm a female fresh grad from ntu with first class honours.

MSF quoted 3.4k as starting salary. Is that standard? Can i negotiate?

Otherwise i also received an offer from a special education school but salary quoted was 3.2k. I prefer the special education job, but i'm trying to save for my Masters program, so thought that it will be better to earn more for now.

What do you all seniors think? Is a 3.4k salary acceptable?

I think there is no room for negotiation as you are a fresh grad. What they are offering you is based on your academic qualifications.

not negotiable. salary is fixed for all fresh graduate depending on ministry/sb, with NS or not, and class of hons.
