Depending on what's your job scope. But for 10yrs of experience, i think you're underpaid.

Just a guide, I'm a sysadmin with 7yrs of experience earning 85k (excluding standby allowance).

Thanks for your feedback. I feel very demoralised.

My job scope covers the role of an IT manager, e.g. manager IT expenditure, system administration, project management, etc.

I intend to do a career switch to finance/accounting.

Don't be demoralised. Just apply for IT manager job and ask for at least 8k.

Thanks everybody.
I will try my luck.

I pretty amazed at all your starting pay as i've just finished my NS with a local diploma and was offer $2100 starting pay as an IT executive and my friends told me i'm lucky as most are only getting $1800 tops.

You are instead one of the luckier ones bro.
$2100 is quite good for a start...most of the times the companies and HR lowball IT pay
