You're 3.5 years late with your words of wisdom. Troll?

There are 2 groups of people in oil and gas that I find make generous salaries. First is the traders, who generate huge profits for the companies and see some of that back in their bonus. Mid to high 6 figures p.a. is common. Second group is the blue collar refinery workers, who get various OT and allowances that pay them well despite relatively low educational qualifications (eg. degrees not necessary).

Based on sector average, agree that O&G pays very well. Finance and banking professionals also earn good wages, but really depends on your seniority and skillset. Retail banking for example isn't so lucrative.

Unregistered Every industry will have a few positions pay very high and the others lower. I think if you count overall by average oil & gas should have the highest propotion of high payers & genrally pay highest for all positions.

Banking is just a few usual investment position pay high, the rest is average or above average.

I agree. Both my brothers are pilots, 1 with SIA Cargo and another with SIA passenger.

If you are a senior pilot, then yes $20k/month possible. but to earn that amount you already have 1 foot in the grave.

A mid 30's commercial airline pilot will earn $280k/year including bonuses.

Same commercial pilot in 50's will be getting $420k/year including bonuses.

Nowhere near high 6 figure salary.

Hedge fund managers, private equity financial consultants, oil traders, oil brokers, are all in the high 6 / low 7 club.

RSAF and Airline pilots also rack in 5 figures salaries as well. With their company bonuses, They bring home high 6 figures annual packages as well.

Unregistered tertiary acad staff (in mid 40s) should have no problem hitting $150kpa (all in). Not say excellent, but not too bad.
