Unregistered | Degree or not isn't the problem. It is the role and your past experience in a SME that's hindering your progress. We normally don't pay well for SME crossovers. But you can prove your worth and move up the pay scale quite quickly if you prove to be capable. | |

Agreed with the posts here. While salary negotiation is a taboo for fresh hires or industry jumps with little prior relevancy, it is commonplace if you’re maneuvering around the same career trajectory. No you will not irk the other party off, it’s purely business. |

If you rather get paid more and give up some annual leave or other benefits, that could be something you can negotiate for. You can speak openly with the company to take a lower number of annual leave or other benefits, in exchange for higher annual salary. Apart from that, the key with any salary negotiation is to put together a compelling case to the employer of why you deserve the salary you are negotiating for. If an employer is deciding between you and another candidate - why should you be paid $x more? You'll need to justify the incremental salary with relevant work experiences you may have, skills you have developed that's directly applicable in the role, a compelling portfolio, or what you can tangibly contribute. One tip is that you can look at the company's goals and business problem, and put together a proposal or action plan on what you will implement if you are hired. For other jobseekers dealing with how to share expected their expected salary during the interview process .. |

Unregistered | Is it okay if the salary bump is smaller but they replace it with things like more annual leave and other benefit? | |

When switching jobs, 20% salary bump is normal... otherwise why waste your time? Keep looking until you find another suitable job that will give you at least some increment before you move. |

I started with 2.3k in end 2009. Now earning 10k basic with a junior-mid management role in a overseas MNC. Of course, cannot be compared to the finance sector. Doing just fine. |

[QUOTE=di3hard;127077]degree holder in engineering. Worth it to jump ship for 0% increment? But the current company really not worth staying as no progression. 2015-2017 - Project engineer in Construction (ACMV) - Local SME (50 employee) Starting 2.9k, Leave 3.8k 2018-2019 - Sales Engineer (ACMV Equipment) - Local SME (10 employee) Starting 4.2k, now 4.5k (not many employer benefits) 2020 - Bidding Engineer (Building Automation) - German MNC Offer me 4.5k[/QUOTE Normally MNC has better benefits and better bonus, so should calculate in terms of annual remuneration package instead of monthly basic. Secondly, having a MNC experience will help in your CV to look for other jobs in the future especially for engineering. I started off as engineer at SME 10 years ago and joined MNC after around 2 years with very minimal increment 9%. Thereafter, have a few job changes working for local, overseas MNC with better career prospect. |

Could be worth it if you see better career progression in your new company. SMEs are generally not worth joining in the first place, which is why they mostly hire foreigners. |
