I once had a chance to change to a job that pays 2.5 times than what I was making then but demanding minimum 12 hours, average 14 hours work per day, as compared to my then job that requires 2-3 hours actual work per day(but I still have to stay in office 8 hours per day). in the end I didn't take it because the flexible working hours I had then is important to my family with 2 young kids. But for a fresh graduates w/o much family attachment obviously the more demanding job that pays also lubrative is a much better choice. |

I believe large salaries ranging 100k to 200k p.a. is possible in engineering, in areas that have allowances, such as offshore allowance, overtime, overseas-based allowance, etc. But such jobs normally need to chiong a lot with long working hours or away from home, and as some have mentioned, quite detrimental to family life. No point being a success in career, but failure in private life, IMHO. Perhaps we should be looking at 'pay per working hour (actual hours spent at work)' to get a better idea of what pays well! |

I smell horseshit in this, fresh grad starting pay $3000 - In order to reach 300 k PA your monthly salary should be around 20k minimum + 3 month bonus(Incd AWS) will get you exactly 300K. Use a compound interest calculator u need around 21% increment yearly for 10 straight years to reach 20k/mth. In order to get 20 percent increment, you need to get promoted every single year. In fact if you can get 10 percent yearly increment, you are a superstar already in engineering. Fresh grads nowadays very smart, pls dont con them LoL Quote:

Thanks for the tips. Personally I would prefer to try procurement/tender or biz development related position. Does that bring nice pay too? Yea, I do agree technical skill is important to survive in such company.haha Quote:

I'm not a mech engine grad, but I'm from one of the big O&G MNCs and have colleagues who are from mech engine background. to reach 200kpa including bonuses in 10 years is definitely possible. I read someone say that it's not possible even if you are A+ performer. This is so NOT true. An A+ performer for 10 years will get you to 300kpa at the place I work. Also, if you want to do well in a technical company, you better have technical experiences to back you up (unless you are in department such as procurement, HR, finance etc). You will often be surprised that people in the commercial department sometimes also come with technical background. |
