Unregistered see in absolute dollars form instead of %

$500 increment on base S$3-4k compared to S$6k. the percentage is different.

also look at which stage of career you at, just promoted or stuck there very long...

I even get to manage uni people. After graduating from uni, when I went for interviews, all the interviewers are saying that's before university, so it doesn't count.

Which pisses me off somewhat to discount it away so quickly
hahaha.. Maybe Singapore has a systematic way of underpaying engineers.

From my colleagues in San Jose, it is way better for SE to move into States with H1B1(Singapore got a lot of quotas left)

Am I?????

No. My friend joined a US MNC on a 1 year Junior IT BA contract after graduation. Confirmed as IT BA near the 1 year mark. Work Location Singapore.

Not sure if I should name the company as she occasionally visits this site from what I know (a few times a year maybe?). But it's not an IT company nor a bank.

That kind of sparked this question on what companies are known for low or high salary increment (as well as initial pay)
Local GLC stock $3.7

annual increment 2.5 - 3.5 % for C/C+ grader, base on 3500 as basic, shall be $87.5 - $122.5.


A ~ 5%

do the math your self
