Damienic 5th Gear February 5, 2009 Share February 5, 2009 Different industry pays differently of cos...I just dun think what I quoted was below the norm... Going back to manager pay, myself with experience of seeing such positions tat go at 100,000-130,000 most of the time with a few exceptions of some being 150,000..I know of people being offered CFO positions with 150,000-200,000 pay per annum and CFO position is abt as senior as a GM in most companies..my fren was also offered a manager equivalent position at GSK and the package is under 100k!

Kongbapao Neutral Newbie February 6, 2009 Share February 6, 2009 I was wondering how you guys manage to know how much your CEOs, GMs and mgrs are drawing. Slept with the payroll execs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kxbc Turbocharged February 6, 2009 Share February 6, 2009 My understanding a little different and higher. Those in US MNCs typically earn more than what you quoted. But that could be due to different industry, different pay. For the larger local co (listed), pay also higher than that. But for the SME (family biz) turned listed, usually pay not that competitive. Gues most of the money still go back to majority shareholder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little_prince Supersonic February 6, 2009 Share February 6, 2009 actually 100k/ annum not a lot lor.. it's only about 6k a month assuming AWS(1month) + VB(2-3month) most ppl around 30-35 should be around there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kxbc Turbocharged February 6, 2009 Share February 6, 2009 Your definition of "normal" may not be normal to those earning less. but then, there is no true "normal" unless one lives in a truly communist state where everyone regardless of race, gender, capability etc lives in the same type of house, have the same food etc. Actually, as long as one is happy without being a pest/nuisance to society, I think that is best. Like you, I also live in a so-called 94m2 pigeon hole. But I am happy already. No urge to go higher and bigger (not that I can afford it, haha) and be very afraid that I can't support the mortgage payments when I lose my job.

Ixat 1st Gear February 6, 2009 Share February 6, 2009 Knowing how much seniors, management earns is good Something to look forward to and strive for. Know how much the guy who is beside you and doing lesser than you earns is not a good choice. For all you know he could be double your salary.

It depends on which industry. What you say is true if you are referring to certain oil & gas/offshore marine/financial sectors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strife Neutral Newbie February 6, 2009 Share February 6, 2009 I was wondering how you guys manage to know how much your CEOs, GMs and mgrs are drawing. Slept with the payroll execs? Back to this, who actually slept with the payroll execs? How else would one know? I dont think anyone would willing reveal their compensation package. Or rather, do the GMs, CEOs like to tua kang about their pay packages? I definitely do not know what my manager is earning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kongbapao Neutral Newbie February 6, 2009 Share February 6, 2009 What i think is that we have to look at the pay a local CEO/GM/mgr/whatever gets, i feel that those extremely high figures paid to higher management are for expats. Here's why: Our com issues hard copies of payslips every month. Not sealed, just a piece of paper like those MC from doctors. One of my colleagues saw an expat's payslip by accident, and I saw my superior's payslip by accident. We compared. Expat salary = 2 x local. Both are mgrs. I say: what the fark.
