Manager $6000/mth, reasonable?

[Axela72]

He himself is a FT.. Singapore PR

 

In the past, FT is really a talent. They are mostly make up of caucasian or Japanese that was posted to Singapore to lead their branch office/factory here.

 

Nowaday, every Dick, Tom and Harry can be FT easily. As long as they got paper they can apply PR status like a piece of cake. They should not entitle the title of FT as they are competiting with our non high class level local folk for equivalent job here.

 

Just like how the past COE is established. Bigger CC car produce more contamination than lower CC car. With the improvement of technology, is this the case now?

 

Just like how the eligibility of purchasing HDB. last time 8k is the cap because our basic salary is lower. Now basic salary is higher, if it is not due to this election, it will still remain as 8k cap.

Sounds reasonable if you have good skillsets and track record.

Sometimes it's just luck.

Actually, 6k for 12yrs exp not considered high. In some industries, that's entry grade pay.

Sadly another colonial mindset. Does it mean that those who built the Great wall of China or Taj Mahal or Ankorwat temple are caucasian or japanese? Why you always think caucasians are superior than your own race? I have seen several ang mos who are not fit for the position but in the position just because they are here to lead their branch or factory. The salaries came down because you manage to get people for lower pay which you used to pay sky and moon if the same thing was done by caucasian.

That's true, especially for the Japanese.

[Tom_kkh]

That's true, especially for the Japanese.

 

 

that u r wrong.

 

It is considered a promotion when a japanese works oversea.

 

most japanese will cry when posted back to their home country

[Chemmie78]

what is your last drawn salary and position?

i think it is not because of your expected salary. it's just that you are not selected, that's all.

 

from my understanding, based on your experience and requested of manager post, 6k is definitely too low.

maybe you want to mark up your expected salary to gain your value.

but first thing first, we need to know your last drawn salary for matching purpose.

 

good luck!

i don't think going for business trip is directly pointing that you are good or not.

you are the best fit to go, you go.

that's how i see it.

then got to depend on how "long" you can tahan without $$$.

mid 30s and jobless is very dangerous.

my opinion for your peers is to get a job regardless of salary, gain some experience and move on with life.

[Tigershark1976]

in some industry, a manager with Business Deg from Local u with around 10 yrs experience only fetching 4k to 5k only... but of course, some industry is paying more than double... for a manufacturing industry, i think 6K is a bit high for a Dip holder with 12yrs experience..
