Some of you are earning crazy high salaries in SG and honestly, I’m so curious!! How did you even get there?? 😩 Is it the degree? The industry? Your connections?? Or did you study overseas? I’ve been working here for years and still feel stuck at the same salary range. I wanna know what kind of qualifications or experience actually make a difference here. Or is it really just about being at the right place at the right time? Teach me your ways boss!

Feel like there isn't enough discussion on negotiating pay at a senior level - it's a whole other ballgame! People imagine you have more leverage at this level but it's not always the case. I’ve been offered a new role, but I’m still unsure on the best way to approach the pay package. Should I prioritse base salary, equity, or other perks like benefits for my family and bonuses? Any other factors I should be aware of? Thanks in advance.

38F, working as a Regional Manager. I’ve been struggling to work with colleagues from other countries... some don’t do their part properly, and every month I end up chasing deadlines. Communication is unclear, and I end up looking bad even though I’m trying my best to fix things. How do you deal with situations like this? I’m thinking of setting up weekly check-ins to align tasks and avoid any miscommunication or missed work.

Being a Regional Manager sounds great, but honestly, it’s tough working with colleagues from other countries who don’t do their part properly. I try to stay patient, but it’s frustrating when deadlines are missed and communication is unclear. Then I end up looking bad even though I’m doing my best to fix things. Is this normal when managing teams across different countries? Or am I expecting too much? How do you deal with this without getting stressed or ruining relationships?

Saw someone from my batch on LinkedIn already a Senior Manager. I’m genuinely happy for him, but really, the imposter syndrome is hitting hard. 😩 It’s like, I’m still figuring out how to reply to simple emails without second-guessing myself but my friends are already up there! I get that everyone’s journey is different, but sometimes it feels like I’m way behind. Anyone else struggling with this? How do you deal with that feeling when others seem to be moving up so much faster?

Reached VP a while ago, but lately, it feels like I've hit a plateau. The growth just isn’t coming like it used to. Anyone else been in this position? How did you push past this and make it to the C-suite? I’m looking for some fresh perspectives on breaking through when things feel stagnant.

I’ve stepped into a senior role at an MNC, and everything feels… massive. More meetings, more processes, and even getting approvals takes forever. The learning curve is steep, and I’m still adjusting. What was the hardest part for you when moving from SME to MNC? How did you adapt without losing that SME agility? Need all the advice I can get!

Age: 30 Industry: Marketing Position: Assistant Manager Salary + Benefits: $7,500/month, w yearly bonuses, health insurance & hybrid Challenges: Recently heard i'm might getting the offer becoming senior manager but now struggling with imposter syndrome. Constantly second-guessing my decisions, even though I have the skills + experience. Colleagues are supportive, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m not truly ready for this managerial role. Anyone else experienced this after a promotion?

I’m earning a decent salary, but honestly, it feels like it’s come at a huge cost. The amount of time I’m spending at work is ridiculous, and there’s barely any time left for myself. LEGIT no Work-life balance. 24hrs for sure i think about work work work and then when I finally get a break, I’m too exhausted to enjoy it. Feel like no point to earn more if this causing me to sacrifice my health and happiness
