22 years old here.. What is a decent starting salary to quote? Is $4k too high or too little? I know a few friends who are getting between $3k to $4k, and I want to aim high. At the same time, my older relatives and seniors tell me that their starting salary used to be $2k. How guys, what should I put as my expected? Every dollar counts!!

Fresh grad with no experience CANNOT demand salary bcz it's unfair for those who've worked longer here. Besides, 1st job is a learning process. After 1 year later, SURELY we'll increase your salary -- what HR told me. After 1 year, NOTHING! I tendered, find another job. Boss asked why i want to resign? I said salary too low. He asked how much you want? I said 20% more. He said CANNOT. too high. Other company also won't give. But i proved him wrong. Secured a job with 30% increment & left 😎

Can a fresh grad with no experience negotiate salary? Would I come off as greedy or too demanding? 22M, graduated with a diploma. Just got a job offer where they’re offering $2k/month for a 6-month 'trial' period, with a promise of an increment if my performance exceeds their expectation. How do I nego for more (because it's too little TBH) or explore other options to increase the salary package? Also, i wonder if HR is gatekeeping the salary. Are they doing this to me bcz I don't hv a degree?

Seeking your POV & advice! How has the starting salary for fresh graduates changed over the past 10 years? Do you think what fresh grads earn now are consistent with the rising cost of living?

Cybersecurity jobs are in HIGH demand. Saw one report say that there will be 3.5 million unfilled positions in 2025 globally. Does anyone know what is the average salary for a cybersecurity analyst in Singapore?

I was complaining about how little salary I got offered as a poly fresh grad @ $2.2k and someone said, then just go and become a bus driver lah! Can earn $3k what. I felt instantly annoyed. 😑Nothing against d job but who would've studied up to diploma & go for bus captain as their 1st job? Obviously, i'm looking to climb up the career ladder and eventually earn more in the future?? People say I'm choosy but I only wanted to start off with good salary. Is it too much that I asked for $3.5k?

HR played me so I played them back! Asked for $5.5k salary, matching the range $4-6k on their job ads. Successfully scored the interview & they're willing to pay my price BUT after seeing my payslip, they lowball me with $4.8k max. I pretended to be REALLY interested, so they excitedly sent over the offer letter thinking I'm down for their s*itty salary then proceeded to decline after 2 weeks saying the amount is too low for my level. Got ghosted afterwards but it's worth it 😎

Every Asian parent wants their kid to become a doctor. But anyone knows how much do doctors in private sectors ACTUALLY earn and how long does it take for them to earn that amount?
