Title: Let's talk about your career
Post by: default on Sep 17, 2024, 09:45 PM
Where are you now compared to your peers?

me now low level....... if say when u start out at 1... my peers are at 5 and above. say level 10 is like highest level lah. maybe in private

CEO, CFO all these are considered level 10

9 is like deputy CEO etc. maybe this is cluster superintendent etc

8 is maybe VP? depends on the company. can be like general manager. if school is principal

7 is HOD (for private company) or vice principal if a school teacher route (or director in govt)

6 is maybe HOD or vice HOD for schools. or 6.5 is like deputy director

me currently maybe at 3 or 4 max. i think max i can reach is 5.

actually how much minimal salary do u think will be comfortable for you?

or for your family or what?

as in can buy most or all of u want (depends on your expenditure, like maybe holidays twice per yr to far countries, or collecting toys, or buying 2 luxury watches)

i think for a lone person right, if got 10k-12k per mth (before CPF), can do many things liao. not talking about whole year package. we talk about monthly

bonuses are out of this consideration

i think minimally if say family with 2 kids. 12k total income is the very near bare minimum to get some perks now. probably cant own a car.

15k onwards will be better but maybe at most a bread and butter car? (if need one la). minimum income.

if really talk about scrimp and save, i think hmm......

if no car no house now, then just buy a 3 room. or 4 room. minimum 6k (after cpf). that's quite minimum without any thing else to have 2 kids

the housing prices are so crazy now

if like that really is bare minimum and scrimp and save like mad

Career was going well till early 2000. Then saw many coys retrenching & new coy I joined boss asked me to put up names for each section.
From then on, coy kept on reducing staff till closed factory by damn cek ark CFO without giving payout. Moi left & other MNCs workplaces are so political & filled with many FTs hiring many non sinkies. Career stopped there in MNC & now with long established local coy. Stable decent income & earn enough to retire very comfortably.

Unofficially highest cos my gm retirement mode liao.

Niamah put 1 biz unit above mine, I kana park beneath aneh mba reporting line. Never mind I lun cos my gm retiring soon ho say my turn to be gm liao. Knn mah the rest as u know lah. Aneh bring in another aneh  take over the retired gm position. I lose all motivation liao. Quit within the month.

Even fr 25k a month I bth lun already l by then.
