I wonder how is job market for local grad now...

my fren jus grad from Ngee ann mass comm, working with an advertising firm - 1.2KOriginally posted by dragg:who is lying?
for those with a bit of experience salary can really vary.
but for grads?
even poly grads at 1k is ridiculous, let alone uni-grads.
i know the market is bad, but THAT BAD???

yes,,, if you join mckinsey, fresh grad 4-5k is possible.. but how many positions .. only 1 or 2 every year.

me not very sure... even saachi pays 1.2k for dip holders...Originally posted by dragg:what is the market rate? 1.3k right? -
I have been in the position of the employer before. Put it this way, why do I want to pay $2k-$2.5k for a fresh local grad when a foreign worker who can do the same job is asking for $1.8k?Originally posted by charlize:So i take it that the average pay for a fresh grad should be around $2K to $2.5K?
If that's the case, why do we hear so much about grads not finding jobs or getting $1K for salary?
Which group is lying?

I am so proud of our teachers!Originally posted by Vel Vel:when u guys talk abt grads, do u mean poly grad or uni grad?
i have been going for a few interviews recently, pays uni grads around 2k. but all say expected to work till very late.
now i am considering betwen NIE or private sectors.
Teacher in training oso have 2k leh. after graduating from NIE, can get at least 2.4k.
but teachers nowsdays stressed or not?
Why?
Because they are taking less salary in 2005 than in 1994!
teacher starting salary:
1994: $1,883
2005: $2,400
Annualised increase per year: 2.2%
Annual inflation rate: -3%
Net of inflation: -0.8%
Employer CPF rate drop from 20% to current 13%: -7%
Net of inflation and Employer CPF: -7.8%
Saving of -7.8% for MOE! I am SO SO SO PROUD! Lets start a petition to increase our education minister pay for a job well done! -
