Damn, I know of some uni grads who graduated in 2000, 2001 still earning $2.5K up till today. And mind you they are working in engineering and in the banking industry.
Apparently, they started off at a low $2K - $2.2K but wages were frozen during the 2002, 2003 and they only got a increment to about $2.5K plus last year when the economy picked up.
Maybe they might get another increment / promotion to $2.8K - $3K this year but imagine this - working for 5, 6 years and your salary is at $2.8K to $3K.
I am sure some fresh grads could possibly be starting off with $3K now.
Damn, It's all about timing.

Dont get me wrong when i am trying to reply/start this thread. As what i have mentioned, i will like this thread to be a comprehensive guide to the forumers.
Anyway, i do have friends as analysts in MNC earning ~3.5 as a fresh graduate. (e.g. 22 female) Take note thou, they are of second upper or above.
Let me kindly emphaize again, i am not flaunting when i make the following comments, as a diploma holder, i am earning 2700++, i just puzzled, why cant the rest do the same
Do hope someone can shed some lights on this.
