Are you okay to stay underpaid (according to benchmarks) for a few years to clock up experience?

[Lchlch]

I got a massive pay cut last Dec 2020.
Holy cow, struggle , n mental stress.

 

[xiao.xin]

This one is a hit and miss la, you at new industry, if picks off then you huat lo. Don't pick off you will tio low ball and need quite awhile to catch up.

 

[Weaboo]

that was me last yr

then this yr they adjust up

now i am overpaid

 

[Lchlch]

According to TS thread title, if a person has no family commitment, earn n spend alone, yes, I agreed with it.
Learn as much as possible.
Experience cannot be bought overnight

 

[Lchlch]

actually i realised.

dont disclose salary. if you give. not necessarily they offer you a position
but will definitely use it as a reason to cut your pay. just act like you dont care. thing is when you're desperate, it brings advantage for the HR to cut you.

Usually they will ask for your last 3 month pay slip.

first two years after grad still can.

thereafter, ur basic monthly will increasingly be proxy of your capabilities, ie if your salary too laughably low, big companies will treat your CV as CSB.

once beyond 5 years of work experience, the above point will be very solidified

 

[qhong61]

Yes

If you are given alot of opportunities and responsibilities in a new industry compare to working in FAANG or Banks (like JPM / SCB / DBS)

Yes

 

[Thoreldan]

Please don't, once underpaid hard to get back to market rate. SG HR folks are pretty much myopic in this aspect and will try to squeeze dry a candidate when it comes to offering.

Just like when a stock dropped 50%,it need to climb 100% just to be back to same price.

If not comfortable, just don't say. if over declared tio discovered, you could lose your new job due to integrity issue.

 

[Shion]

deliberately suppressing your own salary just to get a job

[razorlala]

i replied to your comment with knowing your worth, you quoted me. so what does your reply while quoting me that has something to do with knowing your worth?

If you want to reply to the topic of this thread as according to what you posted then don’t quote me.

I commented in ts thread about being underpaid for 2yrs,asking if he prefer to be jobless 2yrs instead.

You replied to my comment to jjww about self-worth as if i asked you anything about that.

So i ask u back. You reply wrong person issit?

 

[Ahdaii]

If over declare your salary will they know?

you nv disclose. how to over declare?

because if you disclose they sure say. because previously you got a pay raise blah blah blah...

you tell them. until the offer letter comes then you hand over your payslip... 一手交錢，一手交貨。
