How does one make >6k salary in Singapore?

Some context, when talking to friends and online people alike, it seems that its very common for a lot of people to be earning 6-8k SGD a month, and it seems like anything lower than 4k is seen as abnormal and low? Is this really the case?

Currently, Im working in sales (more like account management, contracted sales, not out hunting commission based) and after working for 5 years (total) I’m making 4.2k as an assistant sales manager.

Now I’ve just finished my bachelors in business and I was wondering what would a viable career move would be, to move into that income range? What kind of jobs would be relevant for me with a business degree? Is 4.2k considered low for a 29 year old?

Also, would an MBA be worth it to get? I have very little commitments in the way of family and kids etc, and have the financial means to get one.

Would love some career advice from laojiaos and peers alike.

Cheers!

1. This question is very industry and job specific. Hard to compare sia.
2. here all software engineers working in tech firms and banks, so they say 4k is low.
3. Firstly, understand there’s inherently bias in your data. Those who earn less might not share their salary as willingly.
   But yeah like what others have said, you gotta job hop. Some friends also changed industries and did a career switch which boosted their salary. Gotta get out of your comfort zone sometimes.
4. Move into enterprise sales. If you have 5+ years experience selling software to large companies you’ll be in $14k base plus commission (which should be the same as your base if you hit targets).
   $4.2k is perfectly fine as a 29 years old. You gotta understand that most people will only hit their peak earning capacity in their 40s, so you have a long way to grow your salary.

My first thought when I see a ah lian with tattoos is, “Wow, she’s really different from all the other girls out there.” I know that tattoos can be a divisive topic, with some people thinking that they’re trashy and others thinking that they’re cool, but for me, I like it when a girl has tattoos. I think it’s sexy, and it turns me on.

I think that tattoos can say a lot about a person. First, they’re a way to show off your personality and your interests. If you have a tattoo of your favourite band, it shows people that you’re passionate about music. If you have a tattoo of a specific symbol, it could mean that you have a deep connection to a certain culture or tradition. I think that all of these things can be attractive to someone like me, because I’m always looking for a girl who is interesting and unique.

Tattoos can also show that a girl is comfortable with her body, which is something else that I find attractive. It takes a lot of confidence to get a tattoo, and when I see a girl who has tattoos, it shows me that she’s not afraid to express herself. She’s not afraid to show the world who she is, and I think that’s incredibly sexy.

Of course, I understand that not everyone is comfortable with tattoos. Some people might think that tattoos are trashy or inappropriate, and I respect that opinion. But for me, I think that tattoos can be beautiful and meaningful. I think that they can be a great way to express yourself, and they can make you look even more attractive.

Finally, I think that tattoos can be a great way to start a conversation. When I see a girl with tattoos, it’s like a blank canvas. I can immediately start asking her questions about her tattoos and what they mean to her. It can be a great way to get to know someone and to find out more about them.

All in all, I think that tattoos can be incredibly attractive on a girl. I think that they can show confidence, personality, and a unique style, and they can make a girl even more attractive. So if you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, I say go for it. It might just turn me on.

TATTOO AH LIAN’S ARE THE BEST! (as long they don’t come with baggage typical pub single moms can liao)

walked out of a date lol, nothing more unattractive than a guy or gal who treats staff like shit…seriously??

im in a restaurant with a guy and we’re hitting it off, his food comes and mines not there yet but thats typical in sushi places since some stuff is faster to make than others.

he somehow gets offended that his food came out before mine and he was making a big scene (maybe to get points with me or something?? idk but it was embarrassing and i wish he wouldnt)

i told him to cool it and it wasnt a big deal after the waitress left and that id like to just continue talking since i didnt want the day to be ruined over him acting like a child lol

he said he would but the waitress was acting like “a real b-” and he wasnt sorry he “defended my honour” ???????

naaaah. i left. she was doing her job, he was an ass.

• “M’Lady, your honor mustn’t be desecrated by these lowly servant scum!”
• His mentality is so outdated. Defending honor sounds stupid as shit. Glad you didn’t invest any more your time with people like that.
• Even in “normal” restaurants, some food takes longer than others to come out of the kitchen and be brought to the table. That’s how food works.
• Was it his time of the month? Steroids? I’d hate to see what happens if they get his order wrong or something.
• How someone treats wait staff is how they will eventually treat you once they get comfortable with you. If a man can be polite even when he’s frustrated or offended, that demonstrates emotional maturity and that he will be respectful of you no matter what. You made the right decision.

 I never thought I’d be working as a prostitute, but life had a funny way of throwing curveballs my way.

As a single mother of two, I had to make ends meet and provide for my family. I was struggling financially and had no other options available. That’s when I decided to take the plunge and become a prostitute.

It was a hard decision to make, but I was determined to make it work. I had heard stories of other girls my age making a decent living working as a prostitute, so I figured I could too. I was wrong.

My first few clients were difficult to please, and I was lucky to make enough money to cover my expenses. I was living a dangerous lifestyle, constantly on the lookout for clients and always on the move.

One night I was working in a hotel when I ran into my uncle. I was shocked to see him there and he was even more shocked to see me. He had no idea what I was doing there, and I was too embarrassed to tell him. I quickly made up an excuse and ran away.

That night changed my life. I realized that I could no longer continue living the way I was. I knew I had to make a change, so I decided to quit my job as a prostitute and try to find a more legitimate way to make a living.

I started my own small business as a freelance writer and found success quickly. I was able to make enough money to support my family and get a small apartment. I also started attending part time uni classes and working towards a degree in business.

My life has changed drastically since I quit my job as a prostitute. I now have a stable income and a promising future. I’m grateful for the second chance I was given and I’m determined to make the most of it. I’m no longer living a dangerous lifestyle and I’m proud of my accomplishments.

My story is proof that even in the darkest of times, there is still hope. I’m living proof that you can turn your life around and make something of yourself, no matter what your circumstances may be. So no matter how hard life gets, never give up. There’s always a way to make things better.

I’ve been working in the IT department of my company for a little over two years now, and I was recently tasked with a rather unfortunate situation.

I was working late one night, when I noticed that one of the elderly staff members was using the office computer to watch adult films. It was quite a shock, as this particular individual had been with the company for many years and seemed to be a model employee.

It was a difficult situation to handle, as the individual in question was not a young person and had been with the company for a long time. I didn’t want to be too hard on the person, but I couldn’t just ignore the situation. After much deliberation, I decided to issue the staff member a warning letter.

In the warning letter, I outlined the company’s policy regarding the inappropriate use of office computers and warned the employee that any further violations would result in disciplinary action. I also explained that the company takes its policies seriously and that this warning should be seen as a serious matter.

The employee was naturally contrite and apologetic, and he seemed to understand the severity of the situation. He was also very understanding about the warning letter, which was a relief.

After the incident, I took the time to review our company’s policies and procedures and to ensure that they are up to date and that everyone is aware of them. I also conducted some training sessions with the staff to make sure they understand how to use the office computers responsibly and that they are aware of the consequences of inappropriate use.

I’m grateful that the incident with the elderly staff member was able to be resolved without any major issue. It was a difficult situation to handle, but I’m glad that I was able to do it in a way that respected the employee’s long service to the company.

I’m also relieved that the warning letter served as a reminder to all staff to use the office computers responsibly, and that our company policies are now being followed properly.

I was minding my own business, sitting in my cubicle, working on a project when I got the news. The manager of the floor had caught a co-worker sleeping in the bathroom for four hours. I was shocked. How could someone do something like that?

I had seen the guy around the office a few times. He wasn’t a part of any team, and he seemed to keep to himself. I had never interacted with him, so I didn’t know much about him. I had heard that he was an intern, but I wasn’t sure if that was true.

When I heard the news, I assumed that the guy had been fired. That seemed like the logical thing to do. But then, I heard that he had been given a second chance. My manager had decided to give him a second chance and let him keep his job.

At first, I was surprised by this decision. It seemed like a strange thing to do. But then I thought about it, and I realized that it made sense. We all make mistakes, and sometimes we deserve a second chance.

The next day, I was in the break room when I saw the guy. He was talking to another co-worker and seemed to be in a good mood. I couldn’t help but be curious, so I asked him what had happened.

He told me that he had been stuck in the bathroom for four hours. He had gone in to take a nap, and the door had locked behind him. He was unable to get out, so he ended up sleeping there for four hours.

He said that he felt embarrassed and ashamed when he was caught. He apologized profusely to the manager and was expecting to be fired. But, the manager had decided to be lenient and give him a second chance.

This story made me think about my own job. I had never done anything as bad as what he had done, but I had made mistakes in the past. I had been late to work a few times and had taken too many breaks. But, my manager had been understanding and given me a second chance.

I was grateful for the second chance that I had been given, and I was glad that my co-worker had been given one as well. Everyone makes mistakes, and it’s important to remember that everyone deserves a second chance.

After the story was finished, I said goodbye to my co-worker and went back to my desk. I was feeling inspired by the story, and I was reminded of how lucky I was to have a job. I was also reminded of how important it is to be understanding and forgiving of others.

The next day, I heard that the guy had been fired after all. Apparently, he had been caught sleeping in the bathroom again. My manager had decided that he couldn’t be trusted with his job and had decided to terminate his employment.

I was disappointed to hear the news, but I didn’t feel surprised. Everyone deserves a second chance, but sometimes people don’t take advantage of them. I was sad that the guy had been given a second chance but hadn’t taken it seriously.

The experience taught me a valuable lesson. Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone deserves a second chance. But, it’s important to make sure that you take that second chance seriously and make the most of it.

I was on the bus, minding my own business, listening to some music when I heard a loud ‘ah ah’ sound.

At first, I thought it was coming from someone outside the bus, but then I saw a man sitting in front of me, his head down and his phone in hand.

It didn’t take me long to realize that the sound was coming from his phone. He was watching adult videos on the bus, and not only that, he had forgotten to turn the volume down.

The sound of the ‘ah ah’ was so loud that it was impossible not to notice it. A few people around him had already noticed and were giving him strange looks.

I was kind of embarrassed for him, and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. I mean, who forgets to turn the volume down when they’re watching adult videos on the bus?

The man must have realized what he had done because he quickly put his phone away and tried to act like nothing had happened.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Everyone around him was already looking at him with disdain. The situation was so awkward and uncomfortable that he probably wanted to crawl under the seat and disappear.

He must have been so embarrassed and ashamed of himself. I could see it in his face. He looked so embarrassed that I almost felt like I should say something to him. I didn’t, though. I mean, what could I have said?

The incident lasted for only a few minutes, but it felt like an eternity. The bus was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Eventually, the bus stopped and the man quickly got off. I guess he wanted to get away from all the stares and judgment.

It was a really strange experience, but it was also a good reminder for me to always be aware of my surroundings.

We may think that we’re alone and no one is watching, but you never know who’s around you. It’s important to always be mindful of your actions, especially in public.

It’s also a good reminder to always make sure your phone is on silent or vibrate when you’re in public or at least make sure your earpieces/earbuds are connected properly.

You never know when something like this could happen, and it’s always best to be prepared.

You never want to be in a situation like the one I witnessed on the bus.

It all started with a lie. I had been married to my wife for over 10 years, and I had never considered straying from my marriage.

I had always been faithful, and I had never even thought about having an affair.

But, everything changed when I met her one day while in JB for a work trip.

She was beautiful, intelligent and witty. We would meet for lunch or for coffee and it started to become a routine.

I knew that I was crossing a line, but I could not help myself. I was drawn to her, and the more time I spent with her, the more I wanted to be with her.

I knew I was playing with fire, and I knew that I had to keep this relationship a secret.

I could not let my wife find out, so I made the decision to house my mistress at a condo in Johor Bahru that was owned by my wife.

This way, I could keep my mistress hidden away and I could visit her whenever I wanted without my wife finding out.

The condo was perfect for our meetings. It was close enough to my home that I could still commute easily, but it was far enough away that no one would suspect that I was seeing someone else.

At first, everything went according to plan. I would meet my mistress at the condo periodically, and we would spend time together without anyone ever knowing our secret.

I thought I had it all figured out, but then my wife started to get suspicious.

She had noticed that I was spending more and more time away from home, and she started to ask questions.

I tried to deflect her questions as best as I could, but I could tell that she was starting to become suspicious.

Finally, she decided to follow me one day on the sly and she discovered my secret.

She was devastated when she saw me go into the condo with my mistress greeting me and she immediately kicked me and my mistress out of the condo.

I was embarrassed and ashamed of what I had done, but I could not deny the fact that I was still in love with my mistress.

My wife and I went through a divorce eventually with the condition that I buy over the condo from her as she did not want to own a place where I have been conducting all my ‘misconducts’ at.

Till date, I have been using the same condo for my ‘adventures’ and it had sort of became my ‘love nest’.
