Ok lar.. nothing much to be joyful about.. My friends who studied higher also got the same pay mah.. I am just being lucky.. Hopefully, will have pay increment in June..

dun make me u!!

say nothing to be joyful then still say ur fren higher qual oso same pay!

degree useless one.. is like a baseline there.. ppl wants local grad.. honours somemore.. still got quite a no. of companies whereby they dont accept pte degrees..

frankly speaking hor... dun me

some of my colleagues took pte deg courses, grad within 1.5 years PART TIME studies

but us who took local uni, took 4 years FULL TIME studies

i find it not fair if still get the same recognition...

Wah lao.. The way it sounds.. Ma chiam being a recept is very glam sia.. But seriously, everyone in the company is doing the same things over the years.. The only thing that is changing is the pay..

Last year in Feb, there is a Manager-level lady who is doing exactly the same thing as what I am doing now.. But her pay is like 6k plus.. Just becoz she worked some time in the company liao..

For me, I don't mind doing the smae old things over a long period of time.. Coz I am afraid of changes.. As long as I am paid well, then ok lor..

Ya lor.. I also used to have this kind of concept.. Coz banks managed to let ppl feel that it is glamorous to be part of the banking industry..

SIM also degree leh.. Still a paper to be proud of..

Btw, you are a banker right?

You see, your company at least can see the pay jump....banks hor, i tell you, if you depend on their yearly measly increment per year, you will die man....starting pay high...but increment kanasai....

No lah i not banker....and I dun understand how come ppl so proud to call themselves banker.....they don't own the bank what.....how can call banker?!?

i feel we should not use the period to determine.. local uni courses involves other external modules, thats y took 4 yrs.. for pte deg courses, only involves the core modules thats why shorter.. somemore those who took pte deg, are mostly poly grad.. sure will get exemptions, thats why shorter mah..

arent we pte degree holders also had hard time getting our degrees? juggle with work and studies at the same time..

Ya.. The only thing that I can consoled myself is that, at least I can see my pay increasing slowly..Starting pay high is better than those start pay low, increment also low jobs leh..

Banker is the job title right? Not they wanna call themselves that.. But coz it's the rightful title isn't it?

What are you doing for your job? I mean, other than RT...

I agreed with you!!! That's why I left the hole that you are leaving soon... The increment really pathetic one..

What you said also made sense too.. I guess, different people got different views from the different stands they are standing on... No hard core right or wrong..

Xinyi, you also took up private degree? In which course?
