SINGAPORE: One Singaporean whose dream is to earn a five-figure monthly salary recently took to Reddit to ask whether “hitting S$10k/month salary is out of reach.”
Sharing his career journey, the young man revealed that he studied marketing at one of Singapore’s “Big Three” universities, a decision he now looks back on with more than a little regret.
“Horrible choice, I really regret it and I recently transitioned into public sector,” he wrote, adding that he now earns S$5,000 a month in a completely different role.
While he said he was grateful to have made the career switch, he admitted that doubling his salary to S$10,000 feels almost impossible.
Seeking perspectives, he asked, “What age did you guys hit S$10k/month? It would be good if you could answer: what kind of job you have, private/public sector, how many years of experience you have, your starting pay and what university you graduated from (if it still matters in this day and age…)”
