I'm a double Master Degree holder on DP, working for 8 months with one of Singapore biggest advertising agencies as Marketing Executive. This is my first full time job (I have 1 yr of part time experience). Thing is, they only pay me 2 000 SGD, and when I asked for a salary rise they almost threw a fit over it, and told me that maybe during annual review I will (or not) get 5% rise.
My job requires unlimited working hours (including weekends), and constant work after hours (reading, researching, I am expected to do that outside working hours). Am I really that crazy to think I am getting slightly ripped off? Or should I fall flat on my face and thank the Lord I am getting even this much?
I know my colleagues who are locals earn at least 50% more than I do (company policy is not to share salary information, but they all have pretty loud mouths <_<). Am I getting punished for having a husband (hence my employer assuming he earns buckets of cash)? Or is it because I am an Ang Mo blamed for stealing away work from locals?
