As a rough guide a 2nd year associate level front office salesperson takes home SGD 200k annually ex bonus.

@Garlickbred,
You're joking right? Where did you get that number? Care to explain?

Thanks Garlicb for your data.

Really appreciate other data points too..Howie, whats the more likely figure as per your knowledge ?

Once again, thanks for your replies.

well, you haven't told us all the details about your background and years of experience; so I can't throw out any numbers really.
However, a 2nd-year associate level taking home 200K SGD (roughly $150K) excluding bonus is a huge joke if you ask me.

I would suggest you to go to payscale.com to get the figure if you want a quality answer.

I was taking home the said number as a 2nd yr assoc. I was at the time in FO deriv sales at a large American Bank/brokerage. If you mean I was getting lowballed at the time, that's a possibility.
