(5 July 2008 – See the 2008 edition of this list.)
(8 August – Updated with ranking of 3rd-quartile gross wages.)
This is the 2007 edition of my annual list of 100 best-paying jobs in Singapore. It is compiled based on data from MOM Occupational Wages Survey, which is published as part of the Report on Wages in Singapore 2006.
The 2006 edition of this post.
The survey covered more than 180,000 individuals, and their wage information is collected from CPF.
But note that the wage data do not include performance bonuses, profit sharing and stock options.
Without further ado, here’s the list of the top 100 jobs based on the 75th-percentile gross basic monthly income (I don’t use the mean or median income as I want my list to better reflect the higher earners in the top jobs):

The differences between gross and basic wages can be noted from the following, which I quote from the report:
The spread between gross and basic wages was more pronounced among occupations which require payments for overtime, commissions and allowances (e.g. shift, food, housing and transport), such as sales & service workers and blue-collar workers where gross wages were about 15% to 40% higher than basic wages. On the other hand, there was little difference between the basic and gross wages among managers and professionals. Their variable pay usually takes the form of performance bonuses, profit sharing and stock options which are not captured in this survey.

hi all, while doing some research for an interview tomorrow, i chanced upon this site. Im 34 years old,have been through hell & back, & then back to hell again. $ is very important in life, its not everything, but especially in spore, it is too important.(contradictory?). My motive is to just say that everyone, just try your best in everything & work hard. If your efforts dont get recognised, you will eventually figure out what needs to be changed. Gradually, things will fall into place.
Whatever it is, always remember to be thankful for what you have. This year, i went downhill again. I lost my job, & my wife left me after having an affair. My son was taken away from my home, which i had to sell off, & still no sales proceeds to enjoy. No income for months, crashed at relatives’ homes. Lost “fake” friends & learnt a lot more about life,..again.
I worked hard & tried to be a good husband, father, employee & a good friend. BUT life has its own plans for everyone.
Im just thankful, I still have positive hopes. I still have my health & some years of “youth”. I worked my way up without much education, from dishwasher to security guard, to waiter,to sales assistant, to sales manager, to learn the ropes to be a good Business Development Manager. And most recently a Senior position. Then, in a flash, all was taken away from me. Now im broke but i have my brains & health still.
So it all can start afresh, no matter who says what. Tomorrow’s interview is for a Managerial Position, possibly just paying $4K, but it huge to me, at this point. From there, I will ensure, I give my all, & im sure I will be recognised again. Truth be told, I will accept a $2K job as a junior executive if they offered me. All I know is they will be lucky to hie me, a capable worker, who will work his butt off, to grow again in this mean world.
When one area gets back on track, the other good things in life will start to fall in place, gradually, hopefully.
Bottomline, i havent given up yet. so neither should anyone else. Good luck those after big paychecks, but remember, $ is not everything…
Hi Last Hope, I share your sentiments deeply.
Hi All, money is not really everything but we should try to meet our basic needs, and some of us may need that extra to feed our ageing parents.
I quitted my 10k.mth job from Shanghai as an Engineer and chose to return Singapore. I was all alone in Shanghai all these while with my wife and children back home. While i thrive on my career in Shanghai, I couldn’t forgive myself for selfishly leaving my family back home.
I decided to return last month and had a huge salary paycut just to be with them. Most of us just need to realise in our life, that certain events will never return if you miss them this round. To me, my family is the most important link in my life.
At the moment, I am pursuing my career in the medical industry related to providing pre-hospital and medical care to patients with terminal illness. Although I know that i will never get the same kind of perks that i used to had in Shanghai, I felt I a different kind of satisfaction in my present career and my family.
If we chooses to look at our pay as a tool to satisfy our materialisitc means, we will be stuck with it and soon to come, you will know, you have lost something else which could be more important to your life.
SRE
“Last hope”, all my best wishes to you. I’m sure with your never give up attitude soon you’ll be at the top again.
Last hope: Feel for you mate. You don’t need insincere and unloving people in your life. Singapore is really a mean place. If I were you, I would probably go overseas if possible and start afresh. Anyway, you’ve got nothing to lose. I recommend Down Under as a good place. (Don’t worry ppl telling you about racism, it’s only like 5% of the time). Be there for ages myself, and I love it. People are always willing to give you a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th chance (Why do you think they take in refugees from Middle East and Vietnam?). Plus there’s a MINIMUM wage. Yes there right, a minimum wage. If you are willing to work hard there, survival is not an issue.
Last hope: Life is so much more than this little Red Dot (actually the dot on the atlas is bigger than the land itself). It’s last hope here, but plentiful of hope elsewhere. The world is SO BIG, why stay in this little congested arena?
Cheers mate, all the best!
Hi guys, thks for the encouragement & kind words. I know thr r still good people around & good things that can overcome all the bad that has happened.
I am now getting ready for my interview. I have been to quite a lot of interviews this year. Believe it or not, sometimes i even make it to the 2nd or even 3rd interviews & end up not getting a job!
Al, thks for the migration advice. Yes, i’ve always thought about migration. In fact my parents are in Texas USA, & i’ve tried there for a while, & actually loved it. And i actually lived in Sydney too for 3years, during my studies. And my siblings are there. They evetually stayed on & are now citizens there. Lovely place, not as fast paced & they are all earning big & stress free, going back at 5pm everyday. (BUT HUGE TAX! haha)..
BUT i also realised Singapore still has its good, so I wont give up yet. Especially since my son is here, & if i dont see him at least once every 2 weeks, i suffer too much inside. So my 5year old son is the main reason, why i’m alive now & still struggling in spore.
ok.I better get ready for my interview now..dont want to be late!
thanks again guys.
Once, i was shortlisted over 300 candidates for a certain position. I was in the final 3 left..but alas, there was only 1 position to be filled & i lost it in the end..oh well..that made me shattered, but hey, thats life..i just tell myself, its ok.
last hope,
good luck! i believe you will make it as long as you still have the fire within.
it is only through such experiences can one learn to be humble and not be overly complacent about one’s current good fortune. riches can come and go, just like that. besides how many of us have really lived the high life to behave like one. sometimes, its really perplexing to see average doe and joe, like you and me, in their little world.
One should have the ‘immigrant mentality’ in order to be able to adapt, survive and thrive in foreign land. The desire for success, determination and hunger for success. Most of all Asian immigrants possessed these qualities and have become successful. Good example are Chinese and Indians migrating to South East Asia, Down Under, Europe and USA. Do, dare and dream.
Hi again guys,
Thanks further for the well-wishes. I had a great interview session. 1stly I was pleasantly surprised that the COO herself called me up. I googled her name & discovered she is a very capable power-career woman. I was so nervous,but within 5mins, she revealed that she was just another friendly human. So I could express myself freely, & it went very well!
She immediately implied that she wanted to recruit me for the managerial position. She was in charge, but for the sake of the selection process, she will wait till end of week, & also when the MD(who’s signing the paycheck) returns from overseas, to meet me to get final confirmation.
I feel really good & very positive. Everyone around me looks beautiful now suddenly. Hopefully I get this job. They are going to be so lucky because i’m bringing with me not just my talent & experience, but great work ethics & total effort on my part.
A bonus is they will pay me much more than I expected!
But even if by some sheer bad luck, the MD doesnt approve of me, i know i will be fine, eventually.
(BUT MY GOD…HOW I WANT THIS JOB SO BAD!!!)well, i hope by this time next week, i will be finally back in the game, moving upwards! The game of life!
last hope, I myself have worst experiences. Getting lower positions, lower pay even from GLCs despite having the right education and with sufficient experiences. There are always people who are much more worst than us so perseverance, never say die attitude and determination will land you your dream job. Always have an exit plan just in case if things don’t work out your way. Good luck.
last hope, I’m actually excited to hear that! 🙂 Please keep us posted, would love to hear that you get that job.
All the best!!!
well, the COO called me as she said she would, asking me to drop by on Monday afternoon. I am the most nervous ever! This is a job which i feel so suited for as well, as for many other reasons. This job wil re-start my new life, but i know I cannot be too hopeful, I also have to prepare for the worst.
I have 3days to prepare myself. Just today alone, I have printed about 20pages to learn about the industry, products & company further.
Now its all about the MD liking me & finding me suitable.
I really need & want this job. This will be for my son, & even my ex, who actually needs more financial support from me. Plus I truly believe I will grow with this company.
Just an update for those who posted their well-wishes. thks guys…
Have an efficient and effective weekend preparing, last hope 🙂
All the best, last hope. 🙂
best!

DP – “Some local university fresh grads earn more than him. What’s there for him to brag aloud???”
What you are saying is Nonsensical and rubbish. Let’s just say by a scratch of our imagination, there are indeed a handful of fresh graduates getting more than me. i.e. BASIC > 12K. The amount in total is just 12K with a couple of bonuses at year end and some petty allowances. Add to that being new in the company, they must work hard and continously proved their worth for at least few months to a year.
Now back to me. My basic is 12K. Add to this my allowance to entertain my clients/accounts/new business is uncapped and unlimited. Add to that I have a $200 phone allowance on my own personal mobile phone + a black berry phone with unlimited access to make calls outgoing + commission which is on average $2K per month with new business + corporate card to entertain my clients + totally flexible working environment here i can choose to lunch for 2 to 3 hours in between if i want to + i can leave office anytime after 4-5 pm if i am tired or if i feel like leaving office.
Compare all this to the new fresh uni grad. I dont feel at all envious. I am born in the year 1981 Dec, so techincally I am stil not even 28 years old or 27 yet.

hi Dude Luv:whats up..
Lets play ur numerology game. 27 dec 1980
…. can’t decide which year u were born???
HI TO EVERYONE! just a little update to those wishing me well..
My Interview with the COO & MD went very well yesterday. BUT they did say they will call me by this week for the news if I get the job or not! I had done all I could, gave my best during the interview, did all research & convinced them my capabilities & experience & most of all my work ethics & enthusiasm.
Well, I just got the call. & I GOT THE JOB!!!!! will sign & start work on Monday! Thank god.. i’m going to cherish the job & opportunity so much. They are going to be so lucky..
well, i am not going to use this “last hope” nick anymore..from now, on, it will be “new hope”..
Just a word to all out there, please cherish what u have in life, it can all go away in a split second.cherish your family, health, & job. remember $ is very important but not the only thing. when things crumble, then it will be too late for regrets.
take care everyone, & thank you for all your well wishes. I have had a rough life, but at 34, i am ready to rebuild it. The good job & pay is going to help me no doubt, but still needs to be supported by hard work & matured thinking.
regards…
all the best to you! good luck!
Good to hear that. Congrats! all the best
Hey New Hope,
care to share what your job scope covers and how much is your package?
by the way congrats on getting the job 🙂
Thks..its a Sales Manager position(FMCG),requiring a lot of travelling. $4500 before commission, & lots more benefits which was just briefly described to me over the phone. I’ll know more details when i sign tomorrow. There’s also over-riding commission from Team’s sales as its a manager position . After probation, probable increment.
Im just thankful to get the job, as I knew there were a few really formidable candidates for the position. I truly believe it was my personality that secured me the job. good luck to the ones who missed out on this chance(because of me!) & to all of you jobseekers out there!keep persevering!
Your pay is nothing. I got 12k when i started out…
Anyway.. cheerios to u
NEW hope!! Congratulations! I’m so happy to hear that you got the job you wanted. All the very best to you–I’m sure your rise to the top is not far ahead!
Ronaldo,
Your pay is nothing compared to mine.
I got 24k when i started out.
Ronaldo,
One more thing…i am rich now and have a very happy family. Want to ask if you have a family? and if you have, do you have problems at home?
A man is not complete without a happy family and financial freedom. To be able to live the life he desires. That’s life. Not about boasting how much he can make now for there is no job security now! Ronaldo when we think we are well off there are lots of others who are much better off than us. But i’m impressed that you are a high income earner at your age. Be thankful, not boastful.
well..my soon to be ex wife brought me out for some beer..she was so happy for me…because she knew what i went through the past few months..
to those who earn a lot..be very thankful, & try to cherish that..because the average singaporean is not that lucky…trust me..
& worst, $ cannot buy everything..like health..& family bliss…
for me.the great pattern in my life is…just like how bad luck comes in big batches..so does good luck…now my relationship with wife is good…may even try to resolve matters..who knows?…
& regarding salary..4500 basic..im more than contented..& given the commission..i know i will earn more…but thats not what matters most…really..it will take a “mishap” to actually understand that…
hehe..this comment is just to emphasise my new nickname..”NEW HOPE”
first and foremost: New Hope – congrats. i am sure you will do well in the future.
now, more investigative work….
how can one start out with 12k, when he was actually making 9.5k basic before???
worse…if one really was making 12k, why on earth would one ask whether any other figures below that are ‘market value’???

You must be new here… the regular visitors all ignore him already 😛
Hi Ronaldo, i dun want to ignore you. I am your friend and you need help and i want to help you. Please post some evidence.
Oh my.. somebody else impersonated me again.. imitation is the best form of compliment..
the remark saying i earn 12k when i started out is made by my fan or an admirer i think..
none can beat a mega church pastor wage per month.
a rock solid $$$$50k! hehe
How to apply? 😀
there’s not much discussion goin on here now…?
i hope there will be no retrenchments for you good folks out there…anytime soon! The Daily news reports don’t sound too promising.
as for me, Monday’s the 1st day of work! although, my COO did bring me around a bit to see the colleagues on wednesday when i signed the employment letter. I discovered I will have my own office! wow.. thats gonna be a 1st for me. the other managers share the common space!
I was given about 10 books to help with my understanding of the company & products, which i happily am browsing through past few days…
I hope everything will be smooth. From experience, every job has its perks & flaws, just have to adapt & adjust thats all…
That’s super cool. I want my own office also! 🙂
Anyway, glad to hear about that NEW hope. Seems like things are going real well for you.
My best wishes.
with best wishes new hope . . .
Ron
Thanks. It was a good day at the office on my 1st day of work.
Ronaldo, you are a high earner and should not be bragful but use your wealth to benefit the needy. When you die (and you eventually will), who will care how much you earn when you were 27 years old? Also, I’d be very surprised if your firm continues to pay you such a high base if you don’t pull in the business, especially when Singapore faces the full brunt of recession next year. Lets see whether you still get to keep your job by then.
S’pore will face recession and other investment/financial problems but only for 1 year. Retrenchment, down sizing,re-engineering, etc are no strangers for those well seasoned. Be frugal and prudent in spending or making investments. Think about Lehman, AIG, Enron, CAO, etc. Be patient and it’ll soon pass over.
DL,
you are so sharp. you have been staring into the crystal ball?
by all means the pain just started now. 1 year to recover? you are an optimist.
hi everyone, I was wondering if you have stats on the salaries of people in hotel management or tourism, as well as their working hours. also, do I need any specific degrees?
thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
p.s. ronaldo, if you really must haolian your $12k pay, pls find someone who can put up with you and stop spamming this site.
adiemuso. I’m a former financial analyst and I stand by what I said. Ain’t no crystal balling. Just hard financial figures. We should be recovering latest by end of 2010. Anyway our SWF, Temasek & GIC have not stated any losses yet. Airlines and logistics like transportation will be badly hit. And already happening, some airlines reduced loads like safety belt, etc. Air disasters coming up?
Gwen. Hospitality industry salary for management posts rarely can touch above $2.3k, unless you are in higher managerial post. Avg pay around $1.9k up to $2.3k is the norm. Working hrs maybe 5 days week for mgt staff. Others like front office, hsekeeping, etc may also have 5 days wk but off days may fall on weekdays or 1 wkday and 1 wkend.
DL,
no offence. I stand by what i had said too.
its too early to call any recovery in 1 year. we might have seen the short term bottom on Monday. it might take another 1-2 years before we get to see another retest and perhaps further downmove.
what we have experience currently is just the financial shakeup and credit crunch. the weakest link in the financial and credit markets are getting purged.
it does not end here. the real economy will be affected.
once the fog lifts among the banks and financial markets, there will be plenty of restructuring and consolidation. likewise, the credit lines to corporates and consumers will be reviewed and reassessed.
SWFs and Govts can only do this far, stepping in with regulations and stimulus plans. what we have seen is a dislocation of the financial markets. it has far reaching implications than mere monetary or fiscal policies.
and the hard figures you are refering to are what we refer to as lagged data. the markets and economies are dynamic and not static. past results does not neccessarily indicate future performances.
Hi, i know this sounds stupid and like many other questions people haved asked but i need some advise from you experts. I am working in a EPC company (eg; schlumberger, FMC, Modec etc..) as a project manager for about 1 year. Prior to this i had about 4 years in a marine industry. I am getting only 7k. Is this the norm? or over or under? Please help give some advise.
adiemuso it will definitely take a long time for pte corps to recover but the gahmen won’t go bust cos there’re always ways n means to recover losses thru taxes n spending on projects to rejuvenate income. The gahmen should see financial gains towards year end of 2009.Past n future mkts are not correlated n my analysis is dynamic too, not static. Things or events always move or evolve n nothing stays stagnant. Tats y i said not based on crystal balling but rather dynamic forecast as even most gahmen n pte sectors made various forecasts, not 100% or even 90% accurate but around 80%

Correction. S’pore should see financial gains by end of 2010 not 2009. Typo error. Refer to my post dated 29th Oct. I definitely stand by wat I said or else i quit financial sector for good.

The reason why I can get what I am getting is because i am good and I have proven myself with results to show for it.
I can’t count myself as overpriced but instead maybe underpriced. I expect higher salary.
I am young and I know i can go higher from where i am now in terms of position and renumeration.
Honestly, I am not afraid of being asked to go. I have exit plans and I can easily go to other agencies because I have already been offered packages.
Should you or anyone else trust what I said?
My answer to that is why should I care? I am fairly happy where I am now and I only prove to myself and no one else.
If you think you are as good, you will already know it in your heart.
The fact of the matter is you know you are not.
And thats why your remarks seethe with so much jealousy and enviousness.
Cheers
Ron!
Keepng my job is no worries at all.
This is my least concern.
christine, you should watch your back because you might get lay off soon.
Usually middle lower staff like you get lay off.
Take care
Ron
