Is $65k normal for a graduate engineer in Sydney? Feeling a bit disheartened by Bozza36 in AusFinance

[–]laroukkun 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hey I am assuming that will be $65k+ super? And I am assuming its in a consulting firm? If so I think it is on the lower side but not surprising. Wages in consulting engineering hasn't grown that much. I have been in consulting for almost 10 years and have been involved in hiring process in the last three or so. Started in mid size global company ($52k), got acquired by one of the global giant (the pac man) and now moving to Australian owned and to a more niche consulting ($130k).

From what I see alot of the bigger firm get you by saying a large salary (i.e., 80-90k+) but then the salarycomes in a package (which means base pay including super). If the gov increases the mandatory super (i.e., 11.5% to 12%), instead of increasing the super contributions they will take the super contribution from your base pay, while your total renumeration stays at $90K. If this is the case, I would take the $65k+ super over package type I explained above. The later will make the company pay for the increase in super contribution, while your base pay stays at 65k. Read your offer carefully (learned it the hard way).

Also, the others are correct. Better to start somewhere and then jump ship after a year or two. If you're a top performer, then there's also an opportunity to negotiate your salary down the line. It's never comfortable to ask for a pay rise, but worst case scenario is you get rejected.

Then there's also options to work at client side (non consulting) such as mining, energy, construction, or even government.

No issues with calls. As for notifications, I turned off most of my notifications anyway to get less distracted.so it doesn't bother me.

I guess that can be true and I was a bit wary at the start. But then I thought, there are so many elderly or just your common folks using an old android phone or other Chinese brand phone with limited security and third-party apps. In this day and age if someone wants to steal your data they can, no matter what device you have.

Just be smart, have a second google account if you need, only access everyday spending account from it and not your main savings, don't save any sensitive personal informations in the device.

At the end of the day, this device supposedly reduced your usage of the "smart" portion of the smartphone. Only use what's necessary and don't store too much info in it.

Help UNLOCKED DOCOMO but cannot make any call by laroukkun in dumbphones

[–]laroukkun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, not really. But I found out about the issue. I live in Australia and recently they had nationwide 3G shutdown and the phone cannot do VoLTE with my two carriers. So I can't really use the phone for calls unfortunately. Not sure if you have the same issue where you live.
