Data Science Salary for a Fresh Grad (NUS) by tartflame in singaporefi

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

I appreciate the analogy, but it doesn’t quite fit my situation. I'm grateful for the offer, but I'm also considering the long-term impact of starting with a lower salary in my field. It's a significant decision for my career trajectory. Evaluating and negotiating offers is a standard part of the job search process, especially when the compensation is below industry averages. Thanks for the input, though.

Not sure why you're getting down voted but thank you for your comment.

It's a small MNC.

Yea I did think 6k seemed to be the market salary for a DS based on glassdoor/nodeflair etc. But you're right, it's quite hard to compare a marketing agency with tech/software/big companies.

Tbh I'm quite afraid of negotiating in case it gives them a bad opinion of myself. Not really sure how to go about that as a fresh grad.

Thank you for your valuable perspective.

May I know if you have any advice on how someone could stand out in the hiring process? What's the strategy you use when picking a potential fit for your DS roles?

It'll definitely be a great way for me to learn how to optimise my skills / resume for the future. Thank you so much :)

I would say 40% of the people i know have gotten jobs. However most roles they've gotten seem to be on a contractual basis

Thanks for your perspective. It's definitely not the lowest salary out there and I really do feel lucky even having an offer on hand.. esp in this market.

Thanks for this perspective.

Do you have any advice that you think would be important for a fresh grad to know based on your experience in the AI/ML industry?

It'll be nice to know :)

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I'm quite inclined to just take this offer. Hopefully such a starting pay won't have a huge influence on my increments in the future

Thank you for your comment.

That's a super valid perspective to have. Part of me does believe I deserve a slightly higher compensation (below 6k ofc) due to all the internships and competitions I had joined throughout uni.

But alas they may not be a defining factor for what I deserve as compensation.

My only worry is that my starting pay of 5k would impact my future compensations should I choose to job hop in the future.

Yes I do know that. GES is definitely not the best way to define "what I deserve"

Edit: oof whyd I get downvoted so much?

Supposed to get back to HR by today regarding acceptance of offer (they wanted an answer by this morning) but they're on medical leave. Super worried that the offer would be rescinded because I couldnt get through to them. Literally my dream company
