CNA938 Rewind - The Big Question: What is a reasonable average starting salary for fresh grads?

CNA938 Rewind

Based on a survey of residents aged 22 to 28 last year, the Manpower Ministry found that graduates across most disciplines earned less than they had expected. The School-to-Work Transition Study also found that around one in three university graduates rejected job offers as the wages were too low. In this week’s The Big Question, Rani Samtani and Hairianto Diman find out how important the salary component of a compensation package is for fresh grads and if they should expect more. For more, they speak with Andrew Toh, Fresh Graduate, NUS, and Aprilyn Chan, Director for Accounting & Finance, Randstad Singapore.
