Running In Place
I absolutely love salary.sg. They just launched their latest annual salary comparison tool here! Somehow, it’s like the whole Singapore is getting richer, compared to the year before.
I found that I should increase my basic salary by about 4.4% if I want to keep my position in the rat race, compared to 2007. How the race never ends! Since I didn’t get a 4.4% increase in my salary, my position in the rat race has worsened 
(Having said that, note that the report for 2008 is based on people’s income in 2007, which was something like a booming year in Singapore. I suspect the next year’s salary tool–which is gonna be based on Singaporeans’ income in 2008–will be lower somehow…)
