Salary may be a sensitive topic for many in the workforce, especially at a time when we're navigating high inflation and cost of living. We've read about how some fresh graduates in Singapore expect their starting salaries to be between $5,000 and $10,000. One Singaporean content creator, however, shared that fresh graduates in 'office jobs' in Taiwan earn around S$1,300...
"What they told me actually kind of shocked me," said Zac while highlighting that Taiwan is a developed country.
For context, he compared how much a fresh graduate in Singapore who does marketing would earn, giving a ballpark figure of $3,500 to $4,000. "One said that their salary is actually sufficient for them to live life in Taiwan. Almost all don't stay in the city area as houses are very expensive. They stay in the outskirts and then travel to Taipei for work," he said.Netizens also gave their two cents in the comments section.Others echoed Zac's observations, emphasising the overall affordability of living in Taiwan.
While one pointed out that earning $4,000 as a marketing graduate is tough unless you're working for big tech companies.
