I just graduated with a degree in engineering and am looking for my first job. I’m not sure how much salary I should be asking for. What’s the typical starting pay for fresh grads in engineering particularly in mechanical engineering? I heard the pay's pretty low but how low is low? Anyone can advise? Thanks

Last time I checked.. Salaries for fresh grads in mechanical engineering quite low, typically around S$3,500 to S$4,000 in Singapore. You may do some research on it too. But in terms of career progression, this field where your salary will rise quickly as you gain experience. Try aiming for MNC or larger companies. All the best !

My advice, try to present a salary request in a range even though you are still fresh graduate. You did your internship too right? If you do, try to ask your supervisor there and see how much they offer for jr role/entry level there. Then that’s how you can expect for your next company that you’re going for interview.
