Every year, Michael Page, a multinational recruitment giant based in the UK, releases numerous reports on labour markets around the world, including Singapore. This includes its annual Salary Guide, based on its own internal data.

As the company specialises in working with medium to large enterprises, it does provide an accurate snapshot of the conditions in the corporate sector—so well developed in Singapore.

I reported on their findings last year, today it’s time to look through the updated figures, excluding executive roles (that is CEOs and other C-suite execs, general directors and so on), out of which I filtered out 252 roles that pay an average of S$10,000 (and one extra which falls barely under this level).

For the full rundown of all roles, including lower paid ones, you can head over to Michael Page directly and download it there.

The list is divided into 14 different industries in the corporate sector, covering all the major areas: accounting & finance, engineering, manufacturing, healthcare, HR, sales, technology and more.

Here are the roles that pay best in each of them:

Evolving demands of the corporate world

Michael Page notes in its report the increasing demand for technological competence across all of the industries listed above, not only those strictly tech-related.

From automation of routine processes in accounting to AI and robotics in manufacturing, employees on all levels are expected to leverage technology to improve their and their company’s productivity.

Besides efficiency improvements, the two other most desirable skill sets are data analysis (tracking both money and people) and expertise in compliance, with evolving ESG requirements in areas related to money (accounting, finance), legal services, healthcare, procurement and sustainability.

Not only do companies have to operate in an increasingly regulated environment, where missteps might be costly, but also with understanding of the modern media landscape and societal polarisation, where every error or miscommunication can backfire in a costly PR blowback. That’s why staying on the right side of the rules is becoming increasingly important and cannot be only delegated out to any single department but has to be practised by every single one.

The reward for having this combination of skills is a generous pay in many different positions, which can accommodate people from a large number of different educational backgrounds—not only the usual tech and finance.

There’s something for (almost) everybody.
