Controller's salary

Post by tigert » Thu Feb 19, 2009 6:44 pm

Hi,

I was wondering how much a controller could get per month with 0-1 year of experience. If you know, could you please tell me? Thanks so much in advance. :)

Might help if you tell what you are controlling?

Have a guess how much he earns? No? Well how do we know what you might be earn?


PS Call me nasty, but I would pay you nothing, why?

1. You don't say what you will oversee.
2. There is a big difference between 0 years and 1 years experience. Is that 0-1 years of controlling, or being controlled? (most new recruits are rubbish for 6 months whatever you are)
3. You are now angry, and therefore cannot handle pressure.
Political correctness is the belief that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Generally they get somewhere in the ballpark of 2500-4000 (in the metropolitan area) but if your experience is slim to none then don't expect your pay to start with a 3...


But it really does depend on

1. how big the company is
1.1 what you will oversee

2. Experience (the next quote is QFT)
2. There is a big difference between 0 years and 1 years experience. Is that 0-1 years of controlling, or being controlled? (most new recruits are rubbish for 6 months whatever you are)
3. How well your studies have gone in the past

4. How big of a coffee cup the manager has had

5. The size of the moon

etc.

I know there is a difference between 0 and 1 year experience. But sorry that my question was not clear. I did want to ask the salaries without experience and 1 year experience. And Sakari, thank you so much for your reply - the information is really helpful :) :thumbsup: .
