Are you – or striving to be – a professional that excels in professional services, information technology, selling consumer products or online retail? Robert Walter’s 2018 survey suggests your best bet is making the most of the growth in banking and financial services, insurance and consumer goods (FMCG).
While these paychecks may be peanuts compared to what Indonesia’s top Execs take home (See 20 Richest Indonesian’s Article), it is proof that the growth in SEA is providing increased salaries for manager and director positions.
