Back from my Barcelona incentive trip and decided to do some packing at home. Came across a file where I kept all my income slips for the past few years and make a pleasant discovery.
I first joined the business in late 2003 while I was in NUS year 3. Only 5 months plus to work in 2003 and my income was not that fantastic, I think I made slightly less than $10,000 that year. That was my first annual pay check.


6 years plus in the insurance business, I’ve always describe my job as “meeting 3 people a day to have a cup of tea” to my friends. I can always see that disbelief on their face. Is my description for the job scope of an insurance agent too far from reality?
Many people are interested in the salary of an insurance agent. Commission is the main remuneration for most agents in Singapore. Let me share with you how am I being paid for the past few years in the insurance industry.
Yesterday my friend mentioned that she’s not good at job interview while we were having a drink. I told her that I should write a blog post about this since I’ve been conducting interview hundreds of times in my management career.
