How do I increase my monthly salary as I'm currently earning less than 3k and recently graduated from my part time university studies with 4 years of experience?

As I'm in the building/facility sector, the monthly salary is not that high. Recently I just graduated and was thinking if I should change my existing job and hoping if I can get a higher pay. Since from what I understand from my other colleagues that they submitted their uni cert to HR but no pay revise was given.

Should I take the risk? As I'm going to get my BTO and marriage soon in coming 1 year

Do set a meeting with your HR/supervisor and ask about what is the possibility of a higher-level role or pay revision since you have a degree-level qualifaction. But do also be prepared to rationalise why you deserve a promotion or pay-hike (e.g. picked up new skills through course of studies). Sometimes simply having a certifcate might not be enough to justify a pay revision by the company, that's the harsh truth.

If things don't go your way and you believe that you are worth more than what you are getting paid for especially after investing time in completing a university course, start looking for opportunities elsewhere.

All the best!

Facilities sector is hard to jump to anothe sector.

In-house role have all the benefits but no outsource vendor.
