What do you all think eh?

Chance = not guranteed? Any bond involved? If got bond, better not go 4 it ..... coz if later not ur cup of tea, jia lat liao....stay u not happy, leave must pay money.

What is "go to overseas"? Go there for leisure purpose? For training? For project? From your description I dont see your offer being any better compared to your current. The title "management trainee" might just be another gimmick that most companies use.... (the title "management trainee" is intensively misused nowadays)

i guess it depends. if you are required to work in shift, then i think you can consider, allowance as part of the package.

i think it also depends on how you bargain/nego with the new co.

i was getting rm2.2k basic and rm3k travel allowance... so every month i draw abt rm5.2k (sometime more coz i claim stuff)

so when i went to sime darby interviu i request only 5k... they said 2k ->5k is more than double.. i said no wor i get rm5k now wo... then they say NO NO ur basic only rm2k.. so last last i didnt accept coz they said the most is 4.5 nia cannot 5...

Mind to share what sector are you in? 3k travel allowance is crazy man. No Co. will believe that if you base in office. Generally will think the 3k is the business travel claim then part of ur income. 2k+3k really doesn't make sense.

BTW wat post you interview in Sime Darby?

oh.. i was working in thailand for 1 yr... 1 month come back msia once... so 1 day travel allowance rm100 loh

Senior Analyst

question:
With RM800 salary, is it possible to live n work in kuantan?

nice travel allowance u got there.. some more live in thailand.. can save a lot

assuming you own a motorcycle (only), dinner at home, weekend lepak at home, then you would be able to save..

Very easy solution, earn less, then spend less. If earn less still spend more, then you looking for trouble.

In 2001, I earn only RM800 in Subang. But still able to save some money. It really depend how you budget you expense.

hi guys, i was offered 2.5k - 2.8k SGD to work in sg as a php programmer. do u guys think the offer is kinda low?

2.8 for 3 years of experince, i think is low..

summore u are expatriate dude if work on another country

hey guys,

b4 this,i'm work with my company(outsource) for UNIX support using degree and salary is about 1.9k.Now,after one year,i think my salary should increase too because i have one year experience.So, can i send letter to HR about increasing my salary up to 2.5k?

Why the offer got range one?? I tot it shld be confirmed figure?

SGD2.8k for 3 years experience is too too too too low.
Even fresh grad (Singapore uni) get that amount.

Obviously they pressed your salary because you are considered as foreign workers like bangla or indon....

fml?

no company will treat you as an expatriate or send you for oversea assignment until you demonstrated outstanding work performance to them. Don't worry TS, join 1st, proof to them your worth and move up from there. keep up the spirit

1. Is it because your cousin owns a tuition centre and that's why he earns RM15K? Impossible to earn this figure if he is working part-time as tuition teacher.

2. Yes. Hawkers, fishery industry do earn lucratively. Moreoever, they earn CASH money EVERYDAY, aka how much you sell today, how much you earn today.
