staibd, where u working? Sounds quite good for fresh grad

IS there goood pay for chemist vacancy in penang?

mayb i noe where u work? West malaysia? u took biochem degree?

What industry are u working in and wat kinda job?QA, R&D or Analysis chemist?sales chemist?
RM2.6k for fresh chemist is really not bad, from what i know, fresh chemist pays is like RM1.8k to RM2.2k mostly...which is peanut!!

I am working as QC chemist. Work include supervising technicians, trouble shooting, and many more.

Yea. My salary is high. I am happy with it but this job is high in stress. I have a degree in chemistry from a local U.

But nowadays over 2k job is really ok ad la ..

my fren chemist, she earns over 9000

How long has she worked in order to get >9000?

depending on the company .... some company especially petrol chemicals offer high salary ...

i know of friend who is working my supplier company for road furniture products like bitumen, flexible poles, those petrol chemical products ..
he earn around 7k ... but bit torturous le ... coz the whole R&D dept is just him 1 ppl .... lol

mind to tell which petrochemical company u working?
i'm a graduate from chemistry background and local uni also..
interested in petorchem industries..

Hi staind, do you mind explaining further about your job? Trouble shooting about what?? And how many workmate do you have with you, doing the same job?

wow
those getting >2000 is very lucky
i'm a fresh grad taking industrial chemistry from a local uni
still hunting for jobs now
but according to my coursemates
salary would be depending on location
for wat i heard lowest is 1200 n da highest is 1700
very hard to find chemist job >2000
pathetic, right??
so i'm thking of switch to other fields
any recommendations??

below rm2k is just plain demeaning
only those with barely passing qualifications can consider to accept these kind of desperate offer
not to be disrespectful, but its a general fact

maple, u shud jump to a better offer when u have the chance
a fresh grad with not much experience yet on what to expect, so dun feel down
most probably just another common case of employers wanting cheap labor by getting fresh grads
u wun feel the same way after u have 1 year experience
good luck

The beginning of everything is always tough.

Salary bracket ranges from RM1,800 to RM2,300 for beginner's tier.

Salary may climb up to RM5,000 to RM8,000 for intermediate's tier. A friend of mine is a chemist working in private sector. Her last drawn salary was approximately RM4,500 per month (Degree from a reputable local University + couple of years of working experience).

Hi, may I know is it still high demand for chemist in these days? what about the salary/ working hour/ career prospect?

I'm assuming that by 'chemist' you're referring to laboratory based work where chemistry knowledge is indispensable.

There is always demand for QA/QC chemists as they're required in a wide array of industries. Pay extra attention to the principles behind HPLC/GC/NMR and (if you're still an undergraduate student) get into a research group that would grant you access to those instruments, such experiences will help make you stand out among the pool of applicants.

I believe the starting pay is around RM 3-4 k for a fresh grad, but your career advancement would be limited until you get a postgraduate degree.

A good advice i got from friends, get into Data Analytics. You can utilize this knowledge in your everyday career lives. Engineer/Scientist with technically competent analytics is in demand now.

for a chemist, generally the pay is a bit on the low side. What u can do is try to enter either:

i) Petrochem (hardest to enter) or
ii) Chemical based company (western/japanese/korean mnc)

both have good remuneration package. The HR has good communication among these chemical companies and they will tried to revise the package to prevent good talent jump to another company..

Hope this will help

oh, if u have good personality, might want to try sales chemist as well.

Yes, that assumption was right!

This is very helpful! Thank you!

I see! This is very helpful indeed!

I should keep an eye on that and thank you for sharing!

Highest pay for a chemist? Its very subjective, but definitely is in 5 figures range.

Reach for the stars... this is one of the most successful CHEMISTS ever. So successful, they hand out annual prizes in his honour, from his wealth & legacy!
