Its depends on ur investment plan and holding power.
For newcomer, its better to invest in strong defensive with div counters.
Better spend some time to understand all the types of stock available and learn from experienced investors or stock brokers.
Once u have knowledge then only go invest. You need to get real life trading experience.... u cant just learn from book or stock games...

Every mth, more than 50% of my salary will go into stocks.. the more units i buy, the more div i get.
If the share price goes up, more profits.
So far i've invest for abt 5 yrs+ and the returns is very good... more the 400% from my capitals.

If i put FD.. each year about 4%... 5 yrs.. 20% returns only..
so investment is a very good way to grow ur $$.

ok bro, thanks alot for the advice, will start looking into it as well.

Surely there's an age range to this classification?

Employment Level : Executive
Experience before joining : Fresh Grad
Salary : RM 2346.00

At the site - Depends....but i've been experience from 4am till 12 am...huhuhuhhuhuhu

Hi all, how bout my description....but im totally not agreed with this kind of pay...really low n i ald went to Indonesia to do the commissioning there...about 3 months and 7 days a week!..i dun have any extra allowances such as travel n car allowance...just claim only...huhuhuhu.... For me...as MNC company...allowances is not a big issue...but im quite dissatisfied with this company...

So how bout you guys...

Degree holder in engineering

Working as sales engineer

Public bank : rm2,800 + mileage claim
EM Systems S/B : Rm2,300 + 1k allowance(not fix)
Dp Star : rm2,400 + 1k allowance (not fix)
Delcol : rm2,500 + 1k allowance (fixed)


From my past experience working in sales line....i can say that the salary is quite f***ed up even though u not fresh anymore. There still some other company offering me rm2k to rm2.2k

p/s : most of the employer asked me "dont u think ur basic quite high?"

Bro endure it!!! start getting yourself a thicker portfolio and start looking for better opportunity after 1 1/2 years. leaving too early for your 1st job ain't going to give a good impression to your next job. Think this way, you are paying them for the chance of learning in the company temporary.

Where are you from?

RM2k is considered "reasonable" outside KL area....

Thanks bro Kidman....n i forgot to tell u that im bond with this company for 2 years....waaaaahhhh...if i run for this company below 2 years...i've to pay 10k...huhuhuhuhu...

ok lar 2.4k as fresh

last time sony offer me rm2.3k @#$%^*

i from kl bro panda....

2k? canot survive la....need to clubbing lagi haha

im software engineer but ended up in solution support. haha as for my salary, well i'm just being lucky. So ngam they need someone with such knowledge and so ngam they need someone with this ceritifcate and so ngam i got the knowledge and certificate. That's why. anyway do calculate for me the housing loan *off topic. currently there are few forumers from cimb, eon and rhb. thinking which to get. most of them more or less the same.

Even better bro~ then continue with them and ask your boss can have higher salary or not for your next appraisal. you can also choose to leave after 3 years because senior exec positions are for those with 3 years experience and above haha. But as for a start don't worry so much on the salary you are getting what i used to get.

i can see that ur company is a nice working place?or im wrong

Job Title : Technical Consultant
Job Desciption : Programming, Consultation, etc
Years spent in company : 9 months
Company : Local, tied to MNC as vendor
Industry : Banking/Warehousing
Tenure : Contractual
Employment Level : Contractual
Experience before joining : 1 yr
salary : RM3300 + RM200 (allowance) *before* - RM3500 + RM200 (allowance) *now*

So now, I have roughly about 1 year and 9 months of experience. I am planning to become a permanent, as i was offered the permanent post from the start but can't accept it due to commitment issues. But now, things have cleared and I am okay with being a permanent, but how much should I 'sell' myself for? I'm a girl, turning 24 this year. Does it make a difference?

er..i heard this from my friend and would like to verify whether is it true?
He said that a degree in accountancy with ACCA would get higher pay(starting salary) compared to those with ACCA and without degree.If it's true,around how much would it differ?(estimated will do)
thanks in advance

Ur money can grow very fast if u invest in strong good stock...
but beware.. stock market is also a dangerous place to burn ur money if u dun plan ur investment well.

Pls, go do some research on stock 1st if interested.
Last time i spend abt 6-8mth to learn the basic fundamental abt stock investing, learn to trade via virtual real-time trading games,
get info and stock recommendation from my remiser, etcs.. bfr start to investing using real $$.
Now i'm still learning...

All the best.
