you're not sharing enough
when people say low now
you are comparing with your first paycheck
how about you share with us your current paycheck

i've already posted my current salary when i got my increment earlier. if u click on 'show posts by this member only' on the top right of my post, u should be able to see it. cheers!

I believe its quite common to be earning RM3k and above in KL expecially for those who have more than a 1 to 2 years experience. Most of my peers started working 2 years ago. Most of them are earning more than RM 3k , the rest are earning some where between RM2.6 to RM3k.

just to compare a little out of the box scene.. a foreign labour who works as site supervisor earns RM 3,500.00 per MONTH....

yes.... those banglas, indons is earning up to 3k... PER MONTH... as fabricators....

when is this updated? last month

which makes me wonder is going to tertiary education the way out of financial rat race?

my friends who stopped studying at SPM evel is earning up to 7-8K per month as carpenter in KL... yeah, those ah beng that you call on to fix your cabinet

But not every beng or bangla is earning dat amount rite? Most of them are still earning a mere 800-1k and eating nasi kandar with kuah everyday while the average or the lousiest diploma or degree holders getting 2k doing nth.

nasi kandar damn expensive.. everytime i eat wont less rm5

U order ayam, kambing, daging lar. Try nasi + kuah + telur (sometimes). haha

Earning 3k in KL is not really very common. It'll be too general to say so. Would you perhaps mean fresh grads who perhaps got their first job in KL begin their salary with 3k, is that normal?

It's really a 50 50.

Those with somewhat minimal exp of 1 - 2 years, usually less than half stay in KL.

Not everyone can tolerate the fast pace life.

And I can vouch for jitshiong - it all boils down to what sorta person you are, what sorta lifestyle you lead.

You a geek? Bookworm? Or a party person?

Terteriary education is NOT necessary the way out of the financial race.

Heck I've got a close buddy who haven't even finished SPM but with his determination and hard work, he even earns triple to what I earn.

Yet you can see the mentality or the maturity of someone who has education and someone who doesn't.

Everything has a pro and con to it.

Its no surprise for a hard working foreigner earning RM3k. There are a lot of demand for unskilled labour in Malaysia. They come in as a labourer, if they are hard working they normally get promoted quite fast and earn quite a bit.

Just curious,

in healthcare line,
purchasing manager salary was ?

possible to jump higher pay?

Unskilled ? ah beng? Please do not disrespect these people otherwise do it yourself. Those people are commonly known as tradies in Australia and they are extremely skilled at what they do and rightly remunerated so. They are paid so highly because tertiary education rarely present students with the chance to learn these skills at the level they can perform it at. I could only wish I'm as hardworking as them haha. Sorry for taking a standard moral high ground guys, I feel I need to fix these things when I see them ><

Tertiary Education isn't a means to the end because many graduates stumble upon graduation but if one pays enough attention, it does provide you with a lot of lessons to build your character and personality.

Age : 28
Job Title : Process Development Engineer
Years spent in company : almost 1 year
Company : MNC
Industry : Manufacturing
Location : Selangor
Tenure : Permanent
Experience before joining : 4.5 years
Education Level : Degree in local Uni (Not related to engineering)
Salary before joining: RM 3605
Current Salary : RM 4500 + 1 month contractual bonus + performance bonus
Benefits: Medical, dental care, group insurance, travel allowance

I feel grateful with my current salary because my background has nothing to do with engineering

I think I may caused a misunderstanding, sorry for that. What I was trying to say was :
In certain areas, they are a big shortage of workers. Especially unskilled workers (like working in a palm oil estate). Many employers are unable find locals to fill these positions as such they turn to places like Indonesia or Bangladesh. Hence I not surprise if some of them are earning RM3k or more. They worked really hard to get to that level and they TRULY DESERVE it.

Hope I clear the air a bit.

read back... I never disrespect them, infact, I`m closer with them compared to nicely dressed exects.. as they are more truthful rather than hyprocrite & stereotype

yeah, you're right. those Kongsi Kong (Construction skilled workers) earn up to 3k per month. I was so shock when I look at the figures for the 1st time in my working company which was 2 years ago. That time, I felt so sad that even labours are earning much more than me. I'm really unbalance during that period as I always think that how much my parents spent for my tertiary study. As a profesional I even earn less than RM3k today. This is really cruel. (Malaysia just no concern about talented this is true. this main reason why we have so much of Malaysia working oversea.)

For my example, I'm overseas graduates my 1st job, basic is RM2.1k working in one of the biggest listed construction company as Quantity Surveyor. This is really sad, BTW, Learning experience is most important as a fresh graduated.

Your experience is the main point why you can survive in engineering. You have a very good future.
Great!

Hopefully i will earn more too
