i can say 3.3k is pretty quite decent already some ppl have been working for 4 years plus and only drawing that amount.

in my humble oppinion 3.4k after deductions i presume for an admin/accounts exec is acceptable. If im not mistaken your salary is at its limit already for the position. the only way to me in order for you to advance your salary is to be promoted as an asst Manager or senior executive.

Times are bad these 2 years some $$ making companies too had with held bonuses. Plus one more thing the increment is normal for 5%. You should be lucky as some do not even get any increment. Some only got 2 -3 %. . hope this helps to change your perspective.

i see .. well being 24 and earning 3.3k is not bad already. im almost 30 and still earning a meager salary of 3.2k with 5 yrs of experience as an executive.

one thing that strikes me the most is why are you not given EPF? despite being a contract staff, you are entitled for epf deductions. I presume you are permant staff. never the least should you be a contracted staff, some companies do not pay bonuses to its contract staff esp if you are a 3rd party contract staff. I.e not directly hired by the company and not in their payroll.

The important thing is that - whats stated in your employment contract are you eligible for bonuses and OT claims ? perhaps you need to revisit our employment contract and see what does it says.

plus on the hind side you only have been working for 1.5 years. you have to pardon me as i'm not to sure what kind of organization you work with but i presume it might be an audit company some thing like accenture or EY. Different org has different pay scale and assuming your are still a junior exec its considered fair for the salary range of RM 3.3K.

perhaps you can check out your actual worth via http://www.kellyservices.com.my/res/conten...guide09_mal.pdf n jobstreet there . or jobstreet at http://myjobstreet-beta.jobstreet.com/care...?param=||my||my and http://www.robertwalters.com/en-my/salarysurvey/download.do

Hope this helps and speaking of salary i feel that i too should be an IT Procurement specialist or an asst Purchasing manager instead. if not then hope i get to be a consultant in Accenture = Supply Chain

u from csC?

yea i know.. but dont trust the date from jobstreet entirely it is not accurate and according to jobstreet. i contacted them on this issue before and they had mentioned to me that salary report is just a sampling study they take from their own web. it is by no means accurate and served as a guide for employers or employees. what i can say is that best you do some checks with other companies like kelly, robert walters and also our HRD Ministry for a more accurate information.

Added on March 11, 2010, 11:16 pmwell if you are getting that at the moment i suggest you stay put first... no point jump ship for a lower pay.. unless there is some relocation involved and other non cashed value rewards.

may i ask what is the reason for the change in job you are looking for ?

well i totally understand how you feel.. its common now a days.. bosses do not appreciate their staff.. but on the other hand perhaps you could be a change agent get your colleagues to change i know its not easy and will take time and effort and plenty of tears too but better then not trying.

As for cut in benefit its not so bad as long as they do not start to cut your pay. At the end of the day it really depends what you are looking for high pay = high stress, low pay lower stress. I suggest you stay on for another 3 months at the same time look for better offer. Look at it in terms of both monetary rewards and non monetary rewards like benefits and working condition and environment. IF im not mistaken you are in web design right ? why not apply for air asia ? i heard they are looking for ppl there.

good luck
