Yeah Im not going to be a waitress for life, anyway i just work because i need money since i am still a student, need to pay for my food & transport, plus dont really want to take my parents money cuz they are very old already (dad is 70, mum is 60). Am living with minimal , food cook on my own and dont go lepak much.

I thought of taking MASS COMM (Public Relations) after my CAT. But thing is, i heard the pay for starters is about rm2k? and i think thats not enough. haha

Just wondering what job can give high pay, like rm5 k above a month.

My sis is a teacher, she ask me to be one but i dont think im capable of that. i am very outgoing and i will not set a good example to students, if i am going to be a teacher. Plus i dont really find myself work in office.

headache loo. have to make decision soon. After graduate CAT have to go to anohter college and settle to 1 course, so want to make desicions now, help me can?

u can further study a professional qualification called CIM http://www.cim.org.my/ (Chartered Institute of Marketing)...hope this would most suit to u...seems that u dont really prefer working in office for whole day...so, i think Sales and Marketing would be suitable for ur career...for salary wise...u aim to earn RM5k above each month...doing sales and earn fruity commission if u r capable in achieving any targets set...the possibility would be higher for earning that amount...

hope this help ..

RM6/hrs.. fuyoh! that is more than 3 times my pay when I work in KFC while waiting for my SPM result back then. RM1.8/hrs, that time not self service yet.

hi all,

i don't know if this is the right place to post this but i'll post it anyways

just want to know if there are any CIMA graduates/ part qualified people around here in this forum.

What is the market value for CIMA students? since its always ACCA everywhere

I mean how much would an average CIMA student be able to earn?

Job Title : Associate
Job Desciption : Electronic Banking
Years spent in company : Just started this week
Company : CIMB Bank
Industry : Banking
Tenure : 6 month contract
Employment Level : Clerk
Experience before joining : AmBank clerk on 6 month contract ( Basic salary Rm 1.4k there )
salary : RM 1.2k

Why do you wanna take CIMA in the first place?

AFAIK, ACCA grats are easier to secure a job in either MY or SG as the qualification is more recognised in this countries.

CIMA on the other hand only more valuable if you wanna pursue a career in corporate finance.

For salary wise, I reckon ACCA grats do earn more than CIMA by 200-300.

I'm not exactly sure about php market, but from what I have see those jobs adv so far, there is a cap for php developer, normally they're offering 3-4k++, I haven't see those earn more than 5k.

For asp.net and java normally 5 years experience should at least fetch 5.5k-6k (total package divide into month).

Ya. So far i know your company is paying well for php. Let's me think about it.

In my opinion, switch back to Java or get a management post or join MNC as SA will get higher pay. But too many politic I can say imo.
Haha. Im stuck in my career path.

You really need to think about it then join experien for better pay as php developer if you want to continue to expose php.
Else switch to Java will provide you more opportunity and better career path.
Join MNC for SA position, erm I'm not sure your domain knowledge. But then I think is hard to find a SA opportunity that based on php development experience.
