depending on what is your definition of a 'decent life' RM3700 is more than enough for a single person if you lead a frugal lifestyle.

accommodation could be as cheap as RM200 for a single room (small).
food, if you dont mind budget food, RM15 per day should be sufficient. (RM15x30) = RM450 per month.

it will be a different story if you drink and party every other weekend.

78 years of experience! respect!

where is your location? Klang Valley?

i thought hotel is basic pay + points?
and you work in front office?

extremely low overtime pay. atleast they pay though.

seems a little underpay. but stay on until May of 2011, at least with one year experience it looks better in your resume.

commission based for your current job?

it seems a little low in terms of your salary growth from mid 2006 to 2011. (RM1800 ~ RM2500)

not in a few years time. some MNC is already paying between RM3~RM3.5k for fresh graduates doing non technical work.

may I know how much did you earn 7 years back? each year increment how many percent on average?
yes, you are considered underpaid for 7 years of experience.

few key points to take note if you are following this thread.

1) this is not reflecting the job market in general. For every fresh grade earning RM5k per month, there are another 100 thousand of them earning RM1.5k or less.
2) lots of bullshitting. how could we verify the truth?

though managers with more than 10 years of experience, and less than RM7k? what kind of managers are you referring to?
if restaurant outlet manager maybe.

I know 2 F&B manager with low pay.

A) Secret Recipe. In charged of several outlets. RM3k ++, less than RM4k.
B) Coffee Bean. Slightly less than RM3k.

do they practice 10% of salary for petrol across the board for everyone?

if you stay in one company and no promotion of your position, the salary increase tend to be rather slow.
a lot of times, the seniors felt frustrated when the newly hired are getting equivalent or only slightly lower than what they are getting.

i am not sure about the situation in Seremban but the fresh graduates i hire are all getting a salary close to RM3k these days. (youngest 1989)
