I think you are underpaid. But no worries, at least you are in O&G and still young, many opportunities will come.

Thanks. But I'm dilemma on whether to jump to other industries as there's jobs offering more salary than my current one.

Might be tempting. Once you are out for a few years, you will have a hard time coming back to O&G. Be patient ... I was in 3K+ for the first few years. And then .. you can be more demanding.

Yahh...might be true..but my current job experience are a non-carry forward experience to other company in future. That's why I'm in confusion.

I've interviewed a few fresh graduates asking for salary above RM2500, reason is they graduated from oversea and some because they are 1st class honour. Honestly, I won't choose those fresh graduate who demand so much. At last, I choose a fresh graduate with CGPA 3.65 and expected salary is RM2000. I offered her RM1700 + allowance + commission and she accepted. After 6 months, she can perform and I increased her salary to RM2000. I think the most importance is you love the job, put effort to perform the best, innovative and learn. Your boss will knew it. If they don't appreciate you, learn everything and jump la.

That's the problem with Malaysian. Obviously, these people are spoiling the market. Some say they can hire a fresh graduate with CGPA 3.70 for RM1.8K. Then it smells like those who have lower CGPA will be getting less than that. Salary increase depends on management as well. Some just pretend as they dun see the well performed employee yet they also did not request for further increment. They knew, and they offers you when you wanna jump.
