technical consultant in my job scope / line requires programming aka developer. i think it's more like hampalang pao sai

i was offered a higher pay as a permanent, but its too far from my current place. my current client site is just 10 mins away from my apartment

Job title : Consultant
Job description: Consultancy, Programming, etc
Age: 23+
Company: Vendor for MNC
Industry: Database (banking)
Years in company : 6 months
Location : Malaysia
Tenure : Contract
Employment level: Executive (?)
Experience before joining : 1 year
Current Pay : 3500 basic + 200 allowance + parking (but i dont drive, so... i didnt claim ). No EPF, no bonus, but got medical + AL included. *phew*
Qualification : Degree in Comp Sc.

Is this okay? since i am contract, no bonus and losing out on company EPF. What should i expect as a contractual worker since the benefits of EPF and Bonus is not there for me

My first company didnt even offer me probation, straight away permanent and hence, i do not get increment at all after employment. And really lousy. Glad i quit my job after 1 year, phew. Happy with current company now .

Wow, i had a chat with my senior, 4 years older than me about my current salary (3.7k - with allowance - contractual, no epf, etc) - i've only been working about 1.5 years. And he said, wah quite low. -___-" He is on a contractual basis as well, shit. Am i underpaid? Really ruined my day.

I'm gonna be 24 this year, been working 1.5 years. But i dont get bonus though. The thing is, the line i am in (tech & functional consultants for a MNC), they earn big bucks. I am the small ciku among the rest of them. Hence, probably that's why i feel underpaid. I dont get OT claims, and i work till 8pm most of the days now. I just wrote an email to my boss about the unfairness in OT as we are short of hand, and the project does not want to give us more resources. So the current resources have to 'ham pa lang pao sai'.

Since we can manage the project without the extra resources (by working our ass off with overtime), they realised they can save money and deny us extra hands ... wtf man.

Fresh grad for 3000. Oil & Gas? The fresh grads in my inductry only earning the most 2500, specialized industry.

Doing SAS though. Might try SAP in the near future.

Yeah, I have a few friends working in O&G. Their basic pay is almost the same as me, but with offshore allowance, it's another story. They gain another 50% from their basic from there. Perhaps, it is time for me to move on to O&G

Nope, I'm with the MSIA one. It's different ...

Job Title : Technical Consultant
Job Desciption : Programming, Consultation, etc
Years spent in company : 9 months
Company : Local, tied to MNC as vendor
Industry : Banking/Warehousing
Tenure : Contractual
Employment Level : Contractual
Experience before joining : 1 yr
salary : RM3300 + RM200 (allowance) *before* - RM3500 + RM200 (allowance) *now*

So now, I have roughly about 1 year and 9 months of experience. I am planning to become a permanent, as i was offered the permanent post from the start but can't accept it due to commitment issues. But now, things have cleared and I am okay with being a permanent, but how much should I 'sell' myself for? I'm a girl, turning 24 this year. Does it make a difference?

I started with 2k as a freshie. Then after 3 months RM2250, after 10 months RM2500. But i quit after getting my RM2500. Don't think the company would be good for me in long term. But i was snatched right away from another vendor company. Now, i may say i am comfortable with where i am, but deserves better though.

Yeah, we are sama taraf now

What are the benefits? I would personally say it's too low for such a position. My current pay is almost up to par with yours, but only with 2 years experience in IT and have yet to turn 24 (okay... it's year end!). You could go for more, 4.5k for your years of experience?
