Your salary is consider good given you are working in Sarawak. If you work in KL or Penang, maybe can demand 200-300 more.

i dont have degree, didnt do sales @ own a business but still earn 2.7k when i was a fresh grad.. dont expect with degree you can easily get 2-3k..

If RM3600 can't survive in KL, then those 2k plus staff might need to sleep across the street?

Salary RM3600 is more then enough to buy car & house with a average lifestyle. Anyway it really depend the lifestyle you living. If everyweek pub & clubbing, then you might having problem in your saving.

Average spending in KL will be

Food RM500
Rental RM400
Petrol RM300
Parking RM200
Car Loan RM600
Entertainment RM300
Internet & Mobile RM200

Total RM2500

So you still can save RM1100.

account/finance people commonly will become the CEO,CFO,CIO of the big company... this is my survey...

Guys,  wan to get some suggestion, how do we improve our salary? Keep jumping to different company?

really a lot of engineers here .. 
i wish to know more about fields like account .. finance .. arts ? anyone ?

Honestly speaking I feel like I m wasting my degree and am not proud in what I m doing now... sigh... Wanted to look for a new job but not sure what type of job and post I can search and apply for. Is it too late to switch industry since I m 28, I wanted to look for one with a better pay like at least 2k plus. Lets not look at the currency but the amount. A degree holder could have earn more esp one wif work exp, but I m not sure about mine given the nature of my job is just clerical.

Any advice? Any suggestions on what type of job I can apply for? Am thinking of probably admin or something like that. I am not reluctant to learn new stuff tho.
