yes u are highly paid for a freshy ...
so pls treasure it.

u should be grateful because usually the salary is rm1500 for software engineer. the salary is high enough.

huh?seriously huh?i tot i m paid reasonably oni

btw,1.5k is 2 low ler..at least 1.8k n above is ok..but still depends on co n location

Your pay is actually reasonable, IMO. But nowadays most company pay less than 2k even in KL where all the things all so expensive. Where's the company actually? If outside KL then OKlo.

yalo..i also think is reasonable nia..not veli high

my company is at damansara..

your pay is good dude, considering your position. no matter who you ask, they're gonna say your pay is good.

Hey guys, I think it was here that I saw it, someone posted a guide (PDF) on average job salary for every single type of job. Anyone have a link for me there?
*EDIT* Nvm, found it at Kelly Services.

Anyway, I'm wondering what the market rate for annual increment is. For a programmer, (VB.NET, SQL, that sorta thing), fresh grad, working at the company for 6+ months adi.

software engineer fresh grad ask for 2.8k or 3k??? hahaha dude, u crack me up... MNC also quite hard to get that la...

Unless you're very good and experienced, else nobody will hire a fresh grad with 2.8k-3k...

FYI, I work as system engineer in KL, my salary is just 1.7k plus mileage allowance. And bear in mind, your salary is direct proportional with your workload and pressure...In KL, if your boss give you 2k salary, means he is expecting 4k work from you.

For your first post, this seems rather immature. Shows that you do lack the depth of what it means to be out there looking for a job after graduation.

If you want to boost up the salary market in malaysia, you have to start boosting up the earnings of the companies here.

Agreed that my posting was rather weak as I did not clearly mention the true intent of what I meant. My apologies on that, wrote that post in a hurry

Anyone knows that in order for the company to achieve greater earnings there are a lot of factors that control that, the employees, the country it is operating in, the economy and other external factors.

To answer on why MNC companies lay off their workers are usually based on the entire groups earnings and trying to reduce cost while streamlining their operations in order to operate efficiently while maximizing profits and reducing costs. It could even be a strategic decision such as selling off unprofitable subsidiaries or shutting down unneccesary departments.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with negotiating a salary but what can you negotiate when you are a fresh graduate looking for a job? If you actually do read the rest of the comments made here by other forumers who are hunting for jobs, getting a job more than RM2.5k is very good and not many people can do that.

Ask him to negotiate after receiving RM2.2k for his first job with nothing to hold on to but just a degree is not something advisable. Heck, you might even make him/her lose the opportunity to obtain the job.

If you look from a management view, why should I bother hiring someone who wants RM2.8k-RM3k if there are like 100 other applicants who are willing to accept the job at a lower salary. At the end of the day, we are in a very competitive environment where people are willing to work for less just to grab on to that first job. But once you have gained your experience, then negotiating is definitely acceptable and a good way to increase your own pay.

If you look from a management view, the entire hiring process would you be able to fit in another employee within your department's budget while balancing your other employee's pay structure and year end bonusses? You would then have to consider a training budget as well as allocation of staff planning time in order to train the new hire. Not planning ahead would then cause more of your staff to be overworked and thus causing the entire department's morale to drop.

So again back to the whole entire question about negotiating for a higher pay, lets try to think this through with both pictures in mind, you as the employee and the person/company who is hiring you.
