Any banker in here?

skysky,

Your salary compensation scheme seems to be 'fair' - for now. Obviously, it's difficult to gauge as the Advertising Industry is very much a 'human-capital' industry. As your experience and skills especially in the areas of strategic thinking increases, you will find yourself more 'marketable' - bearing in mind, the longer you are in the industry, the more people you ought to meet.

My advice to you is to chart your own career path. If you think the current agency you're with can't give you the opportunity to grow then leave and join another one. If it's for the compensation and not for a career, you probably can just scout around to see if there are any vacancies elsewhere but bear in mind moving too often, and too soon will not benefit you too much esp when questioned at the next interview.

Ask yourself what it is that you want. As you have just started out, you may want to grasp the opportunities out there for now, rather than look at the compensation scheme. If you're creative enough, and think u have the talent for copywriting, my suggestion is move yourself into that area immediately - you should be able to command more compared to AEs.

I haven't come across any advertising agencies who pays OT. If you do, let me know so I can put my resume through too

guys just want ask seen so many ccna expert at here

actually i want ask something which one better should i pursue to continue my degree or going to chase CISCO certificate? and which one is more good, i already ask a few of my friend but their opinion is i should go for degree later chase cisco, what is your opinion?

Two of my current colleagues leave geoservices after work for less than 1 year, same salary and benefit. They said cannot tahan la, very boring. Not suitable for everyone.



Even my friend who join ILO can get rm7k, fresh grad (1st class result), but he also work for about 1 year only.
For me I don't like such kind of workscope, I feel too danger for me to work on/off at rig/platform.

over here in malaysia we use a screwdriver to screw a screw '
but I get your message no worries.\

cant browse through all the pages and there is a lack of search function within a thread, may i know whats the salary for a doctor and specialist in any field? =)

Hrm I'm earning 2,500+/mth with 4 month bonus = ~3,000++/mth. 1year 7mths with Standard Chartered Bank (no previous work exp). B.Sc. in Comp. Science, doing nothing related to IT at all (pure banking).

I know SCB has an International Graduate program (click click) that no need work exp, start off at least 3k+/mth and there's a chance to be posted overseas, if you're interested.

i have a question. at the end of the interview, if the interviewer mentioned about how much they could offer us, normally the price is before or after confirmation? and he mentioned that my expected salary is a bit high.

If you can get a degree .. why not ?

Cisco Certificate is just a certificate .. but i believe degree will mean a lot for you. But i do have friends with diploma but good in networking too. They graduate earlier and earning big bucks by now. But then, you don't have time or willingness to go for degree once you are in such a position. So ask yourself, what do you value most in your life ?

Even a high school salesman can earn more than you who have a degree .. but looking at it with different perspective, it's something that you gain and lost while giving up something else.

Well, it very much depends where is ur future direction. If what u want is to be specialist in Networking field, then Cisco Cert is GOOD choice. And of course, don't just stop at CCNA, instead must move forward to CCNP/CCSP/CCIP/CCVP and ultimately CCIE!!

Myself is an example, I only obtained until NCC Higher Diploma, and I continue my Cisco Cert (preparing my CCIE now) still I am earning an attractive income.

ALl the best

Lol, you're either bullshitting or you must be very very high up to get 5 percent commission from a project.

manager, of the my company witnessed that while he was visiting another subsidiary in europe.....he felt strange and so asked the staff....

guess wats the answer? "gotta go home walk my dog..."

for them, this is completely normal, their 'after-hours' will always be respected; heck, i bet 'OT' is not even in their dictionary. We, on the other hand is totally the opposite.

after all, there are so many differences about culture even among ourselves. As long as we achieve our targets... n get paid reasonably, coz I dun think saying back occasionally to contribute more is called 'OT' nor going back 'punctually' is respected as 'after-hours' rights or watever they call it. I believe in flexibility and efficiency. I do what I have to do.
