My current recommendation for people who wants to climb up the ladder:

Don't neccesarily start with big company. Big companies have a more tight pay scale structure (but will definately give you a better starting salary), but it is usually harder to climb in the beginning due to high competition.

I started off in a small company as a junior exec, then later became a senior exec for a small company, before becoming a senior exec in a big company. My starting pay was initially 1.7k inclusive all allowances in a local company, whereas my friends was getting 2.4k for starting salary in MNC companies. Now they are getting around 3.5k-4k for same experience level as me.

Unfortunately, I don't think loyalty pays well. I jumped jobs several time to reach my current position and those who didn't jump that much were not that fortunate (usually).

mine.... so frustrated............bcoz..

tom, u do any programming?

malaysia will end up like jakarta soon... high inflation rate, low manpower wages... and fcuked up government. how can we fight singapore? hong kong? taiwan?

average people in hong kong earn HKD 25k with 3 years exp. that's equivalent to 13k RM. yes, although the living expenses are high, but they still have a lot of advantages like superb public transportation system and so on. thier inflation is high, but pay is high too.

us? everything is crap. compare with other country and u will see malaysial's path.. we're screwed.

nope... only technical

A 8-10 years exp cardiologist can hit 20k-30k a day easily.

sure or not...20K??

Yup.
I knew 1 whom make 50k a day...

20k / 50k a DAY or a month ?
a day is too much rite..

A day lar. Not too much if you are hardworking.
We are talking about a person around 42-48 years old here.

that's true. it depends on how many surgery they do a day. 1 surgery easily hit more than 15k.. or bigger ones 20-30k.

but not everyone dare to open ppl's body and fix the heart..

Ya man. If you accidentally cut something wrong, can you handle the responsibility...

this reminds me of the CNY advertistment on TV.. about the 4 old ladies talking about their sons, and one of their sons makes 20k british pounds per operation. haha..

Sorry guy, What is MNC stand for?? I cannot understand what is consider as MNC company?

There is one wireless company named MNC (funny name) and is very kiamsiap. Lucky didnt join them

MNC means Mohammad Noor Company

MNC = Multi National Company, ie foreign-based companies like Nokia, DHL, Motorola, etc.

non-MNC = local Sdn Bhd....

Hope this helps
