sigh...
next year brace urselves:
Toll and petrol going up
food sure will go up more, now also inflation so damn
high.
KL normal 2k plus pay cannot survive lar.

Penang seems to be more reasonable. The MNCs there pay a lot better - - Altera starting already 3245, Intel 2.8k, others around 2.6, 2.8. Somemore penang dont have to use so much petrol for travel.

True,
But I am currently from Penang. I have to tell you, unless you are an engineer with good results and know what you are studying, MNC hardly will employ you permanently from start. I myself try to get into the MNC permanently but with no luck. I finally took up a job as a contract worker in one of the MNC and I get much lower pay (about 500RM lesser than the permanent worker).

What all the people working in the Penang think?

Oh btw, I am a IT graduate.

how much you pay me?
IS IT? where is she? intro to me? anyway, what is she working as huh? but the MARKET rate is around 45k... so below 45k is considered underpaid, i guess... and what industry is she in?
long time edi, and i think you are like a SPY, suddenly popped out...

ANYWAY,

everyone here is either engineering or IT... no business related? finance? banking? i need to find out more about when i can go home for a DECENT pay job...
*
That really depends on where you work at
Finance and banking good pay but in here is very demanding and OT intensive. Business related can be huge, need to be more specific.

What kind of job you looking at?

medical field doesnt reli apply much bout electronics engineering, how m i suppose to do.

I like the allowance you got laugh.gif
2 years of experience...heck one year of experience will earn you a better pay, though not guarantee better allowance. As Electronics Engineering, you can join any company as long as what you learn can applied and they are more than willing to pay you good salary. My friend is joining Intel Penang as graduate trainee (same degree as you) and will earn RM2.8k, though your allowance is much better.

Intel is good. at least he can apply wat he had learnt in uni to the job.
mine was like...doing the technician job but not reli related to electronics or electrical.
even if i gained 1 year experience in med industry, other industry im still a fresh...
too rush to acept this offer.....regret~

i tried to apply those big mnc in penang n kl, the worst interview i had was in mini circuits...totally humiliation in my life...screw the inteviewer

from ur experience, how many percent of adjustment after probabtion ... my basic only 2k nia cry.gif

That really depends. If starting pay low might get higher, but usually will not get more than 300 incremental (I said usually). If open salary is considered high by the company, then sometimes will not even increase, like my case.

If u ask me am i applying wat i pickup in uni now on my work
I would say: not at all, sounds pathetic but that's the truth
infact i dont think what im doing is technical at all,
other than pressing some buttons ( where technician know alot more than i do) does this count?? haha...
but some of my fren do "think" that's technical work, it's quite subjective right?
cus i feel that any1 who atleast understand eng lang could do the same job well ( just to write some reports other than the "technicals")
some may say that we hav to know some product knowledge...really? cus that's just naming n figures to me...
FYI, most of my frens involved in the same working environment as i do
which is manufacturing, either front/bac end..

just something to share~

Well, I guess you still need the EE degree to get the job right.

There suppose to be a fixed period. However, the offer letter / contract always states that the company reserve the rights to cut short or extend the probation period. Hence, there isn't a fixed guidelines. Normally it would be 3 months probation or 6 months probation depends on a lot of factors, performance is one of the big one.

Different company have differnet policy. Like my company's notice period under probation is 14days. However, your company might also need you to pay penalty for that. Better ask around and HR.

Care to share your job, salary and everything to us to get back to topic? smile.gif

i think i am severely underpaid..

Job : Software Engineer
Job Description : Design + coding + testing + implementing software solutions. Maintaining current system, email servers, application servers of the company. Using Delphi, php, vb, etc... u can say rojak job.
Company : Some local telco company
Industry : Telco
Tenure : Permanent
Education level : Computer Science Degree
Experience : 3 year +
Salary : RM 2750
Leave: 14 days

OT: what is OT?
Bonus: ang pau got la.. nvr come across any true Bonus within this 3 years

As you can see my morale is very low at this point. Bond by the company until end of this year (fortunately is only 2 months left~), and i will throw letter in January.

Anyway, I wish to change my career to consultancy, such as SAP. What should i do next? Or other than SAP, any recommends career path from gurus here? It seems like O&G, Sales, and Investment earn the best, but non of it is within my interest. SAP, business analyst or even project management would be best suits me(trying to escape from techincal..). And i am looking for an MNC company which can travel alot around the world....

Still deciding my next career path anyway...
*
From what I had heard from seniors or experienced people, those SAP, business analyst and project mangement job are for people that with experience (some of it even need up to 8 years of experience). I myself had been applying the business analyst job like forever and never been picked for interviewed. (Sad huh). I think that you are a very good programming person, or at least familiar with it. I am sure a lot of of MNC would love to hire you to a junior-executive position. Non-technical IT job are starting to increase, but still not as much as the hard-core programmmers job.

Similiar than you, those sales and investment banking are not my interest. So, I guess I would have to stay with the current job until I can find a better job (countdown starts right now icon_question.gif ) Well good luck.

PS: I am now working as an analyst, but similar to you, I worked in different stuffs and sometimes it is very very free if there are not jobs for me.
