As far as I know, fresh grads in KL are lucky if they get paid RM2k and above. I'm not sure about annual increments, but is there such a possibility that 2 years working experience can get you to RM3200? If yes then I'll definitely consider asking for more biggrin.gif

less than 2 years working experience also can get up to rm4-5k depending on which company u are joining. i'm with EDS btw smile.gif

It's more to which industry you are joining.

i.e. for a pilot, fresh grad, 5 digit?

Agree with kons about salary being industry specific. I think a general perception about marketing in Malaysia is that it's kind of a jack-of-all-trades thing. Notice how in classified ads any Tom, d*** (for some reason its censored) and Harry can work in marketing ("Job requirements: Degree/Diploma in any field" ...........  hmm.gif )?
d.i.c.k is always censored laugh.gif

if u want a proper job, find a good company to begin with. its hard find worth it if u manage to find one.

You are so right! I had a friend, 5 years working experience and manager in HUGE company here, went back to KL and was offered a job with another HUGE company as regional manager. Guess what? Pay only RM5k. For regional manager?! Come on....anyway she jumped ship to Singapore biggrin.gif Oh, and the recruiters were really rude to her, they said "If you're so experienced, what for come back to KL?"

Regional manager 5k only? that is too damn underpaid man...even my senior colleagues who is doing UNIX is earning about rm6-8k doh.gif

It's more like your senior colleagues are earning extra-ordinary salary. I'm working as senior system engineer, have 4 years experience on *nix+*bsd and I'm getting 3K only. The average system administrator/engineer earns 3.5K per month according to jobstreet.
*
well u can't follow those charts in jobstreet exactly one smile.gif

it all depends on experience and how much the company is willing to pay u for ur service. i just got to know again that my senior colleagues aren't small potatos, they're one of the pioneers for some projects outside sweat.gif
