Anyone with LLB qualifications here??

Anyway, does any of you have any idea how much a person with a Law degree & ACCA qualifications and 5 years work experience in the IT line as customer support, sales & service & accounts; owns own company as a sideline as well should get as a basic salary? Thank you.

somehow I feel that we should save at least 25% of our pay(not for loan payments) depending on our salary scale and increase it accordingly. My dream is to save at least 50% of my salary
LOL

Oh then you should read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" also...

I think you're on the right track kuah, coz many ppl told me, the rule of thumb is that a person should have 18 months salary put away as pure savings (meaning no touch, for emergency + rainy days only). THEN, whateever extra on top of that, can invest - property for low risk and shares for higher risk to have a balanced portfolio.

balance doesn't mean 50%-50%. For young folks, can afford more risk. Older folks nearer to retirement would be almost 95% in low risk aledi.

aiyoh...  blush.gif i know all this but but but... i never practise oso...  tongue.gif . btw i hv not read Robert's book yet... hahaha... my mother sure  vmad.gif me wan ...  cry.gif

I think being a designer you would have to look at things at a few perspectives.

based on the assumption that you are a freelance designer
- Does he want something you have to offer?(This is generally where designers go seeking potential clients, or clients, or competitors testing the market with no clear intention for contractual obligation)
- What is your client's budget and expectation of a design?
- Are you well known? You must understand that generally clients are not design savvy and wouldnt know if you are well known within designers circle. You must be well known beyond that.
- Your Charms. (This is a very important trait as sometimes the client would give you the job even if you are not what he expect)

based on the assumption that you are seeking employment.
- What are your experiences? (This plays a major role as they would probably want to see your portfolio unless you're so famous)
- What do you expect for a salary?
- What is your demand level in the market(how much competitors would want to hire you)
- Do you satisfy their criteria?(Very general)
- Your potential being in the firm for a long period of time or a short one.(Some firms prefer short ones as the cost of hiring you would be exponential if lets say you stay there til you retire in 30 years for a young designer*highly unlikely but occasionally happens provided the firm last that long*)
- The cost/benefit ratio(Normally, the employers who personally interviewed you would calculate this)


Finally your expectations as a designer
- What do you want as a basic salary?
- What are the increments like?
- What are the remunerations like?
- Would the company be able to help you gain enough experiences for your future undertaking?(Applies for young designers)
- How is the work load? (Some company pays you well but the workload is.....*speechless*)


above are generally it. There might specifically be more to the general criteria but I shall leave it for you guys/gals to figure out. smile.gif

the longer your experience, the higher you could demand for your initial salary from a new company of course to a certain extent. smile.gif

Those who work as accountant or auditor or tax in big 4(KPMG,E&Y...)  After getting ur 3 years experience and succesfully become a chartered accoutant, will you continue to work in tat company or getting out to do others?

In my mind, I decide to work in big 4 for about 5-7 years depend i got enough exp then i cabut. U know lah, manyppls dream to get in and it is very competitative to fight for good post.

What sort of business will laku for me to start beside accounting firm if i'm an accountant ?

why d'ya want to leave?
might as well stay a little longer to see if you could make partner by the age of 35
if you can't then proceed to other company.
besides you'll gain more in the sense that a 10 year experience could get you a position of up to CFO or at least a Financial Controller.
