azarimy Are you familiar with the current pay scale in UTM for fresh PhD graduates with give or take one year's teaching experience?

Please do, thanks. I just completed my PhD (in UTM itself) and I'm currently weighing the following options:

1. Continue lecturing at a private institution in KL. I've been teaching here for about 9 months now and they're offering me a permanent position once my current contract runs out.
2. Take up a postdoc contract with one of UTM's affiliate research facilities. This one I'm 50-50 about as I've heard that recent contracts aren't being renewed due to budget cuts, but I really do miss doing research.
3. Lecture under the same faculty I was from in UTM Skudai, or apply to other public universities via SPA.
