I started with RM1.5k in KPMG and now earning more than RM140k per annum and FYI, I am still partying in Zouk and occassionally you can see me hanging out at Tom, d*** or Harry in TTDI (so not too old yet!!  icon_rolleyes.gif ).  And I have been travelling to countries like New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mauritania (North West Africa) and now currently writing this from Pyongyang, DPRK!! All free travelling due to my work with KP.  It's all about the question of short term pain and long term gain.  thumbup.gif

It's already an understatement and I never said it's impressive.  Anyhow, if you average out the hours in audit, it's short as ppl tend to forget about the offpeak seasons...

what off peak?.. tongue.gif never heard of tat..

I have friends in IT line, earning RM16K at 35 years old, some already RM10K at age around 29.

Perhaps different line, different salary range. Take no offense please.

Your friends share their P&C information over a teh tarik or something?

My general feeling is that friends who tend to freely tell their salaries... usually don't tell the truth. A lot of peer pressure around the mamak table.

Earning more than RM100k/year is definitely NOT average. Don't think just because 2 out of 200 people you know earn that much, while all the others don't disclose their earnings, means that is average.

Besides, they could be lying. I know liars are a dime a dozen in m'sia.

Whether is rm140k at age of 37 average or not depends on how u define the population. If put int he context of the whole population of Malaysian, it can be said as way off the chart, definitely above average if not rare.

But, if u define the statistical population as those with degrees and above, I would hazard a guess that it's uncommon, though not average.

But, put as this thread is about whetehr should TS choose Bank Negara or KPMG and enter as an officer/exec level, we should define the the context of population as those with the capabilities to enter these and firms of the same level (namely MNC, big 4, GLC), namely those with professional qualifications and/or thos ewith second upper degree and above.

In this context, gaining a total compensation of 140k ringgit at 37, which is after 14 years of working, can be said as average.

P/S: This is in no way meant to degrade anyone. I just wanna point out so as to let TS ppl make a proper choice. There are mor epeople who are in audit than Bank Negara, and since audit is a good career after all, it wont be suprising to see there are more posting here saying audit is a better choice, etc etc and this might clouds other young aspiring graduates' judgement in choosing their career path. Not ot sya one is better than the other, but I just want to point out that compensation given by audit firms are just on par with other firms, not too great, not too lil

Your approach is good as you pursue the facts. But it somehow becomes an unpleasant reply to someone who actually unable to post up the persons' pay slip.

I am not here to argue, just to share the fact. You don't have to believe if you don't want to, but what I said stand valid. Let those who believe me, believe.
