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

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

If you are fresh graduates then advise you to choice KPMG.
You will encounter different type of working experience over there .. of course the working hour will be very long .....i believes that u will face a longer working hour.
As for Bank Negara, I'm not sure, well, government company i think it will be more relax compare to KPMG.
my 2 cent opinion

lol. you have no idea how sought after u are if you have experience in bank negara, especially in dept such as the eocnomics dept.
