@masconan
U are really spending like a king then. I save at least RM900 - 1.3k a month when I was earning 10% less than u. I have OT claims as well though.

Maybe because I got Car Loan monthly that is about RM600 n petrol also. tht why cant save much.

@Masconan
I get roughly RM3.3k - RM4k after OT and allowances claims. I spend RM1.2k on my house installment.. and RM300 on average on petrol because I travel to clients place everyday.

Chances are you are spending too much.

mind tell me wer u graduate from??
malaysia university or singapore??

Job Title : Sales Exec
Job Desciption : Sales (Electrical Field)
Years spent in company : 1/2
Company : Chinaman
Industry : Electrical
Tenure : Permanent
Experience before joining : Sales & Marketing in FMCG industry
Experience before joining : In a way fresh grad (Interviewers said never been in electrical field b4 despite being in sales)
Education Level : Degree
Current Salary : RM 1.8k
Benefits: Petrol (RM300/mth), Car Maintenance (RM300/mth)
Working hours : Mon-Fri (8-5.30pm)

I mean, honestly, is this underpaid? I feel like..... like crap. No commission even if i brought rm200k to company in 2months. =="

Anyhow, side-track abit, can i ask..... Isit correct/ethical if company do not want to accept Medical Certs? My company based in Klang Valley, i went to Johor, fall sick and take MC. Come back KL, they reject my MC. Unfair or acceptable? Regards to all.

if someone is not local, meaning to say that they have to rent a room out there and pay everything by himself, maybe he still can save but i dont think he can save much.

and if u r local and staying wit yr family then you might able to save more if compared to others.

@masconan
Well, view it how you may wish. Your savings depends on yourself. 40 - 50% of my salary is usually gone when it comes in due to commitments and yet I can still save 900 - 1.3k per month. Its really how you spend it.

Local college in Subang... why u ask?

cs i heard other ppl say which university u graduated from will influence your pay..

and most sg company don't look at Malaysia univeristy cert.
This is y malaysian hard to get a job in singapore..
