You need experience before you can be a consultant else who will listen to you?

yup, i understand that. Hence i think long term wise with experience consultancy will be better pay.

But in short term, factory/semicon will pay better, isn't it correct?

@Tiganasfx
nowadays, consultant is just a title. Some fresh grads are also receiving the title.

7 years experience in the same industry/same role?
what was your starting pay 7 years back?

For 7 years experience and you getting that pay? I guess you should start consider whether this is the right job for you.

dont butthurt just because someone earn higher than u

this is just a forum. i can say that i earn rm100000000000000000 annually also. we give comment (ok, not we; they) based on what ppl post. if they want to lie and say that they earn rm10000000000000000 annually, so be it. u gained nth and lost nth from it

PS: ofc everyone will change the real amount of their salary here else it is easy to spot who is in which company and position

yup..no jam at all..

no CCNA or any cert yet. but planning to take it this year.

Analyst programmer roles is like that i thinkl
Malaysia programmer pay is no good

are u sure?

i heard IBM pay fresh grad programmer rm3k

but the turnover there quite high due to stress lvl

popcorn is right, programmer pay normally very sh!t unless can rise to team lead -> IT/project manager

Not butthurt & although this is just a forum, but do post factual figures too (of course without giving your personal details and company name). It is not just handful posting high income (vs their experience) but at least 15-20% of the total replies here. Also there is an instance where a guy boast high income from commission based & try to recruit thread readers as downline too.

There are already many fresh graduates being picky of jobs and these fictitious figures will make them drool, dream and more picky.

thank for your feedback...
back to 7 yrs ago, my starting pay is rm1800, that time i am software developer....
currently my salary is RM 4k+, and it's my 3rd company..

how much is my market value..

i m bout same experience as you, started with 1800 then gradually move to 2800 in 2 years then jump ship at 3200 and gradually increasing to 5k+ which take bout 5 years, but which I think it is very slow.

recently there is a new offer bout 7k. And mostly I m going to sign it .

Getting certifications + upgrading skills are necessary for IT. It is tiring but that's y it is an interesting industry.

@chun202
Definately underpaid. However, salary comes with capabilities. Could your salary be a reflection of your capability ? If yes, then I dont think you can demand more.

People seem to think that the longer you work the more you deserve. It doesn't work that way unless it is backed up with solid experience and know-how.
