Yes, it is very possible for the O&G sector. But I'm more interested in finding out the salary range for those in the electronics/semiconductor industry. So far for those that I know, even very good ones barely hit 10k in just 7 years, and I'm referring to those top MNCs in Penang.

senior graphic designer with 5 years experience with salary 6k/month consider underpaid or not ?

What's the minimum salary for a PA to managing director?

7K at my office.

What about for someone who has no experience in PA but has 5 years working experience? How much can I request for?

@Juharis
You are very underpaid in my opinion.

thanks..i felt it too..last year my salary only 2900.. not sure how much increment will be for the next financial year..

btw, years of experience counted as :
a) no of years since your start working no matter what kind of job ..or
b) no of years which you are in the particular field ( eg: system engineer)

which one is the correct understanding?

No point risking your health for such job. Salary wise, I think it's OK though I got more than that when I joined my current company also after my internship with them.
If I were you, I won't accept.
It is bad for long run.

oh thanks! i will consider it seriously

Well, try looking out, I believe there are more better opportunities waiting for you out there.
My boss always says, "No point risking your health for your work. Worklife balance is the way, you are not sold to the company."

All the money in the world means nothing if you die before you can enjoy it..

anyone care to share their opinion on my question?

hello may i know what is the common salary for fresh graduate from Diploma of Architecture?

Job Title : mechanical engineer
Age:24
Job Desciption : maintenance
Years spent in company : less than 1 year
Company : Local company
Location: seremban
Industry : secret
Tenure : permanent
Employment Level : junior exec
salary : RM 3k +
benefits: just normal,

Wait till you work in KV area with RM3k salary with high cost of living.

But I cant comment on how much you deserve based on years of experience. If you wish to get out, try to demand higher salary because of your experience. If they really appreciate you, then a bit higher salary at the age of 28 living in Malacca is just nice. I dont think it's underpaid.

It's no harm to try the market anyway.
