fruitie really knows how to manage her time between works and replying the forum hehe

Multi-tasker.
One of the keys to survive these days.

fruitie so u working at kl sentral?? and living in pj???

Yes.
The standard of living in these two areas is so different.
I can have a chap fan lunch at Sooka Sentral for nearly RM 9 and go back to my place (PJ) for dinner, it can cost RM 4.00 for chap fan.
Seriously if don't get higher salary in this kind of working area, I don't think I can survive.

but i think if ur salary is above 3k can survive already la btw u live and work at the exactly same price with me ... sooka foods is expensive but no choices la ... eat until boring already lol

Actually RM 2.5k also can survive but can't have luxury lifestyle.
With this kind of standard of living, I can assure most of the fresh grads who are earning below RM 3k barely have much savings... I know how it felt.

yeah really underpaid!
degree in engineering technology with 2 years in product design field!
really sad..

Try eat in mayflower, cheaper

Of course I know, just ate that today. Already in KL Sentral for the past 2 years.
The problem is my office building is just behind Sooka Sentral, we always have meeting after lunch, so can't walk further.

OK, enough of off topic.

hi guys,
need some info here, what's the fresh grad salary for an event executive? anyone can help?

just wanted to ask, what is the starting teacher salary after attending the Kursus Perguruan Lepasan Ijazah??? anyone know?

anyone know what's the average basic salary for 3 years experience in 3d max?

Yes, it's very common in mnc's, plus they have better benefits too..

My junior got both offers from intel and accenture. Intel is giving 3.4k for fresh graduates with 1st class BEng, extra 200-300 for MSc graduates(1st class)
Accenture is also giving 3.5k for 1st class fresh graduates in engineering. I heard altera is offerring the same amount as intel, if not higher.

Another junior of mine joined O&G vendor in sg, basic + housing allowance + transport allowance = >$3k

That's why, nothing to be surprised about if working in MNCs.
Benefits in MNCs are relatively better, I know that because I'm in a MNC.
Luckily we don't pay new joiners by looking at their results. Else, I'll be few hundred poorer.

can i talk about my mother cuz my mother earns 13k+ from a canteen in construction site per month.. the canteen is not so nice like cafetaria but the earning is wow! and sometimes it can be above 15k.. the lowest she gets is 10k clean.. i really hope i can earn big like her but my future job will not be the same as hers and the salary is quite low also.. =(

Age: 25
Job Title : Application engineer
Tenure in company : 1 yr (entered as fresh grad)
Company : MNC
Industry : Heavy machineries
Qualification: Mechanical
Basic : 2.6k
Allowances : RM300 fixed housing allowance, excess of RM2k for misc allowances
Take home : RM4500 - RM6000 after subtracting epf, socso and tax
Based in Borneo
Bonus: 6 months

What do u guys think? The basic is quite low by today's standard but the allowances boost up my income. Few years from now though, i'll begin to worry as once i'm getting married, i won't be able to travel as much and therefore will have a much reduced take home pay.

What's the current pay of a chef? Commis, demi, CDP , sous, head chef levels.

First time saw Mod in this thread
How much LYN pay you?

MNC got higher basic, small/middle scall company got higher annual bonus (a lot > 6 months i think), so got pros and cons

I'm not employed by LYN la.
I'm in a MNC myself.

Yeah, it depends which type of benefits you are looking at. I prefer higher basic, better for next leap.
