fruitie,
move your *** into the new role ASAP...well that I would have tell you right in your face though..ehehe

Where the boss is doesn't matter. Reporting to remote boss is even better because you can show your capability and credibility even more. It shows that you can be pretty much independant. It gives you the flexibility still only you need time to show what you are really made for.

Contract or non contract doesn't matter if your benefit about the same. In MNC contract or not if they decided to boot you out then you are out. Maybe the first 5% chosen from contract or temp staff but in the end it's all about business decisions. Redundancy, cost saving etc..you know the drill

Being in comfort zone far too long is not good in long run. Seeing how you write shows that you are pretty much go getter so you need to go now or the comfortable feeling will slowly seep in

Haha. True true. I got the point very well.

Yes, everyone is so disposable in MNC. I know that too well. Being in recruitment role for the past 2 years, I guess my understanding and grasp on this are pretty strong. So, I do know how hard have my bosses tried to convert me into a permanent. Not that they don't want to but they can't. I'm too junior to be considered with a permanent position. So, after so many years, seriously it doesn't bother me anymore.

Yes, too comfort that I don't wish to move on. I just wish to be static, at times. I still can't get it now because my new contract only officially starts on 01 Jan 2012.

Hi bro,

yes OnG pays really well,and I mean it as most of my family members work in OnG fields, and even my wife also. But my sister work in a construction industry, and she has a really good pay for a goverment servant. They even send her to take her master abroad. Got Business class ticket also, for her whole family worth more than 40K, Dangg..haha.. What I think is that each industry has its own potential. I am not in the OnG industry, yet my salary is far higher from my wife who work in the OnG industry,even she started to work earlier from me ( I graduated late due to repeat some papers during my Uni days, hahaha.. Not so bright after all). The important thing is your speciality bro. When youre good at something, people will surely find you, and appreciate your speciality.Did you know that Telco industry guy also have a high salary?. All industry will give a better pay as long as were keen to learn new things, and improve ourself bro.


Thanks..hehe...

Company : MNC Penang

Tenure : permanent
Employment Level : Senior Executive
salary : RM 5800 Basic
Benefits : 1 month contractual+1-2 month Performance bonus, medical, etc

I have have a job offer with the same role at 5.5k(my basic before was 4.3k) from a competitor but my current company countered offer with 5.8k basic.
It is a rare for my company to be able to counter offer same or higher than the competitor but according to the management
i have the skills to be the candidate for future generation managers. Having to have the recognition shown by the management i decided to stay although the yearly renumeration from the Competitor's are higher than my current comp.
Overall i am happy with my decision to stay and looking forward for future challenges.

just a question, how much can I request, after I got my CCNA and MCITP certs, but with almost 0 years experience in back-end support (helpdesk experience doesn't matter much in this scenario)

petrochemical engineering salary...anyone know?

Would'nt it look unhealthy when the employer view ur resume? I am considering a job hop too but I m in my current job for only one year (previous job less than 2 years)..My concern is how should I answer in a persuasive way when the interviewer ask me "why do u want to look for a newjob, you've been in ur current job for only 1 year?"

How would you answer that? If i say for better career prospect/ career progression, it might not be convincing to the interviewer as he might think one year is too short to have learned all the stuffs...

You need not to worry if you are good enough. I had changed to company A in year 2010 and in 2011 i changed to company B and now still 2011, I'm offered by company C

Doing that. I have passed the CCIE written for R&S. But i really lack the confidence to take the Lab. Current company doesn't seem to want to sponsor so paying USD1500 for the exam along with the airfare/accommodation is quite costly

Still i'll be moving back to a vendor environment once my bond ends so try there then.

Congrats! and you can do it! Well there will always be other MNCs who appreciates talents and take learning and development seriously

Hi everyone, may I know hw much is the salary for a fresh grad. as lawyer? and may I Knw currently lawyer is having a good pay? I heard my neighbour says her daughter as a fresh grad. as lawyer gets only RM 750!!! O.O

@marcus94
Thats because she's doing her "chambering" which is normal. After that they get paid decently.

My ex-roommate back in university just finished chambering and now will start with a proper employment in law firm, junior lawyer. RM 3.2k.
Her chambering was RM 1.5k I heard.
