normally it's 4k and above for L1 but with some experience required. So I guess you need to be really prepared for the interview and stand out among candidates who has previous experience...Why don't you try Internal Job transfer (I'm assuming you're working in the same company as I am since you're pretty active in that thread )
I have seen many people that got transferred from Service Desk to Back office support (Wintel, Unix, Network) and I personally know a few of them who have progressed well in their career today

lol already throw letter liao

few reasons

- without a fulltime job, I got more time to concentrate in studying for the courses mentioned
- feel that current job is a waste of time, although I can flip the e-book during work hours, but that greatly impact the efficiency
- current salary is not that high, so I can afford to risk losing them for few months without hurting much

And also, for internal job transfer, talk is easy, but after seeing how things going here, I got the feeling that its harder than applying from outside

I won't demand RM4k from the start, got RM3k above as the basic, I am more than happy.. for as long as it is higher than current base pay

So you resign to study what course?

MCTS -> MCITP
and CCNA

Well what I was referring to is to officially apply for the job in the Internal Job portal. Not just discussing with your manager who usually pay lip service. It actually works if you qualify for the job and provided your boss is willing to release you. But since you've tendered , all the best

Job Title : Programmer
Job Desciption : System development and maintenance.
Years spent in company : since 2007
Company : Educational
Location : KL
Tenure : permanent
Experience before joining : -
Qualification : Diploma of Computer Science on 2006, Bachelor of Computer Science on 2010
Salary : RM2500 (plus allowances)
Bonus : Depend on our PM la. Haha.

I want to find another job that suits with my qualification. So, what salary range for expected salary? 20% from my current salary?

you worked 4 years there and your basic is still RM2.5k?

very underpaid bro

Plus allowances dude. Haha, so sad right. They squeeze us but pay peanuts. But, that salary range is for Diploma holder, for Degree holder, the salary range RM2900 - RM3000 only. So, i want to find a job for Degree holder. Any idea what salary range that reasonable?

@genxyz
Nope, I believe even for degree holders for IT programming, 2.9k - 3k is still underpaid for 4 years experience.

Yes, it's underpaid, that's why i want to jump out from this hell. I understand, if i can't perform, then i deserve for that scale of salary, but i manage to finish the project in time, able to work independently or in team, have a good rapport with team and client (not my intention too be proud just want to explain my situation).

Sorry if it's off topic.

it's perfectly fine to be proud of your achievements just keep working on your next jump ASAP or else you'll continue to be in "hell".. like many others, I don't understand why they keep on winning but refuse to act on it and keep getting exploited willingly

Just to update on my latest case, I'll have to inform my bosses on my decision on next Tuesday.

After a long consideration (approx 2 weeks), I think I'll stay and accept the new role.

Salary wise, this wasn't officially communicated to me yet but I was told that I'll get about 20% increment. I'm expecting 4k.

If that's the case, how much should a programmer of 4 years experience should deserve?
I'm just asking out of curiosity.

I think for a programmer , number of years are taken into consideration but definitely not the deciding factor. It all depends on the language you know, platform you've implemented it and hoe good you are.. I'm work in IT line but unfortunately don't have any accurate salary info on experienced programmers..sorry
