so.... guys, what should i do? go for the testing side and take another 2 cert or just go in the network side....? thx....

AND remember to ask for CONSULTING

Hey bro... What is the reason you take software engineering in the first place if you are not interested in it? Do not hear what your friend say? So you think that QA testing will fetch better salary.

You cannot expect much as a fresh graduate. Decide your own future instead of basing on other parties statements. There is no easy money in this world.

Anybody had any idea what is the pay for fresh grad QS, QS and Senior QS in KV now? since the properties market are damn good, those stingy Bosses got increase the pay or not? Let see the entry pay for Mech.& electronic enginneer & banking executive is ard 2.7k oledi. Dont tell me the entry pay for QS still hovering at ard 1.5k-2k!
If freshy still getting this pay, please wake up, your Wicked Stingy boss is sucking ur blood
Come out and tell them face to face "GO f*** YOURSELF HARD" you mother f***er

Hello there.

I'm an oversea graduate and I'm a fresh grad.

After 3 stages of interview, I'm currently in salary negotiating stage with a company (a big one, in Damansara Uptown). I'm applying for a Level 2 Tech Support.

I just want opinions from you guys what would be a fair salary for me? Would RM2400 be considered low? Or appropriate?

hi guys i was given the following offer :

Job Title: Analyst Programmer (.NET)
Years spent in company : -
Company: Bank
Exp before joining : 6 yrs
Tenure : Contract
Location: PJ
Basic salary : RM4k
working hour: 9am - 6pm


they don't give any allowance or Bonus, i'm new to the contract thing, was a bit surprise on the bonus as I heard contract staff usually has fix bonus, so wondering is the offer fair?

red4900, 2.4k for l2 tech is loooooooooooooooow..........
i rmb i do for l1 support oso start with 2.2k p/m.....demand for more...

@niclav, Then what would be a reasonable salary? I know my senior who started as fresh grad, started as L2 tech support at Texas Instrument has RM2.6k as his starting salary. Even that, I don't know is that underpaid, high or normal.

Very low pay. I've less number of working years but earn much more than you. But I'm a Java programmer instead of .NET, and in telco industries.

Then you should post your information for he/she to look on.

This might help he/she seek the real monies..

hmmm from what i know is Java programmer usually gets more than .NET programmer...

red4900,
i rmb sum1 of my senior in T2 TS can fetch from a nice 3k and above...
