higher pay = higher pressure / sacrifice / risk / responsibility

unless you are prince and the kingdom established by king...
so the prince will become a king too in the future even though goyang kaki in castle now...

if u have higher aim for career, you should get involved in different job scope rather than specialise in 1 field only...
bcos as a supervisor or manager or boss, they should able to handle different issues for whole company management...

as a consultant is more on "talk" but engineer is more on "work"...
but we getting older, i dont think our physical body allowing us to "work" so much...
so either the stress on mental or physical, is your choices...


i still prefer stick with my family member, i think i may home-sick if stay for few months...

anyway, if i got choices i may willing go to oversea for 5 years to improve my skills and back to malaysia later for higher position...

should ask memphisto whether signed offer letter...
if hvnt sign the offer letter, there have still have the room for negotiate but it wont give the good impression on the employer...

refer ur offer letter... usually u can left the company after tendered resignation letter 24hhours...

r u sure underpaid RM6800 @ 28 years old?

but mine just Rm4XXX (basic) @ 28years old

RM4100 @ 25 years old no bad oledi compare to mine...

i owned a DSL house luckily when 2008-2009 before the bubble...
bought the house @ RM300k, but selling price RM600k+...

but my wife share her name along to own DSL, otherwise no other method with my salary RM2k+
buy now or buy later also the same, salary increased - property increased = no differences...

perhaps u can request ur bf to share his name to own a property before bubble again...
but only problem is you having the contract basis job and have the risk to loss job any time and no able to pay for the house instalment...

you means notice for resignation during probation?
quite impossible for it depend on management...

+1

for the age 28-30, should be at least RM3500-4000 gross salary, somemore is contract basis and should be higher pay than permanent staff...

for the age 30, served the company for 3years+ and work as senior level
the yearly increment is about RM0-RM70 is really d@mm low...
of cos depend your performance, otherwise the increment at least RM200-500 if performance good enough to impress the management...

if quahquah always in tip-top condition but ur efforts no appreciated by company, is time to jump away from hopeless ship...

you can't compare with fruitie as she is contract basis (if no mistaken) which is higher salary and may lesser employer benefit... hence more hassle as may loss job anytime and difficulties to apply car&house loan if under contract basis...

as age 26 @ RM3800, seem average but slightly underpaid little bit if your company no provided other allowances on top of your salary...

if there have the company trying to dig you and join to their company, you will get good increment in between...

i join my new company recently as the most of the staffs there knew me for the last few year due to email cc there and here and phone calling... hence i went for meeting at customer site with another vendors past few weeks ago, the vendor asked me whether want to have a try for interview as they looking for replacement now... but most likely i won't attend for interview even though invited me as i know they may no able to offer better package than my current package...

my advise: get to know different management staffs from different companies more, there have more opportunities if there have someone out there know your capabilities fit into their company...

also another disadvantage of contract, the company may kick u away anytime without compensation and may in deep shxt especially u having on-going car loan and house loan...

for short run, contract is good for non-family worker and tended to get experience from different industry field... but no good for family worker as they have to afford a lot of monthly expense...

they trying to reduce the staff turnover by using the 6month bonus and it happened to most of company...
such as my previous company giving out 3+ months bonus per year but the bonus splited into 3 times per year...

but it is good money that 6 month bonus... basically u earning more than RM5000 per month if u included bonus into your salary (if still paying 6months bonus according to your latest salary) which may higher than any contract basis staff...

also depend on your total bonus provided & company benefit covered, such as some company cover for transport allowance (even for admin / financial staff), car & house loans subsidy, dental & optical subsidy, etc...

you have your points...

but the truths is, most of well-known company no prefer to hire SPM, diploma level nowadays even though without any working experiences to maintain their company's status level... but only well-known company have bigger room for growth and learning and able to focus on particular tasks rather than working as kuli at small company...

unless u get the experiences from company and establish your own business then may different story...
