Office is 5km from my place, flexible working hours, lunch at home, OT once in a blue moon. Report direct to local and Aussie boss.
Wonder if there's any better offer outhere cause pretty bored doing the same thing for the past 7 years...

I think u r doing fine... but 7 yrs in a comfort zone is getting boring...

just out of curiosity but I read a lot of people saying the current market trend is employee's market. Where there are lots of jobs but not enough people willing to work.

But what I see is those employers are paying too low for those jobs. Lower than the "fair" salary. Then they complain nobody want to work lah and that lah. Of course there are exception but let's not talk about exception cases. We talk about generally.

Cause I see a lot of people getting only like below 2k for some support job that is quite technical. I know cause it's my line. What about other jobs or company? Are they offering peanut and expect much work or it's just me?

To me these company are just trying to take advantage of employees and not paying them a fair salary.

Employee market because can pick and choose .. but when comes to salary it will be low compare to other countries with same qualification ..

Oversea investors look at Malaysia as high education low pay country

Your performance bonus and OT is superb!!!
i'd say it's a pretty good pay but i'm not sure bout how's the work load though...
nothing is free i'd say

Take a look at his workhours. I dont think anyone can do it. It must be pretty harsh and I believe whenever a company decides to pay you high, they expect more than what u are being paid in return to them.

U hv rm700 allowance +0.58/km. Quite good . Mileage is inclusive of maintenance.

no one asnwer my question....

sob...

You are over paid, just with 2 years experience, what you expect to get? 5k? or 7k?

Some manager level only getting 4k with years of experience.

haha agree hes overpaid

Conqueror and Singa89

No he's not overpaid. How is he overpaid? He has 3 years experience and he's at 4k. Thats not the highest and not the lowest. I would say appropriate.
