Hmmmm ok yea, let me re-phrase my reply before: Anything that goes into payslip is subjected to taxes and EPF. Anything given out of the payslip is not. My bad.

1. Yes.

2. I've worked both 14/14 and 28/28, I'd prefer 21/21 lol (perhaps cos I've never done that).
14/14 has too short a time off, and takes up 1 extra day off for travels compared to 28/28.
28/28 you'll feel the pinch of being away for too long.

3. Main concern would be being away from family for quite some time, especially for young families, ie marriage in the first couple of years, or with young kids. Next would be not being able to choose when to be on or off, thus missing any special occasions while you're away from home, since there's no leave, unless emergencies.

I haven't been in this field long enough to tell you in too much detail. But I do believe you can do the above switches. I've seen aeronautical degree graduates working as well site engineers and later promoted to drilling supervisors/drill site managers.

I think it really depends on what exactly you do. Wire line, mud or cement engineers, MW/Directional Drillers, tong operators, they all command different salaries. But for general fresh grad engineers I would think can command around RM4k basic + RM200/300 per day offshore allowance?

Added on May 24, 2012, 11:15 pmDo you think everyone can earn 5 digits as he wants? It's really boiled down to many reasons.
Think why many of them aren't earning 5 figures a month and why many people have 2 to 3 part time jobs.

Benefits: Medical coverage, contractual bonus, 20 AL, EPF 16%.. I think that shud be it..

I own related certificate like CCNA and ITIL.. So am I under, normal or over paid?

considered lucky. normally company wont pay more than 4000 for 1.5 years exp. But maybe depends on the company status as well.

That is normal as Malaysians pay are low in general.
However, if you are comparing amongst Malaysians, it is very good pay. How many 30 year old salaried worker are earning RM7.5k? percentage wise it is very very low.

Any idea Grad from Master/Degree/Diploma make any different in consideration of time spent, money and future? Is it worth to study Master in IT field?
Expert please help~


P.s. I love programming and I wanted to learn more on programming. Too bad I can't even afford to pay degree

suggest to start working the moment you get a degree, as early as possible and be aggressive during the first few years of your career.
once you start climbing up the corporate ladder, you will have more time to pursue your masters (power of delegation). By then Masters also will be slightly more relevant to your career.

100% agree

Should I nego more than RM 6k, maybe until RM 6.5k? I believe the company is able to pay more than that...

Advise anyone?

I think I know which Bank is offering you, that's the standard % they can offer.
Either you take it or leave it. If you desperate for the jump, I will advise you to take it.
Take those benefits into consideration as well.

So degree is quite important after all.

I believe degree is the your minimum requirement and gateway to the big jobs/companies/ and etc (you name it).

It's also your best bet. But there are also plenty of unemployed fresh graduates out there.
