Can i know this remuneration is consider ok or not ok?

So you have 5.5 years of experience in total. Even with the allowances, I think you are underpaid. You should explore other job opportunities and I bet others are willing to offer you at least 4k for basic salary.

I would go for 1 man show rm6k basic.

are u working in KL? i guess not

Is in Selangor.

this is just the basic necessity, but the grass may be greener on the other side...
u decide

Unfortunately, I am. Or are you referring to giftfre?

How long have you been with this company? If it's less than 1 year, I think your pay is actually pretty good for a diploma holder. Diploma holders generally get paid less than degree holders.

Anyway, you can explore other opportunities and see what offers you can get. It doesn't mean you want to leave your current company, but it's always worthwhile to know how much you are really worth.

what is the market rate for finance guy with 5 years exp in a multinational company(manufacturing)?

My bachelor degree is just a PASS degree only.
Am I underpaid? What should I get for the market rate?
Thanks

I am thinking of jumping ship to O&G. Good pay! Good idea for civil engineer?

I started working with this company on 22 February 2012.

I do like to know how much do I worth considering my skills, knowledge, attitude etc.

Nobody can tell you how much you are worth. Your perceived value depends on how employers evaluate you and part of the evaluation comes from your interview performance and soft skills. That's why I said you should explore other opportunities and see what you can get from other companies. IMHO, given your education and experience, 2.8k is actually a generous offer. I don't know if there are other companies willing to pay better than this for a diploma holder who has less than one year of work experience.
