Where are you studying now? Based on your description, it should be countries with stronger currencies eg Oz, UK? IMHO, I think is a good idea for you to work overseas a few years to gain some experience, provided that you can get a job there which is quite a daunting task for foreign graduates. If  you are happy with the life there, you can always opt to settle down there permanently.

However, if you decide to return to Msia after a few years, whether Msia employers will offer you a package which equals your overseas salary after conversion, I think it will be a 'good to have' thing. It is possible but difficult unless your skillset/experience is so valuable that no one in Msia has it.

Hi naleh33 thanks for the opinion. I'm in the UK right now and you're quite right getting a job here is absolutely daunting (esp since they scrapped the PSW visa this year) but I am thinking if I really want to stay I can probably start with an internship. Yeah i've always thought that there is no intrinsic value in having worked overseas per se until my friend told me about the employers trying to match salaries thingy... so I just thought I'd ask around.

why not just start apply for internship in UK. be it whether u going to stay back or back to Msia, it's a valuable experience to be added in your CV.

Yup i'm probably gonna do that... the only thing that's making me think twice is the insane cost of living in london. And sadly many internships are unpaid.

I am surprised actually that you said most internship in UK is unpaid.

As far as I am aware, internships/ work placement (being called this in UK usually) are paying £12k - £18k per annum. I was paid £15.5k when I was doing mine last year. It's hard to believe that unpaid internships exist in UK 

Dear master/sifu/ppl, I would like to consult u guys where to start my career.

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

Hi all, from what I know, usually 20-30% is reasonable to consider for a job offer. If I'm asking for 40% will it be too high? I believe I'm currently underpaid.

Thanks.
