The pay is neither high nor low.. but coupled with the benefits you have a pretty package Wonder when will I get there. Its such a long journey and I'm just starting mine.

Salary can rise up to RM9K+ with just 8 years of experience, it's pretty good indeed.

Im doing the site survey and acquisition for telco tower which all sites located in sabah. total have around 50 sites or more for this year. so far i had done survey + acqu for 7 sites. 40% increment only after 1st tower erect from site which must be before end of april so working hard to make sure it is really happening or else no increment.

I would nt be asking here if I have an idea about the position and industry. Any way appreciated your comments

Your time will come.. be patient
I hope it will be another starting point to me as well... yet to decide ... headache

@sunofabeach
Am I right to assume you are still studying?

Anyway, if you are looking for answers, provide sufficient details in order for fellow forumers to help you.

Indeed I am still pursuing my degree. I know there is no solid answers for my questions, was wondering if someone could share the point of views so that I can roughly have a better insight on fresher pay Malaysia.

So far, most thing I heard is still not very convincing . .

How come there's no auditor/accountant sharing their salary here? Please someone share it as I'm deciding to study account soon >_< I'd like to know how long an accountant/auditor have to work and how much they are paid, thank you very much ><

@sunofabeach
then I'll cut you a break. Since you do not have working experience yet.

Fresh grads pay can start at 1.6 - 4.5k.

RM1.6k jobs are mostly found out of Selangor/ KL although there are still companies that pay that amount in selangor / kl. Generally degree jobs should pay between 2.2k - 2.8k assuming you are an average performer.

Jobs that pay above 2.8k usually are management trainee programs / jobs that require you to be offshore / or if you are the best and manage to management consultancy firms like McKinsey (USD3k starting pay in malaysia), Boston Consulting, etc.

IT role standard pay (Not designing job) RM2.2k - RM4k
Finance pay is pretty standard. RM2.3k - RM3.3k
Engineering (Not Oil and Gas) RM2.2k - 2.8k
Engineering (Oil and Gas) RM3k - RM7k

All the above is based on degree qualifications. Anybody, please feel free to correct me.

AFAIK, rough rough average.. if is to compare EM-WM

when WM
Certificate = RM1000 - 1200
Diploma = RM1400 - 2200
Degree = RM1800 - 2500

EM should be
Certificate = RM600 - 900
Diploma = RM1000 - 1200
Degree = RM1200 - 1500

@kittychan

errr why do u wanna change into a Call Center environment from R&D engineer?

@kelvin chan

I can't find a job with a good salary in Malaysia as an R&D engineer. Besides that it seems that Malaysia doesn't offer a lot of R&D jobs.

Correction

Engineering (O&G) RM3k - RM7k

@Brc
Ahhh forgot to include offshore yes.. 3-7k then.

my friend who was working with one of slb segment got USD3k++ for basic (before layoff "beramai-ramai")...I dont know now...

@meonkutu11
As much as we are hearing that, I dont think there has been reliable information on it so far. Which is why I was dubious. But nevertheless, that can happen in the OnG industry

Is my current 12 months workplacement with Kellogg's Great Britain not considered as working experience?

Not sure what is that but the way you mentioned it, it seems like internship? But 12 months is pretty long.

Yes that is what you call internship in Malaysia.
