One thing i will tell u is that your results have little bearing in your working life. You can have a 1st class honors degree but that will not guarantee you a good working career. Its all about how well u impress in the interview and how you manage your professional working life.

The degree you get is only to grant you permission to work.

why bond you for 2 yrs? normally we gte bond because the company pay you $ or invest on you, e.g. signon bonus, provide your external training and etc

He is in CONSULTANCY not CONSTRUCTION. Consultancy pay is low. Construction pay is not.

A been asked to join in few training session which it cost $$ for the company. Furthermore they obviously don't want the competitor just to grab me after i had completed the training as well. that would be the good excuse to me by the person in charge.

I just concern on the bond part, which will later sink me in and never let me growth in my career path since I'm commit. What i should be aware and make my self clear before sign for my offer?

Construction line pays well. It all depends on how high u wanna reach and your drive. But ure not in construction. U are in consultancy. Big difference. You get paid less since u enjoy the aircon and 5 day work week. Construction is tougher and you must be preared to sweat. BUt after a few years, ull reap the benefits when you climb the corporate ladder.

Earning 3K per month in your 3rd year is considered ok for your line of work. I know friends of mine who are only earning RM7K after 11 yrs of working. So dont complain. Focus on improvig yourself and getting the neccessary working experiences and in time u will reap the rewards. If u want an easy life early on in your career while expecting high pay, then ure in for a hard time later.

I started off with a RM1500 salary working 6 days a week. But i worked hard and didnt complain much. In 5 yrs i was already earning RM 25-28K (tax free) as an expat in Indonesia.

Why do a currency conversion? You are working in NZ, earning in NZ and spending in NZ so everything should be compared using NZ dollar not converting it to RM. You only convert to RM if ure a tourist or when u bring back your NZD to Malaysia. But for comparison of salaries the currency doesnt matter. Always compare apple to apple.

Your over RM 300K per annum salary is equivalent to over NZD$ 122K which adds up to about NZD$10K per month. This is the same as earning RM10K per month in Malaysia which is normal for a person with 9 yrs experience. Plus u dont get yearly bonuses which is a minus. Your benefits are about the same as any Malaysian company here. MAny MNC companies in Malaysia actually offer better benefits.

you have been working there for 3 months, i assume you know well about their working culture and their style. Do you think this is a good place to work? And how about the training provided? worth it? If you think these 2 are ok, then 2 yrs should not be a problem. unless you already plan to jump to another compnay after 1 year, then another story

Well thanks for that. Since i already told earlier, past 3 months i been in this company, the culture and the training provided is really helpful + my colleague guide me well. Moreover I'm not planning to shift to new place since im a fresh grad and its just 15 mint from my base plus NO TRAFFIC JAM...

What is in my mind;

Does bond with the company that we working with will result same as we has no freedom to take any decision or another word "restricted to come up with my own point of view?"

As a permanent staff but attached to 2years bond usually will only avoid me to RESIGN? Other than that what are the matter do i have to be clear on this?

You still can resign no matter what, but the problem is how you settle it with your employer, normally you need to pay back

Please refer to your employment letter, it should be clearly stated under your "Termination" section if not wrong.

Just to share for my case. I have been given 1.5month sign on bonus when join the company with condition that i need to servce at least 18 months. if i want to quit < 18 months, i need to pay back the prorata bonus

How much would a software programmer earn if he were to work in a company like HSBC?

which company is this? sounds real good. please PM if you do want to tell out loud

@jutamind
I believe the company in question is AtQuest (based on the 2 year bond). If it is, good luck to you. You are going to need it.
