Thanks

reason im asking is because im offered a job (RM4k basic) but no allowance/commission
secondly it is a new field and not really related to my current field. was thinking about the offer

I hate working. How I wish no need to work but got income coming in. Very stress and tension when working...

Is it normal for me to ask for 2.8k for my upcoming interviews? I have 1 year working experience, degree holder, applying for Junior Art Director.

Im Getting 3.2k as a graduate trainee.with 1 year contract basis.Then only permanent.Is it ok?what do u tink?

Permanent or contract these days doesn't matter. You don't need all those benefits also. For me I rather take cash then getting benefits.

I've been contractor for most of my working life.

Only thing is taking loan with bank a little hard. But you can always ask your agency/ employee to write you a letter for loan application.

@hhiter
assuming ur a fresh grad, the pay is competitive

Which field? Engineering?

yeah. i just graduated recently. will be my first job =)

HCL-Axon?

nope. Its one of the oil and gas company...

IT helpdesk can get so much salary for level 1?

high salary but not good if you like to continue technical job in future

Years spent in company : Will start next month

Hi guys, just want to get some insight in regards to what is the average pay for fresh grads with a major in business IT.

To clarify:
I'm still undergoing my studies ( degree in Business IT ),
because I major in Business IT, programming is not really my forte so I feel more comfortable doing consultancy or analyst jobs.
I was recently called in by Ricoh for a job interview ( reminder, I'm still studying ), so I'm only gonna start working in September, with a pay of RM2.3k.

The other day another company called up but I told them I got this job already, and they asked me my salary n they told me RM2.3k is low, and that I can still change my mind n work with them as a Business Analyst.

Is this true? That RM2.3k is low for a degree graduate?

*I took the job at Ricoh because they told me that there would be a lot of space for growth (i.e., I still can learn while working, going for courses, learning more things), and besides that, this job does not require programming, and I find I can utilize my strengths in this job (communication skills, troubleshooting skills).

Could someone gimme some feedback please? Thanks in advance!

Your future company HR so nice even told your pay is low (actually not low just normal), so how much they going to pay you? > 3k?

Just go for Business Analyst (BA) job if you like these kind of job, as for me althought i'm certified BA (but not qualified ), i prefer to be System Analyst
Because i like technical/programming more

Hello tq for ur feedback.

I'm not really sure how much they're gonna pay because when I asked, they said "go for the interview and you'll know".
But what really shocked me was when they commented that RM2.3k is low, that's why just wanted to know.

But thanks for your advice n feedback!
