Nah, no issue la. I'm a happy-go-lucky type, I'm happy that I earn more than enough (of course the more the better ) for my personal consumption.
About BF, I was obviously joking. Nowhere I'm going to share buying a property with someone I'm still unsure, that has to be my husband or at least fiance.

Eh, the BF part I was joking la. To me, my career matters the most now.

There is and in fact quite common.

There is, some don't even require to serve any notice.
How nice but my company is 2 weeks la.

Actually oh, 4-5% increment is very normal in MNC.
Because their basic is already high enough.
I got more than 15% anyway, I'm in a MNC.
Reason being? I'm a contract basis employee. Else, I'll be stuck to 3-5% only.

It depends on companies.
The current company I'm working for, we don't consider people who rejected our offers before.
But we accept rehires.

Yes, the average salary for a fresh grad. Though, some industries have started to give 3k - 3.3k these days.
I got mine at 2.8k in 2010. Not from cement industry, from telco.
Still, salary is not the only thing to determine if you are accepting the offer or not.

Erm, yes? What's the problem?

How much is your basic now?

I thought I asked you, how much is your basic now?
Also, your position? What is your employment level? Employment type?
Fill up the info as per first post then we should be able to advise.

Title is just a title. My boss is at managerial level yet her title is just a Consultant.

What matters more is the salary and yeah her pay says it all.

To me, monetary is the most important thing for me. I'm safely to say I'm earning quite comfortably for just a puny potato Exec.

RM 18k per month. 14 months salary means 2 months confirmed bonus.

Different job scopes, different risk, different nature of work, different background.
Of course it pays differently as well.

As I mentioned before an engineer at the same age as mine, started as fresh grad just like me but earns about 50% more than I do now.
He is an engineer and I'm a HR person, same industry, same company.
I'm earning 4k, he is earning nearly 6k now.

He's a Network Planner Engineer.

I think just got it after joined us last year.

Overseas most of the time, Malaysia only for one customer.
Nope, overseas allowance is excluded.
The amount I mentioned is for his basic + fixed allowances.

Do you have any payroll background?
Recruitment? Talent management? Or any HR specialised field?

FYI, I'm in HR field as well.

To be honest, that's really difficult if you would like to seek for better opportunity. As you do not have bargaining power, I'm sorry to say that. If you Senior is willing to teach you, then please absorb as much as info that you can.

Let me briefly tell you my experience in HR field. I'm in my 3rd year now.

Right after my internship with this company (a MNC), they offered me a contractual post and my work for the past 2 years was very much into training & development, recruitment and little bit of compensation of benefits. However, during this time, I have showed to them my initiative to learn and this is proven by my performance. Though I'm not a higher performer but I think I fulfill my boss' requests all the time.

OK, then this year my role is changed again and I'm now a pure HR Generalist. Having said so, I took up payroll as well. Though, our payroll is outsourced to third party but I'm expected to deliver 100% accuracy with 0 error. Heavy responsibility but I took up the challenge. I think I'm doing pretty good as last month was my first month doing it but I have discovered few mistakes done by my predecessor. They thanked me for such discovery else it incurs more costs to the company.

My salary change: 2.8k (2010) > 3.5k (2011) > 4k (2012)

My point is opportunity is everywhere, you can grab but provided you have the substance to convert this opportunity into a valuable one.

If fresh grad also no issue, 3-4 years to fetch that salary, justified in O&G.

You didn't see the experience?

I'm also considered senior now, 3 years already.

Sales role is different. You put in more effort, you gain more,
