is this a good improvement for me?

my previous job salary+allowance was RM2900, as a service desk agent

the current new offer would pay me RM3300, the job is more on IT executive, which is very different than the service desk job before

total work experience since graduation from uni was about 1.5 years smile.gif

btw, I got an MCITP Server administrator certification

Another reason are, when your increment or promotion. It will base on your basic, your allowance be excluded in the calculation.  shakehead.gif

yes, it will be akward to demand for higher basic salary when changing job next time

certain companies HR will say "your allowance from your past company is just an allowance, we don't pay allowance here, since your last basic salary was RMxxxx, so we offer you RMxxxx *1.10" doh.gif

We cannot compare salaries using merely its face value. There are many factors which determine salary even within the same industry. Here are the 10 most common criteria:

1) Location (local, outstation, overseas, remote regions, conflict zones, office based, site based, etc)
2) Work scope and responsibilities
3) Working hours / number of working days
4) Authority limits
5) Size of downline staff team / direct reports (management positions)
6) Travel requirements
7) Job coverage area (local, regional, international, etc)
8) Experience record
9) Records of achievements / results (management positions, financial, etc)
10) Professional certifications / memberships in recognised professional bodies

There are also other criterias which may be taken into consideration according to the company's needs.

location-local small office, no travelling needed as all servers can use remote access, free parking provided

scope- less than 200 staffs, a few company servers, and several web servers hosted in vendor datacenter

5 working days, 9-6pm, always leave on time, sometimes come in abit late too due to wake up late, jam, etc

due to some servers are hosting the website, so the impact could be significant as the site could be down or perform slowly

I am degree holder in Computer engineering, and MCITP certified. My previous job was a helpdesk.

I intrigued by the fact you have MCITP Certification, can you share which specialization you for MCITP Cert? I believe that most of MCITP Cert earned very well, have you tried applying another company which you can utilized your MCITP cert to get into a better and well paid job.

p/s: I'm very interested to pursue my professional certification until MCITP because industries will much more preferred candidates who earned Professional cert and along with university degree for better career journey.

my MCITP is in Server Administrator, only need to pass 2 MCTS and one Pro exam, it is not hard at all

still, people will see your experience to determine how much you re worth for

these certs only entitle you an entry ticket into the job field you desired
