I am wandering if anyone in Penang/ malaysia working in a semicon field having better or equivalent pay as i am with equivalent working experience? I am just surveying and see how to go about my career path. . Im okay with my current pay but i wish to do better.

it is rm 480 a month for 10 years.

If u leave the company <10 years time frame, u need to return back every penny they gave u. =_=

If u work within the company for 10 years then u dont have to repay back

yes.. exactly bro.. which is why i took up a flexi home loan plan.. i can dump in extra each month to reduce my principle loan amount which will reduce my interest and i can take out the additional amount i dump in each month anytime i want.

THinking to take the home subsidy and dump in my house.. simply take it out and return to them if i wanan resign.

cheers

haha yeah sucks lo... but i didnt apply yet.. ..

if u leave before 10 years u juz have to pay back whatever amount they given u =D

I have have a job offer with the same role at 5.5k(my basic before was 4.3k) from a competitor but my current company countered offer with 5.8k basic.
It is a rare for my company to be able to counter offer same or higher than the competitor but according to the management
i have the skills to be the candidate for future generation managers. Having to have the recognition shown by the management i decided to stay although the yearly renumeration from the Competitor's are higher than my current comp.
Overall i am happy with my decision to stay and looking forward for future challenges.

Just got my review and hence the update

Yes, i started very low in a subcon manufacturing in semicon industry.
In may 2007 i started with a mere 1.8k basic. worked really hard for a few rounds of promotion.

Jumped ship last year to this new company and enjoying my life now

smaller company tends to give better increment than big mncs if you are a key player but intense working life and long working hours are sacrifices one has to make.

Now that i am with the new company, my increment for the coming years might not be as great as what i had achieved before but nonetheless i will do whatever it takes to get me the highest ratings for my performance appraisal.

yeah.. just work and pray hard lol

definately better increment.. with better increment u will stand better chance for promotion and etc as well...\
The logic behind is that , if you can perform and that your basic is closer to the salary for the next position, you tend to get shortlisted easier.

increment of 2-3% is not even an increment at all!

normally applicable for the guys who gets ranked " needs improvement"

if u get this kind of ranking u also wont get good bonus lah
