Whoa! I didn't know that lowyat has something like this. Anyhoo here is mine.

Years spent in company : Just joined

Industry : Semiconductor
Tenure : permanent
Employment Level : Engineer 1 (still under probation)

Cost of living is higher in Penang compared to Ipoh...
if you factor that in, plus your return trip to your hometown...do u still think the additional 600 is worth it?
u still have to pay rental...
well, there r pros n cons....

That's actually what in my mind also, that's why I choose Ipoh.

I have another question, do you think you can raise your salary to 5-6k in 3 years time. Cause I'm getting an offer to further my studies in PhD.
Most of the PhD holders told me that once you have a PhD (Engineering) your salary will be at least 5-6k even when you are fresh grad without experience.

Thanks alot.

Guys, I want to know the job prospect after having a PhD in most MNC/local company; be it the salary, promotion rate, etc.

I would be better if someone is/know a real PhD holder in the industry.

Thanks.
