I'm thinking the same too... thanks!

I dont know about you people encouraging youngsters out there.

Myself would nt say things like this to youngsters. Everyone knows the fact working is not easy, but at least letting youngsters begin the career and learn all the way with confidence. Sharing experience to youngsters is fine, but depressing them at 1st before they even have the chance to experience it. . I think that is not quite a right way.

Anyway, that's just my thought,again I do not mean to challenge anyone in here.

@sunofabeach
Malaysia cannot be compared to wherever you are (I think UK ? mentioned in earlier post?). Working in Asian related countries, you are always expected to work hard (Our auditors in Malaysia sometimes work 70 - 80 hours a week or more).

Politics exist everywhere even in the country you are in right now (maybe not so extreme but it still exists). It depends on how smartly you play the game. Hence why some people say street smarts is more important than book smarts.

Not all industries are that scary though.

p.s: I was thinking getting a part time job as a guard. But one of my friend said I could ended up dead alone doing my rounds. He recommended me to get a part time job as a bouncer instead. Hmmm...

U mean he is over qualified for the job?

Monetary matters could be secondary for certain people. There are other variables to be considered. Oh, the catch is, this is Malaysia. LOLZ!

yalor normal pay n little benefits...i already tender letter lor..now looking for jobs..anyone wan intro me??

Hey tntdiablo, if u don't want ur current job, perhaps you should introduce me in for ur position replacement.
Here is my current job description

Age: 23 (younger 1 year than u)
Job Title: MIS Executive (u become Senior IT for 1 year + only  not bad!)
Job Description: Analyst Programmer (Develop & enhance business application) + Support (Weighing system, Planner, Production and Warehouse) Work like a cow Programming + Support
Years spent: 1 years (ngam-ngam this month)
Education: Degree in Computer Science Majored in Network & System (Not even related to programming at all  )
Company: Public listed Manufacturing company (conquer 70% of waste paper market in Malaysia  )
Employment Level: Still as a MIS Executive (chances to get promoted very little  )
Experience before joining: None (but have successfully develop 5 major project for the company without any help from the senior, I'm just freshie only!)
Gross salary: RM2.1K ONLY + NO ALLOWANCE + NO PETROL EXPENSES + NO TRAINING PROVIDED + ALL BENEFITS GIVEN TO SENIOR ONLY
Working hours: 8am - 5.30pm (longer 1/2 hours than u  )

If u in my situation, I bet u will run away already, but I'm still working with them, Why? Because all my application been rejected!
So consider to give me ur current job to me?

Well, all the projects that I've done was all about programming, I don't like programming so much as it was very exhausted , I wonder how many of my brain cells already dead, and yet my pay is not equivalent to what I've contribute. FYI, there is no feedback from my application because all the jobs that I applied not related to programming. I decided to stick back to what I majored in my degree course (Network & System). Perhaps my experience in programming does not help me in applying job related network or system.

As I joined this company, they told me I just need to do support for planner and production site only. They even told me I will have the opportunity to handle company server and network. That's why I'm agree to work with them and was so naive at that time .But all these are scams to attract me in with all sorts of hu ha. After I was confirmed as permanent staff, my scope of work getting broader, from planner -> production -> warehouse + programming for new project. Oh my...really work like cow.

Yup, my salary still RM2.1K, my department head is a very stingy guy, he likes to help my company saving a lot of money, feel like all the company assets are belong to him, that is why I'm hired with such a low pay as programmer. My bonus not even 3/4 of my salary, and the reason is I'm still a freshie, what to do, freshie is just a freshie  , u cannot outperformed the senior.

All the project assigned to me mostly done by myself, only get an advise from senior instead of help. Maybe they feel threaten as I'm a fast learner and everyone is manning their own bowl of rice, who will be so kind to help and get kicked at the end, that is the reality and I learned from it. But my patience do earn me an experience in programming which is not my field of expert.

I just got promoted to system executive, any comments?
I still feel not enough since the cost of living in city are so high

Haha, I would put it as extremely rare. I have a friend who graduated from MIT 3 years ago, indeed a gifted programmer as he  graduated as one of the top in his class and his starting pay in a consultant firm in KL is around 4.5k. He is 28 years old now and his earning is around 8k which is still way behind those LYN "gifted" member who just work for 2 years and can command 10 k salary. Some might argue that degree does not means anything but let me tell u this, my friend is one of the most hardworking and smartest guy I have ever seen and he also good in socializing. So I see him as a very successful guy for manage to achieve 8k salary within 3 years but when I checked LYN forum, I got a shock of my life with all those NUMBERS.

Sometime fact and reality just won't let us to remain innocent and naive.
Feeling of underpaid in a way can drive them to achieve further in their work. But ppl usually go for job hopping.
ps: I am not a bro la. haha
