A been asked to join in few training session which it cost $$ for the company. Furthermore they obviously don't want the competitor just to grab me after i had completed the training as well. that would be the good excuse to me by the person in charge.

I just concern on the bond part, which will later sink me in and never let me growth in my career path since I'm commit. What i should be aware and make my self clear before sign for my offer?

you have been working there for 3 months, i assume you know well about their working culture and their style. Do you think this is a good place to work? And how about the training provided? worth it? If you think these 2 are ok, then 2 yrs should not be a problem. unless you already plan to jump to another compnay after 1 year, then another story

You still can resign no matter what, but the problem is how you settle it with your employer, normally you need to pay back smile.gif

Please refer to your employment letter, it should be clearly stated under your "Termination" section if not wrong.

Just to share for my case. I have been given 1.5month sign on bonus when join the company with condition that i need to servce at least 18 months. if i want to quit < 18 months, i need to pay back the prorata bonus

Disagree with your 3rd statement. Experience and learning curve is dependant on the company itself whether is it SME or MNC.

Speaking from SME perspective, where you are required to do the work of a few people and at the same time achieve outstanding results for the work in your own job scope, you definately learn and experience more cause you get the bigger picture.

Hence, the reason why many complain that SME's are mostly china like companies and overwork you because they cant afford to hire more people. This is where they miss the big picture. The learning curve and experience beats anything and everything else. Even SME's have the chance to gain international experience FYI.

Agree with Kelvin. For young people, i would suggest to join small company. From there, normally is "1 leg kick" and you learn alot which i dont think you can learn from MNC. Better to suffer in early age then have a better future later.

MNS sounds nice, but most of the time you are doing nth or wait for someone due to procedure or too many dependencies to finish 1 simple task.
Just my opinion and my experience, may not same as others MNC cool2.gif

I totally agreed with your statements.

Although I am in MNC now but I hope to change back to somewhere allows me to hold full responsibility/involvement and hands on for the tasks. While I started work in MNC, I felt like my life is 'meaningless'...!  biggrin.gif

Yes, i have the same feel as you. feel like useless. not like in previous small company, i felt myself so usefull and make alot of contribution.
now just like an old folk waiting for retire whistling.gif

i was worked as web developer.
entitled as a freelancer with pay 2.3k.
is it worth or not?
i had experienced in flash developer for almost 4 years.
and 1 year in web programming.
since i was a freelancer~ there is no EPF, no SOCSO, Leave any time i want.
no allowance.no here. no there.
should i find another job?!
*
I thought freelancer charges per job? why you have a fixed salary? Is it you need to work from mon-friday as well?
from what you written, you have at least 4 years working experience, but you only get 2.3k per month? do you still have another fulltime job?

FYI, as a freelancer, i charge my customer around 600-800 per man-day. e.g. if the job requires 30 man-day to finish, i will charge: 30 X 600 = 24k. So if i can finish the job with 10 days, then my daily salary = 2.4k smile.gif. but this is not always wink.gif

Would'nt it look unhealthy when the employer view ur resume? I am considering a job hop too but I m  in my current job for only one year (previous job less than 2 years)..My concern is how should I answer in a persuasive way when the interviewer ask me "why do u want to look for a newjob, you've been in ur current job for only 1 year?"

How would you answer that? If i say for better career prospect/ career progression, it might not be convincing to the interviewer as he might think one year is too short to have learned all the stuffs...

You need not to worry if you are good enough. I had changed to company A in year 2010 and in 2011 i changed to company B and now still 2011, I'm offered by company C
