I see that some of you are very lucky. When I freshly started to work, I was paid rm908 only. After EPF etc .. dapat la RM890. Nowadays RM4.5K for fresh graduate. wow.

All I can advise is. try to focus on the field you are in to. If you in to automotive/IT/etc, try to focus on the same career path. Yes, The first 5-6 yrs the salary might not be as rewarding as those who like to swap job frequently but as you gain more experience, the industry would notice your capability and in the end the waits is rewarding. Yang bulat tu tidak datang bergolek. It took almost 11yrs for me to get where I am now. I know some got it even faster then me but never give up. That is all I can say. Only my 2cents. Salam
