Jobstreet has a salary reference.

U know, if ur going to work as an accountant trainee for full time, might as well u go find a job as an account assistant. Just those small small family firms should be enough, some can pay around 1.5k, some around 1.8k depending on ur result and qualification. But most of the time, they need diploma students, but maybe CAT also can.

Okay, guys. Help me out here.

Job Title : Graduate Trainee Program (Finance)
Job Description : Costing, account, bookkeeping, budgeting, basically everything in the finance field.
Years/month spent in company : 0
Company : MNC - Food industry, so huge commercial company, with regional offices and factories around the globe.
Industry : Finance
Tenure : Permanent (starting Aug 2011)
Bond: 3 years
Education: Degree - 2.99 CGPA
Employment Level : Fresh grad?
Experience before joining : 6 month internship in a tax firm, 2 months working in the same tax firm
Salary : RM2.4k
Benefit: Standard (medical, annual leave, insurance), training is all on the company and since Im joining the training program, there'll be lots of training and exposure to different areas of the finance field, annual trips, annual dinners. They expect me to be mobile as I will be shifted throughout asia pacific to their regional offices as to increase my experience and gain exposure to international working culture. And they said they'd pay for my ACCA.

Havent gotten an offer letter yet, but the guy who interviewed me and the boss said that they strongly want to offer me a job in the program. Just that gotta wait till my medical check up results to be out cuz they're in the food industry, so all their employee has to be healthy up to a certain level.

Should I say yes? Bear in mind that I am based in Selangor, and I have a job starting next month (2k for 3 months probation, then after that 2.3k) and the office is just 3 mins walk from my house, but the job offer from the MNC is in Johor, so I would incur additional costs as I'd need to rent a room and probably drive to work, instead of just walking.

And I probably wont get to see my friends and families much as I'd need to be mobile in the MNC. But its a good opportunity, just that currently Im undecided.

So what r u confused at?

I got 1 confirmed job, starting this friday. Office is 3 mins walk from my house, 2k salary during probation, 2.3k after 3 months probation. Small audit firm, basic benefits.

I got another job offer, the MNC in Johor, details as above.

Aih. All u accounting people need to get facts straight la.

I've been to numerous interviews, and this is the average salary

SME family business - RM 1.8k - RM 2.4k
Big 4 - RM 2.8k
Commercial MNC - RM 2.4k

Bear in mind, this is the average pay.

West Malaysia only. Though I dont think East Malaysia should differ too much, probably the small companies would be a little different, but higher companies have a standard pay rate.

And RM 2.8k is not low. If you get a job offer that doesnt ask u to work 12 hours a day for 2.8k, consider urself lucky and accept it.

I have a friend who's a fresh grad and she works for a well known investment bank. 2.8k, but works at least 12 hours a day.

be a gigolo n sell urself

i don't understand the first point

so,im 22 earning around 2K means im above average?hahaha,funny

you guys are still not making any sense to me

if everybody below 30 that gets paid below 10k is above average,then almost everyone is above average

if im below 30 and earning only 1 bucks per month,im still ABOVE average?


what a theory

Ok what....internal audit manager, how many people reporting under you?

Mana tau, I might be one of them hahaha.

You're getting normal market rate. But with night shift, you're above market rate for an AP specialist in a shared service.

Better plan your future carefully. Being in an MNC would be a great stepping stone. You can either be a normal employee in an MNC (as in continue being an AP specialist, and do your usual invoicing, GRN, etc, etc) and in 3 or 4 years, you'd earn around 4k, or you can be a REAL Finance Analyst with 3 years experience and ACCA, and you can easily move on to managerial level and earn 8k++.

Your choice, and your initiative. How do I know this? I'm working in an MNC too, just that I'm not in Shared Service, I'm in Central Finance, Commercial Control, and I know a bunch of people in AP, and they are stuck doing the same thing over and over again - data entry.

P.S - WHO (World Health Organisation) is currently recruiting for Finance Officer for their Global Shared Service office in Cyberjaya. I read the job scope, requirements and job description, and 90% of it is normal AP/Commercial/Financial Control jobs in MNC. Doing reconciliation between ledgers/systems, ensuring data integrity, handling tremendous amount of raw data, etc, etc. The pay is minimum 8k/month, tax EXEMPTED, 6 weeks of annual leave, with United Nation's pension scheme.

Why am I saying this? Because I read the whole job advertisement from top to bottom, their minimum requirements and their "desirable" requirements. It's all things that you can learn in an MNC's Shared Service and Central Finance department. You, if you can plan your future and career properly, would be able to make minimum 8k/month in 3 year's time from now.

Plan your career carefully. There's tons of money to be made in Finance.
