Company : MNC
Tenure : Permanent
Experience before joining : 2.5 years in Wintel / VMware
Education Level : Degree
Current Salary : RM 5K including fix allowances

am I underpaid? based on my years of experiences and my current technology, I dont think so (as previously I focus on VMware, now jump ship to Citrix)... based on needs, almost everybody will say they are underpaid, including me

Base pay is 4200, only 10% increment from my previous company.. but it's okay, as I changed my technology preference...shift, but day shift only.....hehee...MNC in .........

yes, agreed with you..

I always read people posts by saying, "am I underpaid?"

IMHO, it is not for other people to judge whether you are underpaid, or overpaid.. it is up to the person to check whether the income can satisfy the needs of that person. 10K might not be good enough for me, but it might be more than enough for other people.. if you think you are underpaid, so plan your next step either find better offer, or improve your skills, or maybe you want to totally change your career to another that better suits you...

23% increments... what do you think, is it worth for you?

7K or 8K, but that is after convert to RM, isnt it?


Suxiest, do you mind to share your salary fraction, roughly? I mean how you spend for accommodation, transportation, food, etc etc..

for me, with master degree plus all those professional certs you have, you can have better than helpdesk...

Irzani, I just checked Jobstreet and Monster.com.. and to be honest, there are many positions available with your current certificates.. you also may want to check the company's career website (eg: DELL, DHL, HP, CSC, T-Systems) and match those available positions with your profile.

For me, Helpdesk is not the best starting point for you (sorry PhakFuhZai, I dont mean to under-estimate Heldesk-er )...

with all those certs, you may already know which area you prefer most (it can be server infrastructure, ITIL process, Security, networks, yada yada), so go for it... unless you testking-ed your certs, then I cant say anything lah... but eventhough you testking-ed all those, at least you still can know you most interested area...

and as usual, please answers these questions to yourself... Where is the work location you prefer most? do you prefer to work on shift, or normal working hour? can you work on shift? how much is your expected salary, so that you can at least decently survive?

same job, sam company, but is it same job grade? yes, you can nego, no issue there I suppose... but I think you might want to state why you need to get higher pay than what they first offered. please correct me if I am wrong, guys..

Guys, I got a question, a stupid question from a stupid noob...

If I want to get a higher pay (like, 5 figures), which one is better, focus on technical until can become Solution Architect, achieve 5 figures salary, then go to management side, or aim for the 5 figures salary within the management position itself...

you guys got what I mean aa? ~__~

1) yes, they put that requirement.. but that doesnt mean you cant apply... seriously, I did apply for a job requires more years of working experiences than I had, but still I succeed. believe me, try first... Helpdesk is not the best for you... again, dear all helpdesk-ers “A thousand pardons for my words there..."

2) L2, L3 helpdesk might do some remoting, but are you for sure you can be promoted within 3 months?



O cant agree more with PFZ, you may want to apply with Redynamics, Iverson.... ouh, by the way, Redynamics got opening at jobstreet...

4K for helpdesk, thats a lot though.. for me, you are overpaid, because your title is helpdesk... if you are System Administrator/System Engineer, I think you are okay/slightly underpaid....

cant agree with you... although with 10 years of experience, hard to get more IF he is still a Helpdesk... that is the limitation of a Helpdesk, unless he jump out to more technical tasks... just my 2 cents...

you started working at what, 19 y.o.?

20% increment for 1 year experience is indeed high....

well, for me, 17% increments is indeed high... are you underpaid? please accept my apology, but considering you just graduated with diploma, that is a decent salary for you...

you might doing the same thing with degree holder, but they might getting a lil bit higher paycheck...

correct me if I am wrong...

it depends on how good you are... if you are "datang office goyang kaki", then do you think you deserve an increment? but if you are "Most Valuable Staff", the boss will surely grant you with big percentage of increments..

so, which one are you?

are you :-
a) not meet the expectation : you need to solve at least 100 cases each quarter, and you did not meet that
b) meet the expectation : you need to solve at least 100 cases each quarter, and you meet that
c) exceed the expectation : you need to solve at least 100 cases each quarter, not only you meet that, but you come up with a plan to eliminate the cases entirely, thus saving costs. You come up with a plan to automate the process, thus lowering the work effort.

if a, then
if b, you are not yet a star, so cant really demand
if c, yes you are a star, demand as you wish!!!
