3k - 5k

thanks. I just have basic 1700++ only now

you deserved to get more than what you got now. that's all!

Dipl 5 yrs 3k - 5k is overestimated in his field.

u should get in the region of RM2k++ to max RM3k.

maybe around RM2k++ to max RM3.5k+++ ...

I think RM3k is a cap for diploma level... U need to justify why you are worth RM3k to future employer only...

Some experience perhaps...

must be related lor...

RM5k with 5 yrs experience is engineer.

Diploma, unless very outstanding & capable. But most company would have a salary structure and engineering cant fetch that high.

If you perform and gave a big contribution in the company you are working for, you will be able to get up over RM3k. I doubt you can get RM5k if you are to leave your company at RM1.7k. It is too impossible, unless the company belongs to your relative or close friend punya bapa...

depends on your job scope as well, im doing specification/estimation/quotation/such in architecture related.
office work, come and go sharp, not much pressure, and quite free and flexible schedule. most important is boss are best i met so far.
but 5 years 1.7k is a little bit low, maybe 2.5k-3k.
my senior was paid 3k salary, working for 9 years, with a degree. but please note that he never change job before and the starting salary suppose to be lower last time.

engineering?

dude..don't go kl..u go to shipyard or offshore platform fab. yard..u'll earn much more than you can earn in KL.

nope, more to technical/support/admin.
its like to determine which type of lock/hinges/handle/door closer that are suitable to use in each type of door depends on location for those government project like lrt extension, etc.

i suppose it is something like sales coordinator or sales support.

thanks all dude, my 1.7k is in ipoh... same job same description (review RFQ, specification/estimation/quotation, and also follow up the whole project until delivery), but i had done more than that in current company. furthermore, the company i looking for is doing same thing, is consider a competitor, mayb the customer different

actually you don't need to ask so much, the company you are going to interview will sure asking for your previous payslip, and i think they won't give you too much increase as you got 1.7k now~
you won't get increase like 1.7k to 2.4k~3k, you will only get 1.7k * 15~30% = 1955~2200~

then no point i go to kl, not enough for house & meal

Yes, you have got it right.

Wat if dun give salary slip? Just request the expected salary. Can?

Look at competitors. See if they are in need of people. Competitors pay big bucks for able and skillful employees. Hop to the next job! That's the fastest way to see you growing on your salary figures. If you take your RM1700 salary slip (which is a norm nowadays requested by empoyers) I would most probably offer you RM2,210 (30%). So, hop around for fastest growth in salary.

Actually TS can always justify for the higher increement for the rental and higher living cost... I believe the KL company will take that into consideration... From 1.7k + RM400(rental)+RM600(transport+food)+RM300 as increement? The breakdown is just for ur info and depend on how TS negotiate with the company.

thank you.

I'm working for 18 years now and only get RM5K this year. Diploma electrical engineering, UTM, KL, even i got a competency cert up to 33KV live switching & competent electrical supervisor.

maybe you can try for O&G technician works... but stay offshore type of jobs easily.. 5-10k

i prefer office work

My designer, 7 yrs exp with diploma gets 6k le.... hahaha, how to justify? this yr only 30 yrs old...
Its all about your luck and how you sell urself to the management. i also envy his/her salary.

Going by just qualifications and experience alone isn't a conclusive gauge of salary bracket.

Need to consider what career milestones have you achieved? Someone who have a good track record of achieving targets and being able to make a difference will definitely be able to command a higher pay.

thanks for the advice n support, i agree with you. I got nothing to lose. will send the resume.

My brother has 5 years experience with qualification of just Diploma of IT. He earned 3.5k with standard chartered. So, i think you could get higher than that since you're in engineering field.

my current pay is 1.7k =.="

@nibiahk... Time to up ur market value... Try bargain...

yea, going to

since u hv 5 years experience, u maybe can get at least 3k in kl. jz present the skill u hv and how u present it

TS, you should do a part time degree program, if not you employee will keep on using your qualification to depress your wages especially for bigger company.

after interview, i got the offer 3.3k + accomodation in shah alam,
my current superior on hold my resignation letter, he wants to talk to MD, he hopes i can stay...
in kl, i have more chance to working+study

Can... all depends on how u nego with the ppl mah...

he's good at negotiation and knows his worth lor. if he doesn't have sought after skills, no one will be willing to pay so much for him also what.

my fren last time not even 30yo mthly average is 10k-12k++ also.

+1
during nego, must highlight all ur capabilities and ur advantage over other candidates. even if u don't have the necessary experience, u can still highlight the skillset u have.

sales support?

good going! not a bad offer at all.
that's a good offer and good luck for ur studies!
