In US, they had two path for career growth plan for each of their employees. One is technical side another managerial part. Although it's totally diff path the outcome salary is not much different. A senior manager earning more or less the income of a senior engineer. Since they're significant towards each other.

But in Msia, sad but tru. engineer is high level kuli. Make sure the company provide OT, Mileage claim and other allowance before u accept their offer cause basic pay definitely not enough. Driving a City? wearing Frogskin and APC? with 3k? bullshi* i'd say

don't get trigger too fast if it ain't got nothing to do with u. i just lay an example of a fresh grad engineer dreams when they start working n earn their own money.

why? my company have an OT rate for all non-management staff. rm35 per hour is pretty decent for me. even my senior engineer colleague still has OT rate. His basic around 9k.

i agree, but u should know how kids these day was raised. especially those who live in urban area and mingle with millionaires kid. how bout a hard working, speak fluent english, o&g engineer whom earn almost half of what other engineers from another country earned but still done nothing less from them. The problem lies in the eyes of the beholder?
