well done. keep it up.

biar mati kebuluran, jangan putih mata.

your salary is P&C and is none of other business.

your expected salary is for them to offer, do not undermine your worth by putting a value.

in any case, i am interested to see the outcome of your tale.

my friend.

if you took any job that came along 6 months ago, you'd at least have 6 months of gaji and epf.

but since you chose to hold your stand on not giving out salary info, and since you can afford it, i suggest you make this an example case study of how one can get a good job without having to divulge p&c info in the malaysian job market.

who knows, your case might be inspiration to many candidates to stop giving out their salary info, and no longer be underpaid.

in the candidate's circle, you will be legend.

typical fail mindset of HR here.

they already have a bloody budget/salary range.

last time i always *** kau those HR who are scared to "overpay". why cant you just assume the candidate was underpaid? why cant you use the probation period to gauge his worth? whats the point of hiring someone "first time right" if you already wrong from the start by using their current salary as baseline?


lets assume OP walks the walk.

1. OP has held his stand for 6 months. if he lets go, all is for vain. the evil Underpaying Employers will win once again.

2. HR job is to make bonus and increment calculations from simple math into complex number theory. Paying candidates market rate / what they are worth, is not HR's job.
