Any Sales job with commission 1...?

ceo

fuk all seems so high pay as fresh grad not like the shit im getting..

feel like so loser

management consulting.

strategic management

if u father is datuk

As far as I know, many people reached manager level in Accenture around age 28-29 for consulting workforce. That is 5 figure salary.

that's possible, but u need to work ur ass hard..

SAP Consultant, Linux engineer, pilot

Yeah SAP fresh grad can get 2800 to 3k.. but still cannot beat OnG

Treasury in the BANK..good pay

portfolio manager, investment advisor, day trader, o&g engineer, doctor

platform engineer got high pay but no life...depends on individual

Entering banks' management trainee/associate programs.

sales relating to any engineering product.

Diver for O&G.

Sportsman - Like Datuk Lee CW.

anything related to risk of dying pays more. (police is an exception )

eg. Oil & Gas and Pilot

Billboard advertisement sales

No... only work hard in areas which increase visibility.

Timber industry

after few years SAP can hit 5k salary figure. but nevertheless OnG offshore pays extremely high

From my experience, if any high paying jobs will require you to spend substantial amount of time and effort in what you do. Especially in making decisions and taking risk which contributes to the business side. It's always nice to earn huge salary but the higher the salary goes, the higher the responsibilities are.

As fresh graduates, the common type of motivation to work is more of getting more digits in the paycheck. However, as time goes, people will realize that working is not everything about money. If you have a high paying job but you do not like what you do, you will not last long in the job. There must be a balance between work and life.

Certain type of industries pays a lot because of the risks at work and the requirement of being away from home for extended period of time. For eg., Airlines, Offshore Oil & Gas, Telco, etc. I don't deny that fresh graduates will enjoy the traveling, not to mention about the extra side income you can make from traveling. But as days go by, we will tend to get lonely especially if we are always abroad / away from home. Especially for those married people.

TELCO is another industry that pay quite high but if you're workin with vendor not opetator nor subcontractor. Eg; ERICSSON, ZTE, HUAWEI, NSN. Possibility for working overseas as freelancer are quite high as well.

bt O&G still cannot beats A&P

what is A&P ?

I don't deny that working overseas as freelancer / contractor is good for money. I'm dealing with these people all the time. The figures they make is way more than what those permanent staffs are making. The only problem for them is the endless traveling and away from home. Like I said previously, all these have to come at a price of being away from family. So, for those who are single, this is not a problem.

I don't deny that working for Ericsson is indeed enjoyable. It has a great working environment and the benefits are good too. At least the company treats its employees as humans and not machines. That's why most people will love their job there and many old timers remained there until they retire.

Like your boss' case, it's just a practical example of the extended period of being away from family. No doubt about the huge amount of money a freelancer makes, but money can't buy back the time that we missed out with our family. There's no way we can turn back the clock to let us hold our children's hands and help them to take their 1st steps, read them bedtime stories and pat them to sleep.

I have an engineer working with me who is a freelancer and makes about USD7,000.00 a month but she left her 7 months old baby at home to be nursed by someone else (I assume is her husband looking after their child).

Your Boss loves the money and thus why she allows this to happen. she can either quit and follow his hubby to Barbados (even as tourist, go visit her hubby once a month so). Her hubby can quit and return home since i believe they should have gather lots of money over the years...still not enough???? Yeah, some said to raise a baby till finish uni needs 1 million each....they need to have at least 4 million now....

work shell depo (prai) 1 month basic rm6k, consider high?

but working time is 24 hrs on-call, even on sunday......

Ok lar....since it is on call, not really work. Just stand by your phone in case got call for duty. No call, means no need to work.

Pharmacist:5k min for normal fresh grad..8k for excellent grad

From my perspective, insurance company could have a big potential of getting the biggest price as they will continuous receiving the commission for the next 6 years.

I agree. What's your opinion about Actuarial Science?

+1. I Agree

doctor.

Unless you are a specialist.. If not, a normal doctor (who doesn't have own clinic) earn lesser then call center agents (who get OT and allowance).. True story..

The highest paying job?

Investment bank traders AND self made traders.

A ex classmate of mine took home a paycheck of USD 250k within his 1st year working in UBS as a trader as a graduate (Switzerland)

Also I know someone in greece making at least 5000 euro consistently everyday as a day trader.

I am sure there are jobs that will earn way more but for the 2 positions I mention I know them personally.

How about become a robber of a thief?
RM250k? no problem. easily can get that amount in 1 very carefully plan day.

become kroni can liao

true but that's not a job
that's an affiliation
you can become a company director and sit at home

Last time I checked, flying school graduates earn a handsome 4-figure salary.

it is known as System Always Problem

but it is origin from German , which is know as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung

this is worth serious consideration. Its sad but its the truth too... robbing fr the bank/insured corporate body is much better than robbing ppl on the street for RM300 and risk accidentally murdering somebody..

:: people who know to take advantage on others will make money the most

cardiologist. Rm80K-RM100k per month. I know a cardiologist's SON drives a Porsche

What is the difference with big 4 auditor manager? also can achieve RM100k easily and ACCA is cheaper

Be BRAIN. Ok . That's all i can say with my x english .
Wish you good luck , Pogihajima annyeong

Depends on your perspective.

Good pay-5 figures a month (MLM,Agents,Insurance,High corporate positions)
High pay-6 figures a month ( Exceptional Insurance agents-very very exceptional,basically exceptional commission based people, Investment bankers, Traders-Forex,Portfolio,etc)
Legendary pay-7 figures a month ( Directors,CEOs and also Exceptional Traders)

Btw I have been in commission based jobs and they do pay well but it has a glass ceiling. The highest agents out there probably peak at 2 million MYR per annum. And again you have to be extremely exceptional.

If you really want the highest paying job-it's all down to good old self employment. They can make in one month what the highest agent in Insurance/Property makes a year. No joke. If I were to put a sample size of all my friends and contacts throughout the years. The highest paid are people who run their own business. Second highest would be investors/traders.

walao weih, pls , 100k in audit line is not manager, but partner's salary.

LAME- starting rm7k

so how much should be considered high paying? just wondering...

high pay..can consider like this

if you factory worker for packing chocolate. routine work. same action "pick up chocolate put in wrapper-> put inside container if you get rm 5 to 7 k then it is super high pay.

if you are admin office cum secretary cum receptionist. working not routine work, pick up calls. do all paper work always work from 8 to 5 suppose to go home but have to work until all your paper work finish. maybe at the end up 7 8 or 9 pm earning like rm 1.5k to rm 2k then consider super low pay.


if you work in US as janitor toilet cleaning hallway cleaner, you will earn 24k per annum USD around 2k USD per month.
around rm 6000k will you consider high pay..but in US this is not high pay...

so how can be judge high pay or not?

Not sure if you can make 70k per month basic after 10 years. Normal progression for IB is 3 years as an analyst, 3 years associate then VP. From VP to director at least 3 years but could take longer depending on how good you are in originating deal. From Director to MD will be even harder. If the banks in Malaysia is paying 70k a month for a junior director, I will come bank to KL rather than stay in the small red dot.

As a comparison, for the BB IB, the basic pay is as follow: (bonus has been under pressure in recent years so typical bonus now is only between 6 to 12 months)

Analyst - start from SGD100k to SGD140k per annum
Associate - start from around 170k pet annum
VP - start from around 300k per annum
D - start from around 400 - 500k per annum
MD - basic should start from around 600k per annum but most comps will be in bonus. Total package including bonus in a normal year should be around 2m.

And one not so well known fact is that most of these banks pay global salary, ie the basic is about the same no matter where you are in the world (+- a little for living expenses adjustment). As such a first year analyst (fresh grad) in Malaysia is looking at around RM15k to RM20k a month which to me is grossly overpaid as I can get an experienced SM/AD from a Big 4 or local bank for that amount of money. That being said though, KL is mostly a coverage office and most banks have at most 2 ppl in KL including the senior bankers so it is almost impossible to break into the industry at junior level in Malaysia.

Another not so well known fact particularly amongst young Malaysian is that summer intern is paid almost as much as a 1st year analyst so for people wanting to join the industry, please try to get an internship every summer holiday rather than sit at home playing PS3 and Xbox and partying till the wee hours and then after they graduate, go into interview saying that "I have a lot of passion for IB as I read FT, watch Bloomberg TV every day.... Etc etc....." By the time you graduate, if you haven't done an internship you are too late and will be significantly behind the competition.

+1

Each industry also has high paying jobs! Define high pay? 10k?
Each industry has jobs that pay at least RM10k per month. Well, of course, I would assume that the jobseekers are professionals with tertiary education.

I am in the ICT industry and professionals with niche skills (5 years experiences) could get RM10k per month. But pathetically, RM10k is only SGD$4k in Singapore and that is basically like at freshie/2-3 years exp prof's pay?

With our cheap currency, MNCs are finding us Malaysians cheaper to hire, with the necessary tertiary education (however, not necessary the right working attitude). We are slowly becoming (or has already become) a university graduates production country, with cheap labour costs. Thanks to our government... That's the reason why so many Malaysians left to our neighbours (SG, AUS, NZ, HK) to work. Nowadays, even you can probably earn more working in China, rather than in KL.

Adding one more thing here..
"What are you doing in Malaysia? Go to Cuba, go to Argentina, go to Libya!"
"Everyone in this hall likes how the government treat them!"

Oil and Gas Management....starting pay RM5k....after graduation...

aviation field sucks seriously. u need alot of cable to get u into the field

alot of papers to complete with 75% passing marks
5 years of experience to become an engineer

then u start making rm7k +-

im a graduate and still doing my papers, with 2 papers left
no experience because no one hires me, i'm 1 year jobless ..
seriously i have no idea why... i;ve sent tons of resume already

Profit sharing partner some more!!!

Exactly..i have an uncle who used to work in PWC. He retired at the age of 40+, now moving around the world and currently stays in a penthouse in KL. Audit line, i think, if you have IMMENSED interst, and willing to slog, can really make it real big.. cos once you get to the status of partner, you are not dealing with numbers anymore, but rather with MD/Tan Sri/Tycoon of big companies eg IOI, YTL etc etc....so i guess connections plays a part too?

Engineer gets high pay

Maybe..
Our Universities are churning out thousands of fresh grad engineers every few months.
This causes lots of low paid freshies.

Investment banking is good only if you can survive the hours and survive....well just survive.
There are rounds after rounds of people being laid off. You don't want to be jobless esp when you ahve commitments.
But what do I know, i'm just an analyst

WTF !! Haha. For example Brent Corrigan

tower crane operator... !!!

Selalu Ada Problem...

Nolah.. its a software that is used for procurement, finance, HR.. etc etc... m2c

That is my dream but it is competitive and really sometimes want to give up. It is a game to see who can tahan longest. Sometimes I dunno if tax or advisory in big 4 is better? Do the partners there get more pay? Looks like my no audit colleagues not so stressed and crazy hours.

self- hire boss, you decide your salary, gooding!!!

what university bro?

really?.. "what university?"
lol
