Haha, I see.but for your age with my dream salary..it's normal for me, cause I had seen a lot of them are in the salary range..

We shall see when your time comes but with the current inflation, nothing is impossible.
What is worth 6k today is not what it is in 1 year time.
That time you will ask for more. What is the limit? Sky is the limit.

Yeah don't get me wrong, I was not saying I'm earning a lot. That's not my point la, to me career advancement is more important. You need to understand, I have not jumped a single company before and every year I get 20-25% increment, which is something I appreciate a lot. Though that was last time, now hardly get that much anymore.

FYI, I'm a HR person and HR doesn't earn as much as engineers, sales persons (for e.g.). If comparison is really necessary, it has to be apple to apple, orange to orange.
If you have friends from HR field and if they are still in junior roles, you will know how pathetic the salary is.

Lol, I understand for a HR salary..I got 1 friend in IBM HR salary like RM 2.4k only which is 24 years old now, hehe..

Anyway, actually I aim for salary is depends on my age for any jobs? Because this easier to match or meet my goals in future

HR salary only climbs after 3-4th year onwards. Can easily go more than 10k as it progresses.

You are still very new to working world, so it is normal for you to feel clueless now.
Just work hard and find your passion. Passion makes things easier.

I love my current job, it gives me so much of exposure.
This year I'm given with few overseas assignments opportunities and I must admit I learn a lot.
Next week I'll be flying to Myanmar for recruitment, after that to Beijing for training and probably to Sydney for on-ground operations support.

So, just enjoy and learn from your current job! All the best.

Anyway, Mgmt Trainee is a good program as you get to learn a lot.
Although I must say this, 3k for a Mgmt Trainee in banking line is very little.
My friend was a mgmt trainee for one of the overseas banks in Malaysia and she was getting more than RM 4k as the start, that was 2 years ago.
Besides during her mgmt training, she was sent to UK and HK for trainings, stayed there for nearly a month every time.
But again, be contented with what you have.

Wahhh...4k paid management trainee, btw which bank offering that? Anyway, some might have depends on the offer letter. For eg,tie with contract or free.

The best things for HR as my personal opinion, I guess it's recruitment time...kinda fun and enjoy especially during oversea recruitment, free travel.

More than 4k actually. Of course I can't share which bank is that. I have two friends who were their management trainee, both doing very well now.

I don't usually do recruitment because company doesn't have active recruitment, we don't go out to source for people most of the time, just headhunter or internal transfer. But this time, a bit unique, so we were asked to fly into Yangon to support a mass recruitment.
I'm more on operations side, but my boss proposed me to give a lending hand to the HR business partner group.

You just joined less than a month, yet start to think of so many things.
Still fresh to the company, be a sponge and absorb as much as you can.

congrats bro!
may i know which department youre in? 10k is very high for your age! however the working hours dont seem to be good

I'm parked under the consulting division. Working hours personally dont bother me that much as long as I still get to learn and grow.

Accenture?

Lol not ACN

4+&+?

AT&T pay very well no doubt. I know people over there in their senior management team who get paid upwards in the range of 20k

I think this range is common in senior management position for most big companies. I know people in my company senior management team who get paid 50k monthly.

On your age have 10k it's pretty good...btw, I'm new in career..what usually you do as a consultant? Consult in business? lol.

looks like i have one more organization in my hop list

if i rmb correctly Maybank did paid that much for management trainee

i might be wrong tot

You're also in the telco industry I guess?

Job Title : Audit Associate
Job Desciption : Audit
Years spent in company : 2 months
Company : Big 4 based in Penang.
Tenure : permanent
Employment Level : Audit Junior
Experience before joining : 0 (fresh grad with ACCA qualification)

Am i being underpaid?
Additionally, I would like to ask, how much salary could a chartered accountant with ACCA and 3 years working experience in Big 4's firm fetch in MNC? (just for my reference)

Thanks
