Just want to ask all of you, am I down paid or what?

Go become credit analyst in some bank .. and you be getting 4 - 5k. With your current pay it is not worth to stay after 2 years.

A fresh degree holder now, assuming 23 year old selling credit card can get RM 3000 as basic .

dear Dave,

is it the job scope roughly as same as what I am doing right now?

its different.

From your earlier post, i believe you are support team which help in clearing various type of remittance from internet banking i.e foreign TT wheresome funny customer just fill in wrong SWIFT and hence you guys need to call customer for clearance or cancel the transaction. Am i right? i have friend who work in HSBC for this role.

Credit analyst is a role where people evaluate customer profile and decide if loan can be approved or reject.

I wouldn't let a 2 year experience dude fix my private jet. No way, unless he is just holding the spanar and screw driver for the more experience dudes.

Forex is all about Education, Risk management and Psychological management. Lack of one of this you will not succeed. But a combination of these, sky is your limit.

psychological management is based on own experience/ and will power

risk management is based on education or formal understanding of forex either techinicals or fundamentals, which directly relates to education.

luckily the group the i join, hires foreign experience trader to offer seminars in KL. So many traders, so many strategies, I can choose what suits me.

Also, its about teamwork, i cant monitor the pc 24/5, thus teamwork is important that if anyone found that a strategy signal have been produced, he/she will post on the whatsapp group and anyone can follow the trades.

We really aim high, achieve high.

You are more into own business. Unlike employment, there is no risk. The worst is being fired. An employee can't lose money, but your profession carry a risk which could lose money. But you could make a lot more, because you take risk. I don't think your income can be classify as "salary"

Wow........In KL, salary right.

those who is not a fresh degree holder will be worse.

ok probably salary would not be a right word, probably "income".

Probably climbing the corporate leader is not really my thing. More busines minded. IF you have read/listen about Robert Kiyosaki's 4 quardrant http://www.millionaireacts.com/wp-content/...ad_quadrant.jpg ESBI - Employee, Self-employed, business owner and investor.

being an employee won't make me rich, its sufficient to make a living though, as a business owner i will have to undertake risk to build a fortune. if there is no risk, there wouldn't be poor people, who doesn't want to be rich??

And finally investors, people whoes money works for them.

ermm.. how young are you? degree holder?
