Everyone feels like that too *everytime

it seems that the current pay for freshgrads do not see much improvements these few years, still remain stagnant from RM2.5k-RM3.5k

meanwhile property pricing in Klang valley has skyrocketed 100% in just 2-4 years, some of you might suggest to rent first, but hell rental also raise at the same time, a 3 room apartment in KL costs rm1k++ to rent

Too bad, these only hit very hard to city fellows. Those in rural area remain the same.

Standard of living keep increase, but the salary remain the same for years.

8 hours is indeed normal.
But some jobs just cannot be done in 8 hours and/or runs everyday of the year that they need you to work for 12 hours or more.
And usually you get compensated with overtime bonus or something else.
I have to work on 12 hour shift daily. Excluding 1 hour of handover to the next person. No rest time.
I eat while doing the job and toilet breaks has to be quick so as not to miss any parameters on the job.

But of course, I knew all that before I accepted the offer. So, does not count as being abused.

u must be handsomely paid then
such demanding job

Indeed I am. Also because I work without holidays/weekends for 90-120 days straight before going home.
But after overcoming the initial stages of learning, then comes the easier life..
Now I am able to get myself free couple of minutes every couple of hours just to check on FB for family and friends.

Either you came from a rich family , have damn positive friends , being naive or this is a troll account.

Since your still a student, step out to the real world and you tell us is 5 figure an easy target to achieve.
If you already hit 5 figure in your student years from business or sales, then Id say good job and continue to strive forward !

yes either one

Still studying..no wonder la...once you begin your work life, you will realize then...

very true
Am a fresh grad myself, working since February.. feel so poor working and living in KL

Actually i consulted some people working in Petronas they said they are still studying even thier salary is 10k cause to them 10k is consider still low in Malaysia living expenses

10k is still low? damn

Who have you consulted in PET? To me it seems that the people you "consulted" are E3 or senior E2 people... average age is around 38 and above. These people have commitments, such as family, house, etc.

I have a lot of friends working in PET, and 4 of my close family members work in OnG... so i know something regarding OnG

I believe the living expense you mentioned above are towards luxury lifestyle...

Come on man, age 30 with 10k salary, i dont see any difficulties here unless you own fancy sport car and stay at high residential bungalow...
Its about how we manage our money and expenses..i m sure you know that..

Age: 31 (Male)
Status: Married
Job: IT PMO (Local Bank - Permanent)
Current salary: RM7200
Benefit: Std Bank Benfits
Experience: 10 yrs

Sigh..... Feel demotivated when accidentally find out expats are making around 12k-15k similar job function as me.... &^)^)^&^%&$%%!!!!

I'm 31 and still far fetch from 10k.... this makes me even more depress wei........

Project management is already one of the highest paid in IT field. You are considered lucky. i am also from IT, just move from project to solution

Why masuk solution from project buddy? Sien ady with projects? IT PMO pretty tough hari hari kena taruk by project sponsors.... sigh.....

Don't be, Bro. I'm an expat myself and I expect my income to be slashed by 26% by tax. That hurts.

haha.. not my choice.. company is doing some restructuring, so got thrown here and there
