Just sharing my years of experience in the industry.... If u're not planning to become an enterepeneur, then

First phase of your career (0 - 10 years), get a good kick start for your career e.g. Good industry, potential jobscope, outstanding environment / working culture, etc

For accounting degree holder go to audit firm e.g. The big 4, don't stay for less

For engineering degree holder go to upstream O&G company

Note: To choose company based on salary, because one company can pay you extra 1k per month is just naive, job hopping too much and soon you will find yourselves unwanted by the industry elite (this is diiferent with freelancing), to think that work less play more is a good thing is just stupidity as this is the phase you should build your career and capability e.g. Not looking for the best renumeration and easy work yet (that's for the next phase!)


Second phase of your career... This is the time which will define who you are in the corporate world, if u've done enough or need further push... But most important u've selected the right track... I'm not saying other line of work or industry is not good, but if you want to join the elite workforce in the Malaysia environment, thsi is the way u must do it... Based on my observation...

My 2 cents worth

What is your experience? I agree with u about big4. I hv higher salary in commercial but in long term people in big 4 has higher salary than me.

Allow me to share my personal experiences.

I'm in the banking and finance line for almost 8 years before i decided to venture out on my own.

Leaving the comfort zone and taking that leap of faith is never easy. I just trust my gut feel and let God show me the way.

Initially, it was very very tough but you should never gave up easily.

Nowadays, i trade stk mkt FT and on a normality basis, i can easily make 30 to 60K a month. In a bull mkt, the sky is the limit.

What i'm trying to say is that, in whatever things you do, there bound to be people who will throw shits at you.

But you should always trust yourself first and foremost and persist at all cost.

May you all achieve success soon.

Can you tell me about your venture ?
Does the money higher than when u work in bank?

there is no way for a normal banker with 8 years experience to earn 30-60k a month.. unless you are at those COO/direct report to CEO top management level.

hence, i assume he is currently making a lot more than what he used to earn in bank

But from where he got the capital of 3 million?
His last salary is about 5k. 60*8 = 480k.
U think he is bwtter than wb?
