I'd says it's kinda low. but considering it on the east, my manager fren is only getting 7k last year with 10 years exp. So maybe that's the rate there?

How much is the paycut that we are talking here?
Well, earning SGD n then to come back, definitely will need paycut...
assuming it's 2.4, 3k salary in Singapore will give u an equivalent of RM 7.2k already
most companies here will argue that the living expenses here is lower, blah blah blAH...

Any construction engineers (specifically M&E) here, in their early 30s earning more than 10k/month?
I'd like to get some feedback on how to achieve this....

no conversion la, in Malaysia
dun talk bout working overseas...different scene ma

In kepong, m&e company. I tried for developer company but most of them want degree in civil..that's why i'm asking in your company they will consider degree in m&e or not for cns or site engineer position..

yeah, but still they will need M&E ppl
about 30% of the job is still M&E

Sometimes, i feel technicians are undervalued
and ppl think their job is not important...
to me, it is damn important and they are the key people
the engineers only do the design and resolve the issue, but it's down to the technicians to actually do the work
so technician, although the name is not as glamorous as an engineer, is as important as an engineer
sometimes even more important than the engineer

It baffles me why those 4.0 CGPA students are wanting to go to medic.. if it is not money, what else? So, if the money isn't good,
it makes no sense why they rush in, right? I understand the doctor job is tough.. seeing all those sick people and if you have to do surgery, you have to see all the nasty stuff too. The job needs to pay well for them poor doctors.

yeah true dat.
im always looking around,but if my workload is too heavy for now,i wouldnt be able to concentrate on my professional accounting qualification exams
there is this malay proverb ''bersusah-susah dahulu,bersenang2 kemudian'' (english translation suffer 1st,enjoy in the future.later) which is suitable to describe my salary/monetary situation now

let see in a month time.mathematically i should be able to save around $50-100 after deducting all expenses.another thing is i dont have a car for the time being,so i save on petrol,toll,parking,installment,insurance,etc that is associated with car. that keeps me staying afloat for now
yesterday saw a car expo,for a 84k car the insurance is 2k,how insane is the insurance rate now!
i suppose myvi insurance would also be in the range of 800-1000?

not going to happen! the max payscale for this position is only 2k.only the next level max payscale is 3.5k
