I feel like changing to a new company. Although this company exposed me to a lot of new faces and gaining new experience, but i feel like my current salary is insufficient.

The good thing is, this regional office in Malaysia just turned 1 yrs old. Should I stay or should I go?

Depends on the sector. If you're talking about the banking sector then 4% is considered very low. Usually without promotion should be around 8%. With promotion usually around 10% - 20%.

I am 26, an IT back-office coordinator at a MNC company, basic 4.8k.

After reading this thread I'm quite thankful with my current earning. But I plan to buy a house this year. No matter what I need to get my salary increase as house price nowadays are crazy!! 

if your current salary is 2.5k+ then it's possible. my experience, only jump if new salary increase > 60%. less than that, i better stay.

I got quite shocked when I read this thread.. I'm considered average / slightly under paid if to compare with other friends working in similar position / field.. I believe there are a lot tai gors out there didn't actually share their salary? 

That's why i said I was comparing with my friends and colleagues with similar years of experience in the same field.. one of my friend with extra 1 year experience  has been bought off with 60% higher than my salary   

My fren status.

Fresh grad 2012
Current salary Rm 3500
Benefit: insurance = 1 month rm1500
bonus will be given.

Monday to Friday.

Is it ok to continue? Because after confirmation only rm100 extra... My fren a bit felt sad

I don't think your boss will give you that huge increment.
Ask yourself why do you deserved that amount? You only have 2 years plus experience.
Remember that your boss can hire a year more experience than you just 3k-3.5k range.

I dun rekomen go for interview if you dun plan to leave the company. When u get a better offer it will very dilemma to make the decision. But if u always on for a better deal, then just go interview and jump.
