Age : 23
Job Title : Field Service Engineer
Job Desciption : Provide service, maintenance for chemical instruments at customer sites
Years spent in company : First month, still in probation period
Education: BS degree in chemistry, not engineering.
Location : Penang
Industry : Services
Experience before joining : Fresh grad
salary : RM2200 basic, rm600 fixed allowance every month, RM0.60/km when I travel to customer sites (everyday, sometimes multiple sites per day), meal allowance when customer sites are out of Penang state (rm25 half day, rm50 a day), company phone and touch n go card (strictly for job purposes), 18% incentive of 3 months pay every 3 months if the company hits their target.

For the first month, I am getting a total of ~rm1100 mileage claim and ~rm500 of meal allowance, and according to my colleague, ~rm1200 to ~rm1500 is the average of monthly allowance for mileage and meal.

I know my basic is kinda low but the allowances are pretty decent. Office hours are 8:30 to 6:00, but I am only required at the office every monday at 9am for meeting, once I get my schedule for the week, I am told to go to customer sites from home, without going to office everyday, once work is done (maybe after like 3pm or 4pm), can go home straight, no need to go back to office until 6pm, hence no punch card.
