I'm also having this query. What sort of engineer can command such pay with just 3+ years experience? I know engineer friends from many different fields who earn way less with similar/more experience. Taking into account starting pay would be the market rate of around RM2.5-3k.

Is it me or are others reading my post wrongly?

I just mentioned that the starting pay was in the region of RM2.5k-3k, not current pay after 3+ years. Obviously there are increments but not to the region of earning more than RM4k, which is the puzzling thing that dexmonata and I are having.

Do not assume that my friends are underperforming or whether they should be bargaining for better pay. I would say it's according to the market rate. Getting paid more than RM4k (up to RM6k) for a regular engineer in a typical field with 3+ years experience is uncommon and out of the norm, thus the query.

really?
rm10k? so high?
maybe kl can,,, penang so low salary

i also 10 yrs exp...engineers yer cannot hit rm5k

I think 9k for a manager posted oversea is a bit low.
the 4,5k can be considered as the base salary n the additional 4.5k will be your oversea allowance
which translates to 1.5k USD for ur expenditure there

personally, i think it's kindly low
