Thanks for your view as an employer.

Lets think from a 3rd party observer on the job seeker. Because of this 'bad impression', to avoid it he/she has to slough it out for years at a company with poorer career benefits and opportunities?

Example below: Job hopper = divorcee (both also bad impression 1)
What happen if he unfortunate to marry Rosmah as first marriage, he force to make the marriage work? I rather he bite the bad impression as a divorcee than slough it out with her. Likewise, same with companies.

Good luck staying married for 3 years with Rosmah, fruitie!

A fresh graduate's career potential is molded in his early years... 3 years will snuff the life out of him/her. Looking at salary thread you already know how HR 'values' a staff- BASED ON HIS LAST DRAWN SALARY. If he realizes he/she is in a shithole, get outta there!!!

After 3 years scenario, when he hop to his 2nd company:
If Ah Seng had a bad start-
1. Look Ah Seng the IT guy, we really are offering you alot already, 30 % increment and 15 offdays. You had only RM 1800/mth salary previously and 8 days annual leave. You should be grateful. Ah Seng: "Wtf i was stuck in chinapek company and I listened to fruitie to be loyal for 3 years!"

If Ah Seng had a good start-
2. Wow Ah Seng, we really like your skills. Im afraid I cannot offer more than RM 1000 increment from your previous company. You will be taking home RM 6000/mth but management has promised to review you for a promotion in 1 years time as written in this job offer contract. Ah Seng: "Now we're talking"

Here thread is for local jobs for local hires. You are on International Mobility. Plus need to deduct that standard 19% tax.

Anyways, be prepared to puke ur heart out at the Indian cooking in the mid east
