Sorry for butting in, but I'm in her position also. Not to belittle any of her achievement while in internship, but her (and my) case is most possibly pure luck. At least she got into internship before, I was approached by a trainer when I was in a software training by this company I'm working in now.

Basically I help our clients' problems with our softwares or the models they made with the softwares. My company is reservoir simulator publisher so my job is basically a petroleum reservoir engineer.

Nononono. You read it wrong. The gross salary is RM 9,000+.

Don't be, Bro. I'm an expat myself and I expect my income to be slashed by 26% by tax. That hurts.

I'm 26 this year. Got 9k+ a month. I'm in oil and gas industry, so that's probably why I got a pretty good salary. I also got Master's degree, which according to my company's interview back then, it helped me to get that kind of salary.

Thanks Bro. Still the tax gonna take quite a chunk of that. Not gonna b**** about that tho, as even with 26% tax, I still pretty much can save a lot. Especially since I'm single.
