Wow pay doesn't seem so great here. I'm a pretty recent grad, back in Msia after studying overseas...got a job interview next week and looking for advice on salary. I did an internship back when I was studying, and was making a lot more than what people seem to make here, but then again cost of living is much higher over there.
So what would a recent grad at one of them international advertising agency expect for a salary here in KL?

Guys i really need help on choosing where to work to boost my career as a
designer. Got offers from 3 company from the interviews but in a dilemma
which one to decide and only 1 company that is mature and gave me an offer
letter even before i said i need time to think as they need me immediately.

Im a fresh grad, They offered me a ;2.6k salary ( probation ) and 2.8k ( after probation ). they also put up a commission for 3% based on the jobs/designing i did for the clients. This is by far a good offer for me.
And with paid allowance going to those classes. Im a fresh deg grad btw. 2 months freelance after finished study now need to find a stable salary for my future.
Really love this offer tho but what do you guys think ?

That's a really decent offer! I'd consider it seriously if I were you. Get the experience, and see how it goes from there. Make sure to read the offer letter properly yea? smile.gif

At your level right now, it's a good opportunity to get as much experience and skills. It won't be an easy job, but as long as you have the determination and hard work you will get there.

thank you guys, i think i might be considering joining them. just out of curiosity, my friends shared their experience working or intern with big agencies such as LB. most of em said its better for a fresh grad to join smaller agencies or company and gain experience before working with big agencies. what do you guys think about that ?

download my portfolio and browse thru. i just picked out my best works there, who knows you guys need an addition designer at your firm or agency. and tell me what you think about my works !
