I'm 28 married and for that salary I can't even buying house. How to do?
Lets take a look at my journey on working experience.
2013--> After graduate, working at printing company as graphic designer and production manager. Salary Rm1300
2015--> After jobless about 3 month(personal matter), working back as creative marketing designer at boutique. Salary RM1500
2015-current--> Working at factory as Product Designer, starting salary Rm2.5k. After 1 year now 2.8k.
As start working at factory I manage to save money and get married at 2016. Now, focusing on buying house. But with that current salary, its quite hard to find house at Shah Alam/Setia Alam/Klang area because the price is crazy.
I ask people if want properties at that area, u at least need 6k income. For apartment 850sf already 300k that around 1.4k monthly, I'm targeting on landed house after survey all above 400k. Must atleast 2k monthly for house pay, so with the current salary i give up. 2 years more before i turn 3 series.
Any chance how to get higher pay in this industry?
Manufacturing, Electrical. Panasonic?
its hard to believe you getting paid 2.8k only. do your study industrial design or product design?
but lets look back at your fresh grads, work as graphic designer, none have related to what you did now and your starting with 2.5k as a junior consider not bad. stay another year or two see how it goes 1st. thats the reason i always advise fresh grads choose your path correctly on your 1st job. it make what you are today.
i study industrial design also last time.
