Fresh Graduates Graphic Designer around 1.3K - 1.6K, 8 years back. Now should be minimum RM1.6K.

Btw I have 6 years experience and earning lower than 3K, so leaving soon for better pay as I felt I'm underpaid.

Also each Graphic Designer Salary depends on the number of software you know too. Some pay you a lot but u need to do website, multimedia and etcs....

even though we are demanding our salary, they won't understand that doing graphics need to use creativity and time consuming. they will think that it's easy and if we are demanding too much, they still can hire fresh grad which they can pay like RM1.8k. save company's money, thus increase KPI. lol.

im looking for a job after i get my bonus. will try to search for a company who's not really a graphic company, but they need a designer. it's hard, it's there. from my observation, designing companies doesn't appreciate it's own designers. from my past experience la. even my current company. T_T

ok enough rant. i can go on till tomorrow if i wanna rant about out designing scene in Malaysia. sad.
p/s: got vacancy at ur company? haha. i have cert for those too. XD

All I can say is, Graphic Designer who want to learn more things and get more pay. Stay out of Corporate Companies...They think design is easy and to them we are just a level higher than secretary positions. In corporate company, we designers are like Staff Level. Executive talk to you like they are bosses. Unless you are fierce enough and in a corporate company, designers have to be strict and fierce enough not to get push around.

So best to work for a design agency but some work period are ridiculous. OT like mad and then Designers never have OTs..

So choose your company wisely as a Designer.
