salary stuff doesn't mean low is good... u need to be realistic on it.

for kl ppl, 2k may be a good benchmark,
for jb, i saw many who can only get 1.6 max
for singapore, its 1.6k sgd min...

i once had a friend whos first job as a fresh grad salary pops 4k, annual leave 30days. he end up leaving that job after 6 months cos the job scope will very propietory which he don't want to spent the rest of his life doing it.

so there are chances you can get good jobs, if you are really opting for it.
