LMAO... almost all Presales CDMA/Wimax are Lowyatnet members ... hahaha ...

As far as I know, the increment in technical support department is very low due to the fact that they have a lot of TSD engineers.

Basic pay is very important as you can't depend always on the travelling allowance to survive, as I said Huawei has a lot of TSD engineers, you might have chance for a 3 months continuous support in a country and come back for another few months without any out station job.

I will advise you to negotiate to at least match your current salary before considering to move on to the new job.

For your future sake, most companies don't count travelling allowance as basic pay, in the end you will be getting lower pay if you want to move on to another company after Huawei.

There is a forum where huawei people discuss about the company policies and stuffs. Maybe you all can get an idea from there ...

It's always a good experience for young people to gain more exposure in other countries. It's a good portfolio for your future career.
Travelling is not necessary bad as you can earn additional allowance on top of your salary in Malaysia. If you are travelling to 3rd world country, your expenses there will be low and hence you can earn even more.
There is always a tradeoff between life and money, you have to decide which one to go for.
Work is always stressful, that's why we are paid to work ... even when you are working in Malaysia, can you guarantee work is easy here?

What you said are only partially correct.
Engineers hired for Asia Pacific support are mostly sent overseas to handle project in a team.
I have friends currently working in Australia, USA, Singapore and Hong Kong as well.
Country such as India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam etc 3rd world country will also be on the list.
As you gain your seniority, travelling to support will reduce and most you will be on the management and leadership track. And that's when you will have chance for training in China.
It's not difficult to gain seniority in Huawei.

Accomodation I believe depends on the country, I agree that it won't be 4-5 stars hotel. Expect something in between 2-3 stars. Country such as Pakistan and Bangladesh are known to have very bad accomodation. But for other countries, it seems okay.

I think you are being funny with your statement.
From your previous post, it shows that you are biased and also you don't seem to work in Huawei.
So I don't see how your post in this thread can help anyone here.

It's possible to reach 10k (depends on your basic) if you are working overseas as you are paid daily allowance in USD in most countries. Note that you are paid allowance on weekend as well. Let say 1 month with daily allowance of USD40, that would be USD1200 per month = RM4000, if you are a fresh graduate, let say your basic is RM2400, that would be RM6400 per month. Not to mention there should be transportation and mobile allowance on top of your basic even if you are not travelling (not sure how much but let say RM300). Altogether will be RM6700 for a fresh graduate salary.

If you are working in a professional industry, you are expected to work profesionally, you are given an assignment and a deadline that you agreed upon, whether you need to work over 6pm and weekend everyday, it's your own time management skill and efficiency. Professionalism ... it applies to every company in the world.

Actually you are right, Huawei major revenue comes from mobile project especially 3G. Huawei has won 3G project to swap away existing Nokia, Ericsson, ALU etc equipment in the entire South East Asia region. Routers and Switches are only a small portion of their major revenue.

Cisco lawsuit is not justifiable, they give up actually, they will definitely continue if they have concrete proofs on that. You can't blame Proton copies Ford designs although they both have 4 wheels, 4 doors, an engine etc right?
