imo, one's salary is based on these few points;

1) what diploma/degree you are holding
2) where you graduated from
3) how good your grades are

however, i am not suprised that some get paid RM1000 even they have experience. i am not sure why is it this low though.

1,500? Take the job. Since you're just fresh, don't choose. 1,500 is a good deal for a fresh and 1,800 is a better deal but hard to come by. I personally think that the industry should pay Degree holders higher. Now, 1,500 is common but it's best if they increase it to 1,800. The living cost had gone up and salary of 1,500 hardly enough if you're getting a car and study loan to settle... Study for Degree is not cheap and I think Degree holders now are underpaid.

In an employers eyes, I think that they feel that Degree holders are everywhere now days and if you reject 1,500 that they offer to you, they can find other that will accept. Face it, Degree holders are common now.

And did you get any offer from the companies that offer higher salary? Of course a better pay is best. I've seen a Degree in Civil getting 2k fresh grad. Beware though... if you job hop too often, eg. 3 - 6months once, that won't look good in your Resume.

What's your company probation period? Some companies give increament based on preformance so I've seen people increase salary one year after joining. And only rm100.

If this is you first job and you get a better offer from other company, go ahead and make the jump. I myself have jumped twice in a year coz of better offer...

?? "company's growth income"?? They should have a probation period and should confirm you once the probation period ends and review your salary. Did they state any probation period in your offer letter or have you asked them before you accept the job?

What i understand is your Degree will help employee to get thier first job..
After that, most of them look at your performance and experience over qualification...

As in my prograss of looking for the first job... i also rejected quite a number of job as i think the salary is low...

Don't try to look at the salary as your priority... focus more on the prospect and opportunity the company may provide....

shinichi usually multinational company is great place to grow as they give training and places to go....but u need to do something extra to stand out among thousands of staff....and if u plan to do so..ask ppl who perviously working there.what they like n dont like about the company before u consider..
