Hi All! Recently got an offer from a PR agency from Singapore as community manager for one of their clients here in Malaysia. So i would be employed by a SG company but able to work from home. (I Know, awesome right?) My problem is... I have no idea what to ask for in terms of salary. Normal community managers in MY is around RM3-5k, Currently im getting about RM3500 (full-time) but i know PR agencies are slightly higher. Would it be fair for me to request about SGD3-4K for contract position? Dont want to be paid same like what they pay bangla at 711. Please help.

So should definitely go for 3-4k, since im giving up some benefits (currently work at YTL) for this. Thanks!

Hopefully is not so low. Don't want to be taken advantage of just because im malaysian.

QUOTE(vincentwmh @ Jul 17 2013, 05:36 PM) headhunter or hiring Co offered you? it makes lots of difference I was contacted directly by the hiring manager.. but she also not able to give me salary scope, just says that it is a competitive salary. I've passed the rounds of interview and done the 'writing test'. Now just waiting for the numbers and logistics. Not getting my hope up until the ink is dry. lol
