Hi guys. After more than five months of kena ghost from HR, I’ve finally received my OL (CDH position). My questions are:
1) The salary they offered is not what I wanted, can I negotiate for my expected salary? A bit of background about me, I have more than five years of experience and they’re offering me less than 20% bump from my current salary.
2) Is going for a CDH position a good idea in this economy?

Thank you in advance. 🙏🏽

Can probably try. 2 years of guaranteed income not too bad. I'm not sure if the salary can be renegotiated.

If iinm the benefits are some sort of insurance for self spouse and family with unlimited hospitals covered right?

The EPF should follow standard 11-13 percentage? Permanent staff could have higher percentage l.

Did you ask about bonuses or contractual bonuses?

1) you can negotiate. Do check with them whether you are entitled for bonus . if not, you may want to negotiate your salary to price in these factor.

2) I heard that you can only convert to perm ( if you wish to ) at least only after your 2nd time of contract renewal ( to be confirmed by other sifus here). so manage your risk and opportunity here for a CDH pos in PET.

No updates so far, mate. Didn't really bother to ask, being hopeful for anything etc because I don't want to jinx anything. Just playing the waiting game until the time comes.

Thanks for your reply. I’ll have a word with HR on this. 😊

Hi I would like to share my recent experience in regards with the Career Opportunity with PET (executive position, experienced hire)

18/6: Submitted CV
25/7: Chit chat session.
26/7: Submitted Docs
23/8: Received CBI invitation.
6/9: CBI.
28/9: CBI Successful

Haven't received anything after that. I know that most of the candidates here waited for months. Hence, patience is virtue they said. So I keep chilling and waiting, hopefully will receive good news soon.

Btw, is it inappropriate to follow up via whatsapp? Since I got the HR number when we have a quick chit chat session and no reply when I follow up via email. Thanks

I have a few relatives of a friend who work offshore and sometimes bring a kind of "used oil" or something and make extra 30-70k just like that, do we know which positions are entitled to this huge bonus ? I guess not everybody working offshore gets it.

Depends on your performance. if you are a performing star, 12 months. let say your salary is rm10,000/month, you will get rm130,000 for that month.

Deduct EPF still a lot i presume.

1 year 1m+?

This wasn't a straight bonus, more like selling unrefined oil on the black market or something, seems like the oil is gifted by Petronas if i understand well ?

Hard to imagine he's able to bring a couple of metric tonnes of crude oil out by himself. Must have been some huge syndicate. With payouts for many ppl to keep their mouth shut.

Hi, I want to share my problem here and ask for opinion to people inside this forum.

I've got an email from HR. They told me they agrees to proceed for my offer letter within a week and ask for some detail from me before finalizing (Notice Period & Expected Salary). Already reply back to them that day. But, now its more than 2 weeks and I don't get any response from them. Is it normal to waited long in this situation?
