Actually I do wonder, if people getting high pay due to jump within the industry or they stay in the company and get big raise? Big raise is hard to come by these days right?

I think you are more likely to get a bigger pay bump via jumping than organic growth, unless you seriously outperform and is fast tracked onto something much bigger.

But company hopping is not a good thing for us to put into our resume as well. How long do you guys think it is appropriate for an employee to hop to another job? Is 1 year sufficient enough? hmm.gif After bonus then tender resignation. laugh.gif

The standard seems to be 2-3 years per jump. If you keep to that and do a meaningful jump, there is nothing wrong with jumping. Anything less would require some good reasoning behind it.

It also depends on age and which stage of career you are in, as those older and in their advance stage of their career tend to jump less.

Guys, it becomes apparent that if to measure your salary properly, you need to state how many hours do you actually work in a week.

i've shifted jobs and typically i put in 10-12 hours a day which got me to think, if i devide my working hours ( which is actually 8 hours a day) for the money i'm being paid vs the many more hours i am required to work ( say 10-11 hours a day coz the job needs me that long instead of being lazy - mostly due to timezone differences), its apparent that i am way under paid
So i guess we need to look at this salary measurement approach a little bit more realistically. ie if ur paid 7k for 8am to 5pm, you basically make 43 ringgit per hour. If you do 10 hours a day, you basically make 35 ringgit per hour.
So in totality, those earning big numbers - especially in IT line, may not be making a whole lot compare to the guy earning 1-2k lesser.

just a thought?

Usually people talk about annual total comp rather than hourly wages, because technically you are only required to work 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week. If your job requires you to stay 10-11 hours, they would need to compensate you for those extra hours. But as you said, it comes to a point where an additional say, 2k will look to you as not worth it when you consider the extra hours expected of you.

However, those additional 2k means the next jump you make will be on top of that 2k, which is why many are willing to take on a job with more pay even though per hour wise, on average he might be making less. You might also want to look at things like performance bonuses and benefits that might be different from someone who works in a job requiring 10-11 hours in general compared to one who needs 8 hours, sometime it will differ in a good way.

brah...cmon......you been working how long? offer letter already covered the company from overtime expenses. the most i get is time off which is worth jack

Which is why I said technically la..

If you get time off, you are getting paid while on time off, so it is worth something and definitely cost something to the company .

You can always move on to another job that offers you hourly wages haha..

If you really want, I might be able to help. But I'll be honest and say she would be better off trying out for a management graduate programme. Starting pay and general perks will be far better.
