I'm starting to think that some posters are trying to really hard to make themselves look good by converting x dollar/euro back into ringgit. Considering that we are moving towards globalization i'm starting to feel that we need to change the format we are posting up.

Relax bro.. no matter what he say.. I'm just not gonna believe and if you are smart enough you won't too..

dont worry, im relaxed. im giving him the benefit of doubt.
but i also believe that there are people who earn a lot more even though theyre below 30.

of course there are... just not BS like 2 years in garena then some MNC hires you with a 22k raise

that guy has a CCIE cert...Cool enough?
Add another PMP into his pocket...
Now, that.... justifies his numbers..

also his MSc, and maybe he's not paid in MYR.
I think jason just didnt read his whole story

Where are you located at? I think the salary stated is pretty fair considering only a diploma...any further plans to further proceed with degree?

bukit jalil bro. yes of course, i'll be pursuing ACCA part time. btw, my diploma is a LCCI diploma in accounting. i guess its pretty fair. thank you.

if currently earning 8-9k ringgit, does it worth to work in sg for 6k sgd?

Our currency against SG is 2.7:1, which probably you're monthly around RM 12k.

If you stay in JB, and cook yourself you hv save alot of money.

Its a dilemma, i want to earn sgd but do not want to sacrifice the lifestyle here..............

earn sgd have to save here save there only can get the most out of it.....now earning myr is quite comfortable but no saving..

You gave a range for allowance
the allowance differ based on what aspects?

You earn 8-9k but no saving at all?
What you do with the money? Everyday eat at high class restaurant? Holiday non stop?

With that income u can save a lot if you are still single

Is that a landed house or condo house? In good location? You can try to rent out you house to ease your burden.

If convert from SGD to become MYR 25k then nothing so special. In my view SGD 10k for a product manager no big deal.

definitely above average if you've only been working for 4 years.
so in this case, the qualifications and certifications helps alot.

What kinda network engineer? Goyang kaki or firefighting type?

My seniors working more than 5 years are earning 8k RM onwards. More if they are specialized into a certain skillset. Most have CCNP (which is too common nowadays).

Also to update mine as of June 2015:

Job Description : some fancy title but basically it's still Network Support/Engineer
Years spent in company : 3months
Company : MNC
Industry : IT /Networking
Tenure : Permanent
Experience before joining : 3.5 years
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Degree. Related vendor certifications (going for more soon)

Salary: ~RM7k gross + usual benefits

I think I'm doing just OK ... definitely more room for increment but not sure if I'd want to further enhance my current skillset (I'm doing Cisco tech mainly so CCIE is next) ... or just go all rounder and get certifications from other vendors.

I must congratulate you for never stop learning and upgrading yourself. People nowadays especially in old generations keep complain why the young generation surpass them, in fact they did not move forward. Some can't even use proper Office software such as Words/Excel. Those who can, they are at top. Those who stuck in middle level, they can only moan on this and that (no time lar, no money lar, got family lar) and yet keeps cursing the young for earning more.

Not bad le 4 yrs exp so high salary. Is it everytime u get a cert your company increase your salary?
