Years spent in company : 2 months
Total Experiences: 2 years
Company : PLC
Industry : Manufacturing
Tenure : Probation
Highest qualification : Professional Qualification
Salary : 3.5 k (Close to none benefits)

Any comment?

What is professional qualifications? That is overpaid...even degree and master quite hard to get 3.5k in accountant

With two years and for accountant position seems to be on the Low Side..

only ACCA. 2 years experience.. still overpaid meh? I thought is either normal or under pay nia haha

I asked for 3.8k but they said will adjust after probation. Let's hope so. Around what range with 2 years exp? (with audit background)
