i believe average would be RM2.4k - RM2.8K.
only those who display more exceptional abilities / from better unis will get RM3k or more...

I'm from KK, not going back there until I gained experience here. Freshie in KK got too low pay

+1

Fresh grad salary, actually almost the same for the past 5 years. As mention, only some of the exceptional get 3k or above.

But living cost jump so high, especially properties jump almost 100% from last 5 years. Something must had went wrong.

how old are you and how many years of working experience?
What you consider high?

It is not strange these days for people in the offshore oil & gas industry to earn big bucks. Not too sure about other lines of industry though.

Business is business Who doest want more $$ if they can get it ? Even Mondragon who brags that their maximum ratio of wage is 1:9 is bullshit !

ytle2010: Its because only the those want to share and brag on their successful stories and careers and besides, most of the high wage you see here are from OnG. Go do your own market research with HR's or head hunters in different companies and industry and you get real numbers as an average.

Id agree with fresh grads
But from an employer stand point, the employer holds the power to hire. Hence if one is not happy about the package, they are always free to leave or not take up the offer. In fact, employers if cooperate, they can even control the salary rates in saturated markets. Thats how Graphic Designers fresh grads are paid peanuts.

I'm working in a bank and planning to jumpship. Got 1 offer but the increment is lesser than what I hoped for. RM 300 increase from my current salary. Not sure if I should take it. But if I keep on working at the same one, it might take me 2 years to get to this salary.

Normally the jump will be 10-20%, if you lucky & demanded can get up to 30-50%

If you don't see any career prospect & opportunity in current company, just move on.

After calculated, it's around 11% jump. I would like to have a change in current work environment.

Sounds a bit low. My recent t two jumps (fellow banker here ) was around 20% each within a few months apart. More details?

Yeah... I do feel so.

Well, current job is in retail banking (front line, customer services, branch operation). Have been working for 2.5 years. Previous increment was around 6%. Most colleagues are senior staff who have been working for more than 10 years who are in their own comfort zone. Can be pretty fed up with the working environment at times.

New offer.... is in trade banking. Desktop bound job working with PC and the system. Was warned of heavy workload, working on staggered hours, and Malaysia public holidays.

Hmm, my personal feeling is that 11% for a 2.5 years experience is on the low side, but it could possibly be due to a totally new field? I was lucky to get that 20% because I was moving in to a totally new area but then again, I think I was lucky as well when I jumped after a few months to something I was more familiar with and still get another 20% bump.

Perhaps try to negotiate something higher? If it fails, you can still go back to taking the 11% so no harm trying unless they are adamant about the 11%.

I worked in IT field in Infrastructure.
more to desktop support.
No education background, only experience.
i got 2 years workstation troubleshooting experience.
currently i handle 400 workstation.
i worked for semiconductor factory
and my pay only rm1500 fixed.
did you guys think the pay is reasonable?

why not go for a part time degree? Employers will usually look at degree first, experience later in deciding your salary range.

whats the requirement?
cost?
and which IPT suit for me?

ty for replying.

i wouldn't say this always the case..
sometime experience more important than degree..
it all depend on which industry you are in..
