I can't comment much, i'm not from that field. but imo, i think you're doing not bad though.

then you should quote him mah....

if she choose to stay, will her salary goes up to 4600 in less than a year time? How long will she take to achieve 4600 if she stay put?
if not, making a switch would be a better idea, of course you must take into account of work, distance, etc.

Not to forget she has no relevant experience, they are kind enough to give you a 21% increment is considered quite good already, many would have just try to match or give up a bit of upside by quoting that you do not have the relevant experience to shut you down. 29 is still young, but not so young if you venture into completely new things.

Also not to forget, more basic salary also means more EPF savings for your retirement, although the difference is not much, but do not neglect the power of compounding.

what's the current position and the new position?

the decision is still hers to make.

giving up the 4.6 doesn't guarantee her getting around that figure in the near term when she choose to stick with her current job, not to forget the loss of some epf too. what are the other monthly claims available in her new job?

I think she should try taking up the new challenge despite the 200 bucks lesser, it's not that much either, I concur with the below forumer.
and yes, you may not be ambitious enough to pursue higher. I got slightly more than 5k at 27 and promoted. So I guess you really have to put in some extra effort and extra miles to be more outstanding that the rest.

yup, i have the same opinion like you, career prospect should come before the RM200.
some HR have the policy of giving out a max of 30% to prise someone over, I know there will be people disagree with this point, but this is how our Malaysian HR works. They claim everything in your offer letter is P&C, should not be discussed with anyone else, but they want to know their candidates' current salary. what a hypocrite, at least to me.

wow, 7k for a fresh graduate cool... but before you demand for more money, maybe you need to gain more exposure before asking?
hardly work for a year yet already feeling underpaid? fuuhhh.... really budak lagi.. lol.. kidding, anyway, what's your next offer like, wanna share?

everyone entitled to their own opinion, whatever I think it doesn't matter to you.
do what you feel best for yourself. good luck if you think that's the best for you.

but the same house which cost 150k back then cost 400k now ma.
so in a way, Get Y's purchasing power is much lower.
our purchasing power has been on the diminishing trend.

okay, shall improve in the next posting onwards. also amended the first page, posting format.

i think you're doing okay, just give it some time. experience comes first for you.

finance and corporate? corporate finance is it?

which company? then maybe I can help advising a bit.

what's your scope like? not sure what you will be doing in your new role.

not sure sorry, i'm in corporate finance.

anything deal with corporate exercises, i.e. merger and acquisition, ipo, privatisation, bonus issue, rights issue, divestment and many more.....
evaluate company's performance, come out with recommendation. For own company, take care of the balance sheet too. debt, dividends, etc.

nola. in cf.

chatime? prepare 500k for the franchise fee first, not sure about coolblog. if you open those small burger stall, then seems more possible.

one yr of experience can net you 100k a year, good what.
despite your strong background. which is still good.

i'm no expert in your field, but i thought you could be deserving more than that, you are underpaid by your experience and qualification, in my opinion.

3 years in audit..... with 1 year prior to joining...
thought you should be AM under fast tracked path.....

i see.... but 3 years of audit experience, could be am title ad... that's what i think.....

best is just get into big 4 instead of the rest of the top 10.
pay wise i really couldn't advise you much, i'm not in audit line myself.

maybe you can get into commercial with a bit more premium, but the progression may then slow down a lot compared to you staying in professional line.
if you don't wanna do audit anymore, consider investment banking? cf? dcm? ecm? etc?
but workload could be even more than audit tbh. if you're tired with heavy workload when you're young. maybe you can consider becoming those accounts exec in commercial. your call.

4.5 years of experience and getting 4.1k? where's your location if we may know?

good luck to you.
