4years experience only 4k..mz be small firm.

I join audit in 2009, in 2013. my salary is 5.7k

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?

Great idea. I was counting my salary down to an hour yesterday and you guys mentioned it this morning! Since I already had a little bit head start, I'll share mine.

What should I do after I habis sekolah ? What's the best course to study and the job that I will get is a good pay..

Anyone know the salary range (plus commisions if possible) for a premier banker? One who serves high networth clients.

Job Title : L1/1.5 Mandarin service desk
Job Desciption : Provides technical support to end user
Years spent in company : 1 and a half
Company :  MNC
Industry : ITO
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Snr Exec
Experience before joining : 3-4 years
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Degree
salary : RM 4.2k + 1 month contractual bonus
Location: KL
Age: Almost 29

Am I earning it right for my age?

This is an easy job, always leave on time and there's no more work after working hour, due to this, I have become lazier, and my brain somewhat become dull, because every day just doing trivial troubleshootings for noob users, as opposed to previous job where I need to deal with server and networking.

my lead has made it clear that this job won't have fat bonus and increments, maybe only less than rm100 increment each year, but everyday you just clock in clock out on time, end of month you shall receive the salary without stretching much of your mental and physical.

I am now in a dilemma, shall I step out of my comfort zone and try something more challenging?  but I am the kind of person who doesn't like official stuff after working hour, I see most of my friends having to stay back or work during weekends, I don't want to be like them, but at the same time, the salary seems like not enough these days, especially the fall of ringgit

what would you do if you were me?

btw I am single, one of the reasons is I don't want to have a busy career which hinders me from looking up for potential partner. I become worried as I see my brother and most of his colleagues who work as journalists, have no time for dating.

I am working in KL and I had been working in IT MNC like IxM and Hewlxtt Pxckard for number of years. I am Gen X when I join the IxM as fresh grad and I leave Hx the fresh grads were occupied by Gen Y.
.
My own personal opinion. Gen Y is generally creative than previous Gen and they tend to think of the box too. There are many fresh ideas from Gen Y which might be or might not be accepted by company. Gen Y open to speak their thought out freely and communication is better as well. However there are few things I discovered myself where there are comment weakness of Gen Y.

1. Careless - Working on the task is quick but less precise.

2. Less hardworking - Gen Y always emphasize on work life balance no matter in what situation. Thanks to Airasix always has promotion and Gen Y are more enjoy their life in travelling than working. I almost find none of the Gen Y willing to share the workload of other colleagues and they claim it was not inside their responsibility.

3. Less considerate - Gen Y commonly found as much ego compare to Gen X or earlier. They can argue and talk loud and rude to their senior or leader without considerate other's feeling.

4. Demanding - I am wondering how the fresh grad or Gen Y junior dare to ask for high salary or increment when they are yet to prove their performance to the employer. I have met few Gen Y asking for more than 8% increment where their KPI is average or below but even the better KPI worker is getting about 6%.

We are not saying to pay fresh grad at RM1500 but not as high as somewhere RM3000, have to be realistic figure for inexperience person. If fresh grad thinking to pack their bags to go SG it is up to them. There are many people went to SG earning big exchange rate to enjoy better lifestyle which is good thing. However my advice to those who ambitious may think twice before moving to SG as the corporate ladder for Msia is least when come to think there are many elite from SG, MY, China, Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Korea, HK, Taiwan etc countries. Many of the management posts are held by either SG people or Caucasian. There maybe 70% of Msia end by earning average of 5-7k (at least degree holder) till their retirement age and yet still stuck at senior officer role. In SG there is very least opportunity to become entrepreneur even a small retail shop, the competition is intense and small enterprise or small player unable to survive as few big players capture the whole market.

FYI, there are many big corporate or listed companies in Msia paying more than 10k salary for manager or senior manager role. For director level the remuneration can be anything more than 20k per month excluding bonus. Beside if individual want to self-employ, there are opportunities to become entrepreneur but it subject to condition such as capital, location (much bigger than SG), products etc.

Wow, very aspiring !

Might consider being MP after graduate.

What's the requirement?
