Lol, that y interested to know. Does the position is offer the said range salary?

Your pay is competitive for GLC - because they also have to compete with other GLC.
MNC will pay more but not as much after you've to put in more effort.
GLC has better other fringe benefits to offset any other setbacks.

The point of the career is to love what you do.. not necessarily must take compensation as number one priority.

Also, there is no such thing as "too old" to sit for any exam or cert or learning anything new.

Getting a "paper" cert also doesn't mean that you're expert. I have to throw out a lot of paper cert candidates after job interviews because know absolutely nothing except for memorization of that the facts and answers only.
I prefer to hire experienced people.

In real world, I agree with you. MNC prefers experience ppl. GLC is similar to government, the policy was adopted from the government. They prefers candidate with paper... but that doesn't mean candidate with paper are more intelligent than those without one.

GLC pay is also similar with the government, the pay it lower but the benefit is better compared to MNC. As part of the transformation plan ETP, GLC has to obey to government rules, which is, to hire candidate with proper qualification (certs), that was the GLC hiring strategy.

If I were to compare my SAP skills with those in MNC, I will be far behind. Frankly speaking, GLC does not do much on technical.. so you can't brush your talent there. We manage the project.. the rest of the work is done by 3rd parties(the consultant)... what we normally do is reviewing the projects till it's completed. Certs does not guarantee that you are good in any field, it act a ticket or permit for you to enter certain division.

If people ask if I were a SAP SD expert... I wud say No

Any blueprint or the Project design was done by consultants, this include the gap analysis, SRS, Functional Spec, test script, UAT, TR till go-live. What I do best, is chasing ppl around

May I know what degree you having?

Pyschology

so high? are you working in Malaysia? or oversea pay? I cannot believe GLC will pay so high. mine share more?

Not sure what you want to know. I'm in Malaysia working for a FI. I don't think my pay is high at all, in fact it's probably lower because I had a later start to my 'career' compared to some of my peers.

But I have jumped a couple of times because I didn't felt I'd hit this salary if I remained in the same place and grew organically that soon.

u got degree in finance as well? working with bank, which department?

I'm not that smart

Rewards is a HR component, just happened to be a specialist in a finance field at the moment. I have received offers to move cross industry (FMCG, MLM and O&G) but I'm not as keen currently.

but RM6k with 2 years experience is really high. you are degree in actuary or wat?


Im degree in account, start work as auditor, now in advisory, salary 6k with almost 5 years experience.

Psychology bro.

I did make 2 jumps within a year due to better pay and I do have working experience (albeit part time) during my study years

Plus, Rewards is a specialised field, so the pay position is slightly higher compared to a generalist due to the limited pool, and if you factor in a position for a financial industry, its even fewer. Unless something drastic changes, I forsee no problem in me getting a position if I decide to jump tomorrow, even.

Hmm... this is a good pay in deed, very rare. Do you have any professional cert in hand?

Nope, though I am exploring a Masters, hopefully soon.

I initially started in a different department before being offered a Rewards position. Subsequently I made a couple of jumps to where I am now. Having knowledge of the industry remunerations didn't hurt either

But I have to admit I have been blessed to have been able to join and remain hired by the top tier FI, which pays much better for their specialist. It is also a big boost to my resume as I from the get go have been working regional projects which adds another element to it, as many FI's as exploring the overseas market now so they pay a premium for those with these experience.

Which GLC your are working with haha

Not in the position to reveal too much la bro

But, I've been in working for the top tier FI's

Morning fuzzy,

mind to share your work challenges ?
