Job Title : Marketing Manager
Years spent in company : Couple of months
Company : SME
Industry : Chems (Don't worry it's not Breaking Bad)
Tenure : Perm
Experience before joining : 6 months temp (essentially fresh)
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Bachelor's
Salary : ~RM4k, rent covered (~RM1k)
Location: Shanghai
Age: 23(ish)

Kinda okay with where I am, trying hard not to think of those swanky bankers just a couple of years older than me earning 25K/lel.

Was just wondering what's a *decent* career trajectory to aim for?
Most in-house increments I've seen are paltry and really don't look like they reward you well in terms of performance.

Jumping ship seems to work better in that case- and it seems like more a matter of experience/qualifications.

For most generation Y they have same thought like you saying stay back mean inefficient. If you are in corporate especially big MNC, you will find out the company giving lots of workload which we hardly finish the task before 6pm. That's why some MNC allow employees to take their laptop back and continue work from home. I am not asking the youngster to stayback but there are many work remain pending and yet they still insist to go home on time.

I do not agree to stay back OT however finish the task within the day is an obligation as employee are receive wages from company to do their job right. Nowadays youngster asking for higher salary but less workload and go home on time, what about the senior when their salary is just about 10% - 20% who have higher workload need stay back and more stress. Do not tell me the gen Y is guarantee more efficient than previous gen, if yes please prove it with evidence.

e.g. admin staff general comparison

fresh grad demand for 2.5k, 1 experience
senior current pay RM 3k, 5 years experience

So how the senior will feel when they contribute more than the junior yet the salary was only 20% higher than fresh grad. Senior are proven capable to work but fresh grad performance is remain unknown until they stay more than a year to justify.

So why isn't your company actually compensating your "seniors" their actual worth in salt?
That seems to be the underlying problem instead of the excuses you trot out for fresh grads...

----------

I suggest pay negotiations with any job offer.
It's not that money is the ultimate thing that's important about the job, but you sure as hell would not want to give the impression that money doesn't matter and you're there to "learn" and "pick up experience". Do that, and you end up at 3k after 5 years.
