Yup, but it's difficult to get the 1k increment per year.
Then you need to jump again and again to get this figure.

For O&M and Installation, i don't have any idea for their base salary, but their allowances very high.

Jun 2012 – RM4000 (Jump company)

Jan 2014 – RM5218 (Increment & Promotion)
Apr 2015 - VSS

Jun 2015 – Just got another offer yesterday for RM6.8k (Contract), still in dilemma want to accept the offer or not

Believe in me, money will come with your experience.
With experience, you can demand with your potential employer.

Oil & Gas office based, not offshore.
If want to reach RM10k at my 30. Need to get my P.Eng (Ir.) by next year.

Yup, quiet good.

I'm on track now.
But need to attend few mandatory courses, talk and seminar by IEM/BEM.
Hopefully by next year can submit my application.

Oh really, i though need to completed the PDP points then can submit the application.

Correct, i know that.
So mean, the PDP only applicable for BEM PE Application. For IEM PI application, only experience importance.
If like that, i can finish my exp & design report and submit.

Thanks jitshiong for the explanation and sharing, really appreciate that.
