i started working at the age of 17, immediately after SPM in 1995.
i could still fondly recall getting my first pay cheque in SGD, back then the exchange rate was around x1.7
i've spent 10 years in the company (wafer fabrication) working my way up from production operator to line leader, equipment technician& i left the company in 2006 as a shift engineer. On average, i got promoted every 2 years.
In between that i pursue & successfully obtained an engineering degree from UTM (space program)
i joined an OEM semiconductor; Swiss based company & spent the next 3 years as service engineer. i left as Senior engineer.
In 2009, i was headhunted by solar company & hired as staff engineer. Finally after 14 years abroad (Singapore) i decided to return to Malaysia.
Not too long after that i got promoted to Engineering Manager. i was already on 5 figures salary at time of joining.
I've been lucky in the sense that i joined the right industry at the right time. But make no mistake, its nothing but hard work. There's no easy way or shortcuts to get to where i am now.
Imagine a 17 years old boy without any exposure to outside world (the furthest i've been to was Langkawi) packed my suitcase & headed to Singapore arm with nothing but SPM trial result whereas friends my age are still enjoying post SPM & having fun.
I'm presently leading an engineering department with 70 direct reports ( engineers & technician).
