I am surprise nowadays the solution architect title had been abused in such..

p/s: sorry no offence to you, it was mainly the company and industry fault.

Hi,  i did saw your early post, no worry wont do silly things like asking questions here, take it easy

Well, normally when one call himself solution architect, he should actually has a very deep and BROAD knowledge of system architecture. He needs a lot of exposure, hands-on and experiences, eventually in the technical side, ability to integrate business idea into a full fledged system design. He also needs to equipped with strong people skills such as coordination, influencing, leadership, interpersonal etc.

In short, it meant to be a lead/managerial/director level position, most of them have people responsibility (which team leads/seniors reporting to him), with probably at least 5 to 10 years of exposure in IT technical/System design/Integration. In fact these are what similar requirement to reach whatever (true) architect position in IT industry.

For a junior which doing system/solution design, usually a much appropriate title would be system designer/analyst/software engineer/solution consultant (hate to say i do not agree that consultant to be use in junior post as well, but sadly this seems to be the trend too...).

Anyway is good for you to be in the same team with those 6-10 years old birds in such a young age. Work hard and absorb their knowledge, very soon you will become a respectable industry expert!

how is it possible that you are 35 and with 18 years of working experience? That makes you start work at the age of 17 (the age of taking form 5 spm). And still you having your degree.. Can you enlighten me please.

Also I am very impress with your salary at your young age. Bravo...

probably part time degree 

Nice brother.. 70 direct reports and as an Engineer Director... Can imagine the hard work put in.

The salary posted here is unbelievable high. Is this real?? I have worked in 3 MNCs but yet the salary as I know off is not as high as what forumers posted.

This either could mean that I have been duped for so long or it is simply that people are boosting here?

What's the point of boosting when ppl dun know you and what benefit they get by telling the lie?

it depend on the firm. different firm will have different policy on allowances. but most of the firm will give outstation allowances, the amount could be range from RM30-RM50, for peninsular Malaysia. if the firm did not give any allowances for outstation, that certainly will have some alternative compensation such as free meal during the outstation period.
