support engineer have flexible time right? standby 24hr?

i would choose 3 better hours and nearer to house

no,the jobs more like system engineer but i also not sure y its called supprt engineer.
there is no standby time,as i had been told by the panels.work on normal hour.
no 2 is wide n very broad company,since it covers Australia,Holland and Asia PAcific..
i think my value will be high a little bit if i go with this one.especially when i want jump.

I'd go for no 2. I assume that you have a degree right? Ya GD very hard to expand and anyone can do it.

and its not like GD has better hours anyway.

My suggestion : get job 2 . Dont worry about the distance. I know lots of people who actually live in Nilai/Seremban/Semenyih to work in kl

u forgot to mention the companies' name

ya,i will have my graduation this august...atm,im only using my transkrip results,actually they din have any look at my cert (choice 2 & 3)....during the interview session,they ask lots about my skills and technical parts,not even touching my academic result.. im lucky that i can answer and explain to them very well..

erm,im also think postion no 2 is good enough for me ffor my future position...im willing to relocate for this position.

position 2 is at Flexi e Solutions.
position 3 is at Bernama Solutions & Provider.

in this case no. 2 seems better
working in mnc is always better hehe

I will choose graphic designer if I were you.

Yes, me too. I will also choose graphic designer

my suggestion will go to 2
u learn more and meet more ppl ... therefore it improve u alot 50 mins drive is ok ... i need to drive around 60-90 mins per trip daily, if hella jam sometimes need 180 mins per trip O_o ...

which uni are u from?

uniten...

GD? im afraid that i will stuck forever in that field,my value will be evaluate based on my creativity and projects...any GD in Lowyat.net that has build successfull carreer?

I will go for 2nd or 3rd..

In KL, everywhere u go takes about 50minutes...
Me from Old Klang Road go KLCC also need that much time but only 15minutes of no jam.

Support engineer can learn more hands-on stuffs and graphic only sits infront pc and sometimes meet client

2nd is good choice,but pls prepare for the high cost of travelling

ya,2 is high cost travelling....
if i do math here,i can say that 2nd job salary will be lot more lower compare to 3rd job due to cost travelling...
but if compare to experience and future carreer,i think 2nd is better,am i rite?
im rily fresh grads who stuck in 2 most critical choices..

for a career wise, I prefer no 2. and I think it suits your interest. for the sake of getting the experience, I think u can bear with transportation cost and time to commute. and if u're willing to move to nearer place, that will be better.
so good luck dude. the choice is in your hand.

Think,which do you like most.
Since that you like choice no.2,i'll say go for it.
It may take 50mins to travel but you'll be working much happier there.
Think which you're good at and whether you're able to work under stress and whether you'll be able to work happy there and excel there as well.

Working in a place where you like and you're happy there,will definately be the right choice.
I'll rather choose something that I like and will be happy there.

i think you should choose option 2.

reason as follow:
1. You like this job the most among these 3 option.
2. MNC is always better than local company.
3. Networking/ server thing having better prospect for you, if you're IT gradute.

If I were u, I will choose 3 bcos u can learn other things which can be valuable to your next job. Besides that, you can learn to cope with pressure and meet deadlines. Mayb after working for a year or two you switch to IT jobs. While u work in this place, u can save money and invest wisely in stock and funds. That's my opinion. BTW, I do some research and found out that flexi e solution is not an MNC. I know that MNC usually pay fresh 2k and above.
