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.

btw,what is MNC? manufacturing company?

and i got another call for ocbc bank,the call actually was screening test to interview me about my interest in ocbc vacancy, "Trainee Officer",paying at least rm2.2k per month....anyone know bout this Trainee Officer..he said i will undergo training for 3 months(forgot) then will be appoint to IT position and he also said that my job going to be involved with SDLC...

MNC = multi national company eg. Dell, Intel etc
Trainee Officer in bank - most likely sell credit card....I was also called 4 the interview but I din go. If u think u can do sales, then try this one as well....but b prepared 2 cope with pressure and meet quota.

sell credit card?? oh damm,im so not into that kind of work...
i think i will go with no 3 then save some money,take Linux & Cisco cert,then switch to IT jobs.....i hope i dont loose my Linux/networking troubleshooting skills..

Don't worry about ur skill. Try to save some money first. I have a lot of my fren opting to get experience ended up regretting their decision as they cannot even save a penny. U can still improve by using it on ur PC or get a part time job in Cyber cafe. Then mayb u can save money and gain other skills as well.

thx to u guyz for all those advices especially jasontoh...
btw,where do u working jasontoh..

I'm also a fresh grad....Going to work in intel soon. Actually I got a few offers even before this intel offer but i turned down as I feel that I won't be able to save some money. Although this Intel offer requires me to learn some semiconductor stuff (I'm only a Comp Sc. grad, not Comp Eng. and I ask for a position in IT dept but ended up getting a position as a GT for test engineer), I'm happy to accept this. Why? Because I want a job that pays well (so that I can save some and pay up my study loan), and also I have a feeling that the experience I will get will enable to to progress in the future. Anything, just feel free to express yourself. All the best to you....
