it's good to hear that you have been offered with jobs to choose. i shld said: "congrat!" but ur attitude seam to worry me (more if i were ur employer to be)

yes most company (especailly mnc) will have thier policy on salary offer. of course, in ur (and most fresh grad) case, urs will be at lower end of range, and it's mostly the entry level/grade.

u would also wanted to consider the job nature, what it's job desc, and more, not only the salary. ur targeted field like testing is quite common nowaday in penang (coz lots of mnc hav it). but there is 2 majority. one direct support on manufacturing, one is on development. both will have thier own benefit if u r in. validation ,design and R & D (R&D term is actually a bit too wide to be defined) will be straight forward, but will mostly limit ur future advancement.

without handful and useful exp, u r way far from "talented" in worklife. u cld be talented in some way back in uni time, but study and work is totally a diff things. oh man... what happen to nowaday's fresh grad...? yeah, probably u r 1 of special n most talented fresh grad out there. but with odd kind of attitude, ur talent will not be fully appreciated... think!


GT has limited benefit compare to regular employee, and more, they have a 1 year contract!! after that, the supervisor will decide to convert it to regular or kick.

hahaha... industrial trainee is diff from graduate trainee!! anyway, how many years back u got that 300 bucks?

hahaha... but u must take it as GT, and prepare to be kicked out 1 year later (bcoz u only care about that 3k)... just kidding!!! they r not that cruel, i think

wow!! if u dig deeper to get more info, u will find out what u have miss in the 1 year life as a GT compare to that 2.5k diff.

anyway, that is not my point. do think on what u wanna get for urself in long term other then monetary. worklife exp is more useful then the number when u advance further. and dont get me wrong on the GT, nothing really bad to be a GT. in fact, it could be a stepping stone to advance.

good to hear u r not everything $$$ person.

i could only partly agreed on ur 3 scenarios/cases. hahaha... the 2nd case sound familiar!! hav ur lecturer been worked in a factory or design a product that could sell to market?? if not, then he/she probably dont really understand how important manufacturing tech? a basic understanding of that is always good. btw, did they say wanted to offer the job to u already? or they just ask if you can accept the salary offered? remember, it's not done deal until u get the letter. that's people called "art of interviewing"

yup, right mentality and personality plus ur technical talent, u will build up ur value quicker then average. but be minded, engineering graduate not a guarantee of getting a job. competition is always tough

good luck to ur interview in pg.

oh ya... to add: 1.8k is really low nowadays for an average engineering background freshie folks. maybe u r too screw up with the interview and the company still offer u but with that low salary. still... engineering doesn't guarantee u a job!
