The greatest decision that I made ever is decided go to shanghai couple of years ago. Now going to resign in this summer and decided pursue MBA in one of world top 10 business school - targeted RMB 500-600k annual package after graduate.

exactly, my friends also said that..
i did ask for permanent position but he said cant, contract only available.. and after contract end, can be permanent..
its O&G company, so i'm not really convinced about that..

yes, i am looking out actually.. alright, thanks! 

Im very screwed up now. I have studied something that i dont really like. It doesn't mean that i like marketing but i just don't feel like working in law firm because their pay isn't that high either, but very stressful.

KL. My company is a medium sized company, they couldn't afford to pay the amount that i demanded. I thought ok lah, maybe i would get a raise later. Too bad no increment after probation and now they even announce there's no increment this year.

No, I have not. I have just completed my law degree.

I would need to do CLP and then chambering for 9 months before being able to be a lawyer.

I cant agree with you more. One of the greatest decisions i ever made is to go to shanghai 1 year after grad. It was a great experience and i was able to use it as stepping stone to apply for a top 10 B-School in the US.

Congrats on your B-school offer! Which school are you attending? 

Hi all, just want to seek some view/input from you guys. Saw Gadang Holding offers job opening in Jobstreet and thinking to apply it.

Hows the environment? people? working culture and ultimately their remuneration package?

Hi guys, I would like to hear what's your opinion on jumping ship increments. I see the increment more than 20% is only worth jumping. So the increment is based on your basic salary only or do you include your fixed allowance in the calculation also?

What do u guys think? It's not finance/business related job which I can compare to others so idk where the bar is set

But yeah, since it's an "operational" role and the term "operation" could mean a lot of things, it's very tricky to find out what would be a decent salary for this position.

Hello!

I would say not really haha. But it's a very niche role although it's non-technical.

The interviewer really tell you that? Does that mean that they encourage their own people to leave after two years in the company? If a person I interviewed change job often I will asked in detail why and then judge will I lose him again in the near future. No use to me if that person is full of experience and I lose him in the near future and start my recruitment all over again. But then I havent really interview in Malaysia for the last 5 years. . SO maybe things have changed.

I think it all depend which level you are at.

If you at 5 figure range 30 percent offer is too much for a company.

But if u below that range then its different story

kid, please be patience with salary stuff, improve your brain and technical skills are the main thing to be focused. $$ will come along when you show good value to corporation. I'm actually paying ~RM300k to engineers that really good and experience one..and in fact, RM300K is considered cheap in Asia compare to china, singapore, taiwan...

construction industry in Malaysia is....

Hello guys,

I'm not sure if this is the place to discuss this.

Anyone knows the reasoning behind expat salaries and packages being ballooned out of proportion? (No offence to expats reading this).

Some expats in varying industries are earning more than triple or quadruple their local counterparts and subordinates are earning. On top of that, they get allowance, accommodation paid for, if they have kids their tuition fees are paid for...etc.

I've even heard cases where their allowance is so much that they don't even touch their salary - so it all goes into savings.

All this, while their local counterparts and subordinates are earning a fraction of their salaries. And struggling with various types of commitments.

At the end of the day I can understand that it is all about managing your funds vs commitments. Also the expats probably come with tons of experience and motivation.

But are expats really worth the money they are being paid? I mean can't they find a local to do their job?

Lastly, I do not mean for this to turn into rant but I'm just trying to understand the justification for companies paying so much.

I say all this, coming from a semi oil & gas background - I say 'semi' because I am on the vendor side of things and deal with a lot of oil & gas contractors here.

Would like to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for your insight and I would say almost a consensus in terms of what I have observed in my short working life of 10 years.

It bugs me a bit that these wage gaps are so pronounced. Hence why I want to know the justification.

I guess this is the glass ceiling for locals in expat dominated companies?

I guess it's just something we have to live with here eh?
