Anyone here working on a daily rates as contractor? I was offered a 12 mths extendable contract of MYR600 per day. No other perks.

I have more than 7 years of experience, does the rate sounds reasonable?

If it is an 8 hour per day job, it's pretty reasonable but depends on your job scope and duration. However, the "no other perks" part is a concern. Do you mean no medical, expense reimbursement, transportation and accommodation? If you live in KL but have to move elsewhere to do the job, you may have to reconsider.

Without any background on what the job entails it's hard to judge. I'm paying my contractor a daily rate of RM4,000 and higher but these are for experienced telecommunications consultants in a risky area.

My desktop support engineer on the other hand is RM350 per day at a desk job in a cushy office...

Is a quite weak reference and misleading if those work and stay in oversea share the converted value without take into cost of living...
perhaps is time for ts or mod to suggest to post only converted value upon taking cost of living into account. internet have tons of those calculator..

Here is some example (pls dont take it at heart, i just simply set some examples so local forumer can see what is wrong with this thread reference and have better picture instead wrong perspective about local salary. No personal or ill intention..

cheers

Hmm... what are the pros and cons of each job?

3 yrs 4k i think is normal salary range....for me 1 yr exp ady can get 3.5k.
i think masia counterpart offer more if you do not convert.

personally i will take SG offer. for exposure, and if u opt to ulang alik between jb-sg u can save around $3k=RM9k. i have similar offer like u, $4k in sg or RM7.5k in kl.

So whats your choice after that? any advice for me?

Would you mind to share more about yourself? Are you a manager? how many years working experiences you have?
