Just wanted to put it out there, that working with an airline does not necessarily mean you will get high wages. Even engineers would get a starting salary of around RM5k++ right now. Right now, even wanting to get a personal loan of 10k is quite impossible (last I checked was February this year) due to the current status of the company and the circular from BNM (according to what the employee told me) that restricts anyone from our company to be given a loan.

The reason why i went to another engineering industry. Now im employed as a fresh grad engineer with salary close to 3k(not including allowance). Last drawn salary as aircraft technician was 2k for close to 8 month experience. Btw i studied untill degree in aircraft engineering. Sudah lari bidang, what to do, cannot survive with aircraft technician salary.

Yup, aviation industry in Malaysia actually pays below the average of the global industry standard. An engineer with a 20+ years of experience in South Korea is paid around 20k USD/month, while the same engineer in our own soil would get not even half of it.

There are a lot of us that are not satisfied with the current salary, but no choice. Circumstances prevents a lot of us to actually venture out of our own field. 

Are you planning to do dcam or easa paper? Thats the only way to earn higher salary in airlines.

Actually to earn more in this industry you have to get out of Malaysia, hence was thinking of EASA.

I wish you the best of luck. Especially with the Aviation Legislation essay paper. 

The thing is, Cert is still important as the deciding factors comes from Employers (they are the decision makers). Unless, the skills are applied in Entrepreneurship. I have seen many cases for those without certs or just diploma, they actually perform better than Degree graduate. However, their pay is limited by the scale / system hence no way for them to grow further till they advanced the studies. Cruel but real in many MNCs. 

tell me about it, some even request for SPM cert and results.. 

Yes in MNCs most of time those are still needed, not to proof the employee is of capable, but just for sake of papers compliance. Sounds pathetic rite.

Yeaps but most MNCs are cool with the results even a person didn't perform well in SPM, probably they just want to validate.

Not to say SPM but related Degree certification is usually sought, as assurance to the company and proof that you can contribute professionally and add values. After you got the entry ticket, the rests is by experience talks.

Hi all, need some advice from all of you. I am working as a IT Programmer

Currently I have about 4 years working experience and my current salary is about 5k.

I just joined a new company recently for few months but the job description is different than what I was told during interview. So far I got few job offers.

So my question here is that how much % of increment should I ask? Is 20% reasonable?

30% is reasonable if you are skillful

Need to look into T-Comp (Total Compensation that includes fixed salary, allowance, bonus) so that it is competitive package per annum.

I agree. Look at overall package and weigh from there. Good luck!
