I beg to differ. It is not. We have this period called "off-peak" when there are not many engagements available but too many idle staff. It is better for the company to let you clear your leaves during such period, rather than allowing you to go off during the peak.

Plus in my opinion, my life don't just revolve around my career. I want sufficient time to slow down and see the world. We had been working consistently through the nights, at times even until 3-4am (and I'm not exaggerating), I think we deserve the long break.

But of course, things are different when you slowly climb up the ladder until when you're an audit manager - which it is more difficult to get a long leave due to clients commitment.

I am currently looking out, to seek for higher position, AM or M for my next job. But it is quite hard to find the position I wanted as I think many people still waiting for their bonus before moving to next job.

What are my options? Want to try to request 20% raise on my current paycheck from my current. Any comment?

on clearing leaves, no problem. i know you all always have the so-called "peak" period, it all depends on your client's fye, it can be peak all year round. so there's no peak to me, only when is your report is due.

okay, 3-4am is not really a thing to shout about.

but kudos on your progress.
fast tracked career, 4th year can become AM with more than 5k salary, 6th year can become Manager already.

about 4 years + experience in total. started working around 25+ or 26?

what did you do before that? study till 25?

late bloomer. didn't really find the importance of studies that time.

indeed, at least a couple of years late. at the age of 30 or early 30s, many have already break into the middle management level already with salary breaching 5 figures or should be close already.

but it's never too late. however, on your asking salary, no one can judge whether 20% is fair or not, only the potential employers and yourself. so it's up to you. if you think you're good, you can even ask for more.... like 30-40%?

Yeah, thinking of taking up some courses to brush up my resume to add more value to my skillsets. Thinking to pick up languages since that's the easiest and cheapest alternative options compare to digital marketing and stuff.

no doubt, you can do it.

but the E stuff will take over the world in the future.

Yes trying to find courses to take but E-marketing is so darn expensive! Can't really afford it.

just gotta save it if you wanna pursue. otherwise can go for alternative.

So at worst age 35 need to be manager and earn rm10k for normal ppl?

What is the right percentage of salary increment that would make us jump the ship ??

I'd say minimum at least 20%. I did once and got around 28% increment.

Hi guys, i just beng jobless for a week or 2. SO i planning to brush my resumes, and i wanted to join companies that are doing Marketing not sales. Im from sales background previously. My degree is Business Mangement. Any hint on what i shud really pursue? im confuse myself. thank you

suggest u do soul searching. trip to india works.

Why is it? enlighten me more?

Do aware that the possibility of your salary restart when you switch expertise.

There are many companies that offer marketing positions. Can always go to linkedin/ jobstreet to explore more.

If you're confident with your market value. It shouldn't even be percentage based.

Just let your future employer name the first number and negotiate from there.

And if it turns out to be something you don't want, you can always say no.
