P/S: please be considerate if u ever call 100 TM. We are human and we try to help

I think more like 50:50

Some people climb faster than others. Also depending on industry. If u are in a shit industry with laid back culture, then increment, bonus and promotion are slowwww

Just my opinion but it seems u never went to the real world. Do you think ppl earning RM1k to 2.5k and have to slug their life off to earn the money will be free to post in this thread? Do you think every single msians log into lowyat and post?

Also have u take into consideration of industry, places and etc?

Just FYI, there is another thread where ppl are complaining the low paying job and bad employers.

that seems to be over the top though.

one needs to have a starting salary of at least 4.1k, and have an average annual increment of no less than 20% to achieve 10k in 5 years.

most fresh grads don't even make that starting salary back 5 years ago.

EDIT:
and yeah, i'm one of those that got lowball gao gao

that's why i'm gonna say bye bye to Malaysia for the moment. Companies here are too stingy. Push me to work past midnight but still don't want to pay me what i'm worth.

You were lucky that they didn't offer based on your last drawn salary.

i've never once interviewed for a company that doesn't base their offer on my last drawn salary.

Which is why i'm doomed with low pay unless i can find that unicorn company that offer based on merit rather than based what my previous employer think i'm worth.

and when i try to blank out my salary details, or refuse to budge in to their request, they will dismiss me under the guise of "attitude problem".

Hence, i'm now contributing to the brain drain problem, gonna leave this country for greener pastures.

Well, I have a lot of interesting skill in programming world


.NET C# Moderate company (100+- staff)


To both,

I have to say one thing about my job, I have to choose to be the bad guy within the team to do things right. In the IT world, practically in employment world, there will always be "Do the right things" and "Do things right".

My team doesn't like me, but my end user / product owner loves me. So everyday I'm in work is a struggle because everyone in the team will sabo you.

I beg the difference.

Job : Supervisor
Industry : Tax
Work since : Graduate 23+

Worked in the same firm since i was a fresh graduate earning RM2,600. Now 5 years later at the age of 29 im earning RM5,200. Annual increment few hundred. Feel demotivated. Anyone changed job doing completely something different at the age of 30? My director told me stop dreaming and focus on my career path. It is too late to change.

so 7 yrs of experience in total? I think it's definitely doable, alot of companies are paying around that amount even for candidates with only 4 yrs experience, as long as they have the ability.

Job Title : Area Sales Manager
Job Desciption : Sales
Years spent in company : 1 and half
Industry : Multiple Industries
Experience before joining : 7years
Highest paper qualification/ education background :Primary School =.=
Salary : RM5k+Quarterly Comm+No Bonus
Location: Central region
Age: 28

Wanna ask any idea on others jobs aside from Sales Job? Due to low education.

Job Title : VP
Job Description : Banker
Years of Experience : 10 years
Education Background : Bachelor's Degree
Salary : RM25,000
Location: KL
Age: 35

Am I on par, below or ahead of the curve?

Job Title : Tax Senior 2
Job Description : Provides international tax services and consultancy
Years spent in company : 5
Company : Big Four
Industry :Tax
Experience before joining : 0 (audit interns)
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Degree - professional paper ACCA passed 1 only
Salary : RM4,900 inclusive of allowances. Been getting 10% increment since joining.
Bonus : 2 Months at least. This year 2.5.
Location: Kuching

You are way above the curve man. I don't think I can ever achieve your salary when I am 35.

Banker is too broad, really depends which division and same goes for the VP title . If its IB side, from what I’ve seen it’s on par if it is base salary. Also seen much higher base at ur age and much lower as well depending on division for same VP title . If include bonus probably below if IB.

Non IB. Excluding bonus

Is this normal salary for IB? Usually in a bank, how many people hold this position? Lets say Maybank or CIMB.
On average, approximately how much money did you make for your employer in 1 year?

I'm just trying to find the anchor for the market.

I don’t have statistics , I just know for the couple of people who im close to which is not a reprensentation of the overall industry. I’m in middle management , base just below winger. For wholesale banking including ib n markets, 2-3 yr bonus are still possible although has become increasingly rare these days as compared to earlier years and only the outperformers gets them. As for revenue, over the few years im in the industry, I feel that compensation is quite loosely tied to revenue generation. compared to the past .if anything it will get comparatively lower over time . either that or my boss has taken most of the bonus pie lol. But if u need some numbers , 100mio for a very lean team n ull probably get rewarded decently. Although this varies based on ur job mandate n sector.

Actually its already disclosed in annual report on overall compensation of material risk takers . I am sure you will be able to do the math on how many people and average compensation of these guys. Then you can guesstimate a middle management is making in these units . Cheers
