I'm from science background. Now 32, baru hit 7k and this is already my 5th job. Imagine my colleague who stayed at the same company, i wonder what are they getting. The only positive point was i got some good incentives while working as a pharma rep.

I would say u shud tahan for at least 2 years here, then try to find someplace new...pretty sure u will get something far better with the experience u have by then 😉

well .. we are in the same field. I am working for a local SI as well. what I can tell u is.. save up and get some certs. definitely will help u to boost up your salary. I am an IE now and getting 5 digits. with 6-7 years of exp. so way to go bro.

My plan is stay until my major project ends, which will be 4 years later I guess hahahahaha. Then only see how the company treats me lol
Hahahaha wow you got good salary there. Good thing about my boss is he is willing to pay for my certifications. Company provided me a full CEH courseware but I find it a little overkill for me as I am still studying R&S and firewalling extensively. Unfortunately we are so busy until I have no time to study at all. Barely to study on weekends and a little bit of free time.

Yup, I was quite frustrated when it comes to wages and benefits. Like what you guys said, volunteer job. My boss says engineers with wages of RM2k above do not entitled with OT pay lol wtf? Its totally based on company and I am unfortunate enough to be in this company which "follows" the employment act to avoid "extra expenses".
But I don't think there is another company which can offer me job scope like this already. As a fresh I think I put experience first.
Any System Integrator (SI) companies around to intro?

hmmm if u r into networking probably R&S is a better choice. CEH is nothing but to learn how to use tools. if u r into security then probably the best hand on cert will be GSEC GPEN etc ... for firewall it's really vendors game. each vendor have their own products and certs :z. at least R&S provide u the general knowledge which u can still utilise it if u r not doing Cisco.

Run. Amyone who ask u to stay is idiot.

There are alot of companies out there that can provide what you wanted!

Only RM14K?
With your years of experience I think should be around the region of RM50K.

hse manager can earn rm50k? adibyusoff beto ka?

Don't you find my statement a bit sarcastic?

hse manager can earn rm50k? adibyusoff beto ka?

I am 33 IT Business Analyst Senior.
Earning : 7.1k/month in Penang.
3 years in this MNC. Previously also MNC with 9 years experience.
Previously had a team leader/supervisor role in the dept but due to being unable to go up to a managerial position I departed. Now I am not in a leadership role.

The longer I work, the more I think what I am doing is very menial and not really learning anything new.  I launch applications throughout the world for the MNC, work on the development a bit. In terms of technology I do am not an expert in it just have to know the application well on the front end and help the site users to troubleshoot and ways to upgrade the system to suit their needs. I am finding it hard to find new jobs cos I don't fit into the technical skill-sets of the job they list out.

7.1k for a 33 year old seems very little to me.
I used to earn better income than my peers but since the past 5 years i am crawling while they seem to be climbing up as managers and what not.

How to get out of this Rut?

time for you to spam your cv and jump ship when the opportunity present itself bro
