Would any of you accept a job offer with a lower title and grade than the position you've
applied but could pays your expected salary, with the same job responsibilities?
And why so if you do?

i think different people have different priority.
For some that want higher pays/expected pay, of course can grab the offer.
But if it were me, i will try to find a job with higher title and grade, as for next job search, it is easier to ask for higher position, which most probably can have higher pay as well.
However, if the offer now with lower title but pays a lot better than current job, i think not too harm to take it. As at the end of the day, your title for next job can be justified with your experience, not solely based on last job position.

Just my personal opinion

Haha nope. Quantity Surveyor deals with contracts and money. The commercial side of construction.

Wahh so many people in early 20 earning more than 5k. Malaysia kearah high income nation.

Not quite sure about your field but if compared with IT guys I think you are doing good. Slightly above the average but can be higher.

can be higher?? like how much higher can give an estimation ah?? im planning to jump ship after 1 year

7-10k at age 27 is possible. In IT industry some foreign companies that setup branch in Malaysia can offer up to 10-12k for 3 to 4 years experince person. Especially if you are pioneer. It’s rare but not impossible. You have to join before they hire a local HR.

When interviewing, skill and experience aren’t the main priority. Make friend with them in the interview. Talk big and make yourself stand out. Invite them to the pub. Talk about dream, vision and girls. Basically talk cock.

Be aggressive. Plan for it. Script it and keep practising. Rehearsal all the possible scenarios. I am not a natural born talker so I usually spent few hours and days to prepare my interview. In the pub or dinner, when the moment is right, tell them u plan all this and tell them your motive. Be frank. Do it smart and sincere. Earn their trust. Usually you will get what you want. If failed then try next job.

That’s my experience. Sit diam diam wait for increment not gonna go far.

local HR memang lowball gao gao huh?

Ya. Their KPI is to hire as many good candidate with as lower possible cost. They know the local market rate too well. 12k 3 yrs experience, the resume might not even pass through their filter.

7- 10k as even after everything like EPF SOSCO deducted?? or after?
