so are you satisfy with ur current job? may i know the company name?

Well not really. I believe my skillsets can attract better salary package. But as I mentioned previously, I do not have certificates even I graduated from Mass Comm because it was a double degree; can't get the cert if one of the two aren't complete.

Company name? Haha, that's too blunt bro. All I can say is ONG HSE industry.

normal for fresh grad 2.5k below.. but some can get 3k and above depending on company.. if u think it's ok with the current salary then just stay on, gain as much experience then only u got power to nego ur price.

That's because Asians value titles a bit too much, thus there is a seperation between a job title and a grade title. Executive is usually referring to your C levels, but over here it is the entry level, followed by the managers, then the AVPs, the VPs, the SVP, maybe the EVPs, then Directors, MDs, and only your C suites.

I have to reteach this every time I am running the compensation survey because it is aligned with global standards thus I keep having to remind the heads that executives do not mean the entry level positions.

US always use annual salary as their base.

before i join this company i was working in manufacture as a design engineer (in electronic). since the economy down and a lot electronic base manufacture started to retrench, so i jump ship to construction to be project engineer in electrical. the jobscope actually quite different compare to engineer in manufacture, so when i join this company only can consider as fresh grad status.

i feel kinda sad when i saw a lot sifu here already earning 5k and above at my age. my current position actually is not a electrical engineer at all, i m also doing mechanical, process and touch up a little on civil. i scare i wont be so competitive when i jump for higher pay, because all work i do only half bottle, not very detail and technical.

Any advise.

no need to be sad. I was earning peanuts when I was your age. and I am still earning peanuts now.

the truth is most people are earning less than u but u will not see them post. Malaysian are more or less kiasu like Singaporean.

Somehow feel that I still got a lot of catching up to do... salary-wise.

I guess you should be in your early 30s right?

Yes, 32

But with that salary should be comfortable already right, assuming your wife goes to work as well.
