I think the figure are too ambitious. According to my friend teaching in UTAR, Kampar the salary range for Prof. is around RM15K-20K, Dr. is around RM10K.. Perhaps in Setapak salary range is higher but certainly not till that figure.

Mentioned there is only once, I think it's okay..
Nope, it is very okay..!
If it requires frequent times per month then raised eyebrow, unless it's peak period..

For project wise of perspective, working that long hours for about a month is pretty normal, the cycle routine of a project..

Wahh so many rich people here. My current salary is just 2.2 after 1 year into this company. Been looking for other jobs but with useless degree (science) no one gonna hire me. And with my company facing trouble due to cheap steel prices I can say bye2 to bonus and increment. But location is not kl and there's home provided to employee so I don't need to pay toll and rent.

I'm thinking of taking SAP cert. How much and duration of the study? Is there pre-requisite requirements?

The poll, which was conducted between August and October this year, found that 54% of Malaysians believe in job loyalty and are willing to stay for more than five years with an employer, 32% are willing to stay up to five years and the final 14% prefers to job-hop after a year or two.

The findings reported that the number one reason employees look for greener pastures is when their career advancement have plateaued in their organisation.

I assume you just started work since you put fresh. I guess don't put money as major consideration. Even Chinaman company have something different for you to learn. I suggest you look at experience wise first. Money will come sooner or later when you are getting better at what you do.

If there's not much of commitment you need to bare, then is fine la. Because experience can really exchange with money.

Wahh so many rich people here. My current salary is just 2.2 after 1 year into this company. Been looking for other jobs but with useless degree (science) no one gonna hire me. And with my company facing trouble due to cheap steel prices I can say bye2 to bonus and increment. But location is not kl and there's home provided to employee so I don't need to pay toll and rent.

I'm thinking of taking SAP cert. How much and duration of the study? Is there pre-requisite requirements?

you're doing great at your age. You prefer to be on the management side but currently in technical line for network / servers. Maybe try to take up PMP cert so that you can be on the consultant line later? Usually people would go for Cisco Certs but since you dont want to forward to technical line... PMP i think best for you

you are right. However, i currently take bus and LRT. combined cost of transportation a day is rm 10. per month is around rm200-250. and still live with parents. no gf too. after minus expenditure and give parents money still got around 20% for own saving.

yes, not enough if i stay outside, got own car, OR got gf.

life is hard. im actively finding part time jobs in weekends. gotta work hard when young

It is standard rate for freshie if working in local company.
MNC company can pay you more, starting from 2800++, depends on how you perform in the interview and nego with the HR.

Work hard with passion. Do not get used to work overtime, it is not a good habit.
Good luck in your career. nod.gif

It depends on the field that you choose to study.
My degree was business while master is IT because of personal interest.
I would say master in technical field is worth to study.

Oh, machinery. High margin business if your sales is good. I thought for youngsters, people are still looking at your certs. But since you have the experience, maybe certs are not important in your employers' eyes. biggrin.gif

Hardly find any company in Malaysia to beat 3.5month bonus.

But 5years experience for less than 4k is a no no for me, I prefer higher salary > bonus..... if got both nice la brows.gif

Last time I heard with basic is RM900 + Commission. Else is gonna be full commission based and it is depending on your capability.
*
I juz interview a property agent company.. If got basic salary is rm1500+100 allowance so total is rm1600. But the commission is quite low. 30% of 1% the property cost. If full commission without basic is 70% of 1%. So what's ur comment? Should I survey more property agent company?

It is relatively low. A number of competitors are providing better pay
Its not a shared service center but a research company which is subsidiary of US based Fortune information services company

If you tracked my post... my initial salary was WAY lower than this. Close to 30% less from current salary
I was lucky the management deemed me to perform well and been getting promotion
Some recruits started at even lower than mine, the only good perks is the rather numerous leaves and such
Hence we have such high turnover (the low pay coupled with frequent significantly heavy workload) laugh.gif

So difficult to jump ship bcos this company is specialist + monopoly, means no competitor. My exp not related to other trade, so if change company need to start from zero, except project management skill. But work quite flexible and relax. Increment not good, if i stay, bad for career development. Should I seek for other job and lowered my expected salary?

Since there is no career development, then why you still stay there? For me, I rather quit now than dilemma on changing job in future. I believe there's other opportunities which can transfer your skill, eg project management. Btw, market now is bad. Resign only after you get a new job biggrin.gif

Can't totally agree on this. Would say that it does affect the impression on your prospective employer, but if you are good and the reason for your resignation is justified, i believe they will still hire you.

Apologies, I'm not responding in respect to your advise to a particular person. Was just commenting on the statement that you provided. Surely it is better to stay on and find a job before resigning.

Staying another 6 months, if it brings you experience and money. If life is hell at that company and you don't learn anything at all, it's better to move on. Rather than spend 6 months achieving nothing at all.

Yes, he should leave if he finds the working environment is not suitable for him. Sometimes the job only provide you money, some experience. But I'd say go for experience first whenever you are young. The money will come to you soon when you have more experience. IMO it is hard to find jobs that gives you the experience and money at the same time.

No worries, it's all about sharing our thoughts in this forum. wink.gif

For myself, I am gaining experience in current company. The money is not good enough as I had received better offers outside. Being me rejecting all those offers because I am following a good boss, and there's still many things for me to learn in this company, though this company is sh1t. laugh.gif

Nice bro. Excellot normally sub it out as they are more to fabrication. Alpha testing is thumbup.gif but sadly they can only do NDT. Visual inspection will be conducted by Certification Body. That is why they engage with my company a lot to carry out certification works. All the best bro.

IF you really can pick up some skills from the current company, I honestly suggest you stay put and get through the other 6 months. I initially wanted to leave my current company 3 months into working the company, but I stayed and I picked up some skills. I'm still with the company for 1 year 2 months now.

Your resume would look alot better if you can stay for 1 year, at least they will not question you so much on it, and when comes to managerial level, your past record looks better.

Highest paper qualification/ education background : Bachelor of Science (Maths)

Cons: no/limited career advancement, repetitive work (can't develop more skills), cant bring hp to office, job will probably disappear soon (automated by computer programs).
Pros: easy job(spm oso can do), repetitive work (it's a pros if u want easy life).

I feel like my degree is kinda wasted(since the work spm grad oso can do), I'm in my comfort zone now, I want to switch to a more challenging job like programming but no experience/knowledge, and the economy is bad. i dun wan to do any kind of sales job...

Do you thought of becoming Stock Analysis - require paper to qualify as one.

Makan gaji wont go anything higher even you like programming - is a tough job when cant deliver or really built 100% meet user expectation is die standing. Somemore programming need to crack your head until all your brain cell die to solve a problem.


For me if you have opportunity to learn investment -is a skill and can use many time without stress.

lets just say the allowances are not worth mentioning, so yeah it's pretty much just rm4300.

to the guy wondering about the salary discrepancy, not sure what's causing that. maybe because my job is more into design, and the other guy's more into production? I dunno. But my company is OEM.

Perhaps, R&D or design team which required matching skill and qualification.
eg. hardware engineer usually required engineer from electronics/electrical background. (correct me if I am wrong)

Not like production/manufacturing department, people who study chemical. mechanical engineering or even non-engineering can be process/equipment engineer.

Employment Level : Basically the lowest in hierarchy
Experience before joining : 3.5 years
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Degree in Engineering
Salary: Basic = RM 5.5k + OT + Allowance
Bonus: 1 month (13th-month) + Performance (2 months last year)
Location: Everywhere

Monthly salary varies from basic 5.5k , to 20k, depending on the job and location.

I think the pay is fine, as long as I work somewhere, I get the extra money from OT and allowance.

However, ever since I joined the company I didn't get any pay rise (since oil and gas is having a real bad time). In fact the whole company didn't get a pay rise so I cannot complain. My boss is being nice and I think my appraisal was one of the better one among colleagues, which is why the 2 months bonus last year (which is consider very good for our company already).

I am a little bit worry, since my basic is quite average / below average, it will definitely impact the salary that I can ask for, for my next job.

Appraisal time is coming, not sure if this is a good idea to voice out the concern to my boss. But seeing the whole company didn't get pay rise and the whole industry is down, don't think will be useful to voice out anyway. Any suggestion from fellow sifus?

I think the figure are too ambitious. According to my friend teaching in UTAR, Kampar the salary range for Prof. is around RM15K-20K, Dr. is around RM10K.. Perhaps in Setapak salary range is higher but certainly not till that figure.

Doubt your friend is telling the truth.

Starting pay for PhD in engineering is 6.35k inclusive of allowance. PhD in other fields, except medicine, get 500 less than that. Increment is only 290 per year for assistant professors now. Slightly higher for associate and full professors.

Salary range is pretty wide but I can't see many earning more than 15k unless they joined at the start under the old regime.

I think for a manufacturing peoples to pursue in O&G you might want to consider FMC, Aker, Asiaflex (Technip), Wasco, Boiler Master, Tepat Teknik, Petra Fabricator, Petrofab etc

Too bad the O&G job market right now is really bad... But no harm trying...

It's industry wide bro, not just in your company.
If you can't negotiate for a salary increase why not negotiate to be sent for a really good training course instead. That way you're still developing your skills and can still use it in future interviews.

Recently just get a car(5 years+ C segment car) from the company that can be use as personal car. After the recent appraisal, I get around 10% increment and 1 month bonus for 2015. Am I getting good pay/benefit? I just feel the 10% of 2k+ increment is still kinda difficult to survive in KL. Or am I too greedy? rclxub.gif

Have you accepted the offer? It's difficult to get jobs these days. If you want to play it safe, you should just accept the offer first while looking for another offer eventually. Since you're just starting out, every experience will be a good experience for you. Try and supplement your income by doing part time job (you can drive Uber Black if it's black and C-segment since it's not over 7 years' age). Also, try and start something. Go to Magic and see what you can get from them and also get to know people. It's a who's who's world out there. smile.gif

It's industry wide bro, not just in your company.
If you can't negotiate for a salary increase why not negotiate to be sent for a really good training course instead. That way you're still developing your skills and can still use it in future interviews.

Yeap, I guess this is why everyone is keeping silent although this is the second consecutive year which we don't get increment. Actually heard news that company is starting to reduce head-count and cutting some contract staff sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

Still got sent for training last year, not sure about this year, requesting but boss say will have to depend on the budget since the main focus this year would be "cost" lol ....

Anyway, guess it's not a good time to jump anywhere now. Just pray my future job will look at overall income, not the basic salary. Else would be very tough unsure.gif unsure.gif

Are you married or having any commitment? That could affect. But as a single being work and live in KL, I guess shouldn't be a problem with the salary and the increment you have. Of course if you have a gf then you might need to prepare like 500 every month to spend on/with your gf. xD

Your salary and benefits pretty similar to one of the company I know. Not sure it is a standard practice for certain industry. Ur salary and benefits is a little bit higher than avg fresh grad. But since u are in software engineering, i believe u could earn more if u r really good. Easily can get 3.5k to 4k for fresh. Anyway whats most important is the exposure u get. If current company unable to provide u work exp and knowledge then maybe u should start to look into different company after 1 or 2 year work.

RM2100 for 18 years old consider alright. Perhaps you can get training on programming so that you can earn higher on next job switch. I suggest you stay put and look for job, only resign WHEN you sign a new offer letter from another company.

Good luck in your future undertakings. wink.gif

You already got your answer. Fresh with 3K is good. Somemore you got OT, try to work for few years then jump to another company. If you demand now they will first ask you what can you contribute to the company since you are fresh.

Fresh grad with 3k starting pay seems pretty decent in my opinion.
Is it in design, operations, supervision or what area of construction?
Plus you get 2.2x for OT which usually is quite a lot if you work at site. Late night casting/concreting is common.
Do you need to work saturdays? or is it considered OT? You might wanna check on that.

Just office base, Office hours, but not a call center.

Personally i think, each profession also have its career path, like in my company or previous company, I do have APAC CS manager manager all the CS manager, and Global level CS director. it just depend on you capability and luck whether you will be there or not.

Open up jobstreet, searh for Customer service Manager, you can see many good range of paid there. The best learning point in CS i think is: super patient - need to explain thing to customer over and over again. Negotiation skill, try to reach an agreement with customer without compromise your company policy or profit. and you learn to deal with all sort of people.

just like any others profession, it have it good and bad.

Guys, if you think U r way under paid then you all should look else where, please do not stay in ur comfort zone. Just a bad example ( Nowadays bus driver in Sg works 5 days a week before OT will get SGD 3k salary). I planned to quit ( and I did quit after 5 years) my 1st employer when I first attend their introduction course, they are good for their training program but way under pay most of their employee.

Do you guys think it is a good move to go in ONG industry while it is at its low? I might be able to get the marketing position in a company that sells equipment for ONG. Still thinking if is a good move.

Sweet..Can get me in once your are there.? Lol... My personal view is fine to join as long as well paid but when it comes to yearly sales budget, you gonna be very cautious in setting or accepting company budget. It will be ambitious but has to be realistic given the current situation.

4 yrs nit fresh grad anymore. What's your job? 4.4K is not low for 25-26 yrs old

Yikes, I meant to say since a fresh grad blush.gif
I'm a marketing cum admin , etc. multi task worker shakehead.gif
The comm we had is not fixed. Sometimes if we are lucky we get rm1k-2k else <rm1k.
So to add that up, my basic + comm isn't that high (maybe less than 3k) with epf sos co deduction.

Consider better than the programmer in my company. Less than 3k and almost hitting 40 years old. Location Ipoh. Or maybe we dont need that much of salary in ipoh. Not comparing the salary in ipoh/kl, its just ....

Very true. Never convert back to MYR unless you live in Johor. You earn and spent in SG. Unless you manage to save, then you can convert it back to MYR with the remaining balance.

Well what have been mentioned in the job scope on contract is quite matching. The down side about it is I've to deal with government sectors and supplying tools as an value added service to customers. Quite troublesome thou. Sourcing and developing new customer based under government sectors is not as easy, eg: when you tried to call any person in charge in a specific department, your call maybe diverted to the whole sector before you are directed to the correct person.

Good thing you have a matching JD. Mine was totally different. I deal with government sector as well but on license applications, procurement & stuff. Doing things that is totally not match with my JD at all. :/

Well I take it as a pinch of salt. Learn as many as I can and leave the company with skilled worker. laugh.gif What do you do on marketing side? Your company have budget for you to do marketing/brand awareness related events?

Well title given was marketing but my JD is sales. Well, there's no need of marketing in this line as we are doing services. Most of the customers are return customers.

Been trying to put it in a way to learn and leave. But heart breaks when you realize your colleagues doing a similar job but is getting almost double of what you are getting. The sick part is I'm not even entitled for Commission.

Not to take a piss at you in general but after conversion, you are earning less than 900 usd a month.. you are better off starting a small time internet business that will give you same salary, with ZERO work.

Job Title : QD Executive
Job Desciption : Lab work (Physical test & microbiological test on company products & Documentation
Years spent in company : 5 months
Industry : Food & Health supplement
Age: 24
Employment Level : Junior
Experience before joining : 0 years
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Degree
salary : RM 1500
Location: Ipoh

I was jobless for short period until getting this job. The salary during probation period was RM1200. I accepted the job as I was still fresh graduate and wanted to stopped being unemployed while earning experience first.

Working hour weekdays 8-5, Saturday 1/2 day. Can claim OT. Benefits are still acceptable.

Few days ago I received confirmation and got increment by RM300 (because my supervisor wrote RM300 increment and submitted the report to the boss).

I think that I am underpaid and feels demotivated, after working so hard at this company (I am the only person who's doing the labworks and most of the documentation).

I feel like dropping an email to my boss (he's at subsidiary company and hardly able to see him) to negotiate the salary. Is it okay for me to do so?


Is there anyone who knows the average salary range for QC Executive?

Honestly doubt you have the bargain power to renegotiate the salary. RM300 upon confirm is quite standard IMO. Is either you seek for other job opportunity or you stay put. But I'd strongly suggest you don't look at the money first, but look at things that you can learn throughout your stay in this company. Pick it up and leave together with you when you resign. Pick up more skills means you have more bargain power in future employment.

When you look for job, let the future employer know what have you learn throughout your stay in your current company. That's your ultimate "power" card.

Good luck. wink.gif

Talk about salary is not enough.
talk about Net salary or gross salary?

If you know the tax computation from here:

or this tool

then you will know what is the difference.

fresh graduates should not look on how much money company would offer

when you don't have any experiences and proof your ability to company, do you think any of company in world will offer you with big salary?

put yourself in position of boss.. will you hire someone with >3k for fresh graduates with no experience, not to mention, there are many 'fake certificates' nowadays.. i have seen em many in my company.. after 1 month.. straight terminated by regional boss

so, gain experiences first then only you will have power to bargain

well. if you don't have any experiences, company prolly will offer you with low salary - that is my point

My stand is working in BIG city like KL needs relatively higher spending, hence you need to work 2 job aka get a part time job aside from your full time.
This is to sustain your life.

If you work in your hometown, away from the BIG city where you can stay at home (living expenses low), hence you just need to live in comfort zone and save.

I was a fresh graduate 2 years ago with salary not more than 3k, now after 2 years still hardly reach 4k, not to mention you ll be taxed on ur income yearly too. So the take-away package after deduction from taxes and EPF is hardly there to sustain your life, which I agree.

You have the options:

1. To move out from your comfort zone by moving to Spore / other countries to work (which can gain you x2 or x3 earnings).

2. Work 2 jobs in Malaysia (with part time)

3. Work full time + Invest smartly (this is sooo difficult for fresh grads out there provided they hv been trained guided properly on the strategy and with capital)

Which you see yourself to be in order to earn?

Hi guys, I'm undergraduate diploma student, well I left a subject to graduate as diploma holder.
So base on my case, is that possible or eligible for I to participate in any kind of internship?
Well, I haven't graduate yet and I have single subject left, plan to use those free time doing something. Other than part time job. I choose internship over part time, since I want to earn experience than salary.

Just a brief update to my pay due to the increment effective Feb 2016. I received an increment of about 15% due to a promotion, if without promotion, normal increment should be around 7-8%. I'm curious to what my fellow engineers (in similar role) are earning with 5 years of experience, especially in the Penang market.

Guys, i'm having a dilemma and would like to ask all the sifu for some opinion.

I'm a civil engineering student (going to grad in one semester) and i'm under a scholarship bond from a local GLC (construction/developer)

I'm anticipated to serve my bond for 3 years ( according to the agreement), however, now they had developed a new program (graduate program), in which the program would last for 5 years and i will be bonded to an extra 3 year after the bond ( total 8 years).

The program would train me in order to become a PE/IR and will borne all the costs associated with it. However i am doubting the quality of the program as i had attended some of their program before and it was just bad and boring.

I'm still considering which option to take, 3 or 8. As i had some previous bad experience of the company culture during placement with them (2 times internship).

Any advice sifuss?

Take 3 first. If you think the company has "future" in your career development, continue work there? And I guess there will have chances for you to get involve into training as well even after your bond is over. wink.gif

After the bond, if you have plans to work in the company for a long run, I believe there will be person for you to speak to. I'd strongly suggest you go for 3 years. 8 is too long. You wouldn't know what happen in 3 years time, 8 is totally out of the question.

Believe me, the management would ask you to stay even after your bond expires, provided you perform handsomely. Why worry about it? wink.gif

After the bond, if you have plans to work in the company for a long run, I believe there will be person for you to speak to. I'd strongly suggest you go for 3 years. 8 is too long. You wouldn't know what happen in 3 years time, 8 is totally out of the question.

Believe me, the management would ask you to stay even after your bond expires, provided you perform handsomely. Why worry about it? wink.gif

That is exactly what i worried. I'm one of the best achiever (of my batch), good grades, excellent co-curricular experience and also managed to contribute to my faculty through my own initiative.

I doubt i would have problem looking for job in the future. What is worry is the company culture.

The good side of the program is that i have a guaranteed job, and all the expenses (for collection of professional development hour) would be borne by the company, which is a lot. Also from my senior, who are in the program (a different one, for executive 3 + 3), they said that the involvement of program is a major factor in promotion. Which is another dilemma man.

Dont be so sure on this. Things might hit u hard unexpectedly.

But then..choose 3. 8 is too long and a career killer. No other companies out there going to pay the penalty for a 8year bond.

Good to see that you are seeing this in a long run, but 8 years down the road is too long for a person who hasn't graduate. Not to diss at you but I honestly think that there are many other opportunity out there.

For the bolded part, I suggest you read through the whole section on what people struggling in work life. Many people achieve 4 flat during their studies but perform badly in work. Again, not to diss you or what but simply it is a different environment in work and study. Never take these lightly, but also take it as a pinch of salt. Too lightly, you screw up. Too hard, you depress. laugh.gif

Good luck in you future undertaking. icon_rolleyes.gif

Just a brief update to my pay due to the increment effective Feb 2016. I received an increment of about 15% due to a promotion, if without promotion, normal increment should be around 7-8%. I'm curious to what my fellow engineers (in similar role) are earning with 5 years of experience, especially in the Penang market.

Guys, i'm having a dilemma and would like to ask all the sifu for some opinion.

I'm a civil engineering student (going to grad in one semester) and i'm under a scholarship bond from a local GLC (construction/developer)

I'm anticipated to serve my bond for 3 years ( according to the agreement), however, now they had developed a new program (graduate program), in which the program would last for 5 years and i will be bonded to an extra 3 year after the bond ( total 8 years).

The program would train me in order to become a PE/IR and will borne all the costs associated with it. However i am doubting the quality of the program as i had attended some of their program before and it was just bad and boring.

I'm still considering which option to take, 3 or 8. As i had some previous bad experience of the company culture during placement with them (2 times internship).

Any advice sifuss?

Hello? To be a PE/IR u just need somebody to mentor you, a PE with certain requirements. Company try to con you. Training you is for their own benefit, they should cut any expenditure on employees that wants to grow.
Cost to be a PE/IR is not that much, and surely not worth the 5 years bond.
I suggest u take the 3 year bond and get a PE to be your mentor.

Do not sign a 8 years bond. How much does the training cost? Usually around GLC, 10-15k = 1 year bond, so unless the training and benefits is worth 150-200k, it is not worth it. Taking this bond also means you are not allowed to take any other forms of scholarships, which can come with a much much laxing requirements (some even don't have bond periods).

Plus, 8 year bond essentially discourages other companies from buying you out and in a way, might impede on your immediate salary jumps.

I'm surprised nobody asked this question - what happens if you break the bond?

You need to be able to answer that question before you do your cost benefit analysis. If you can simply break the bond by paying a nominal amount of fees, I don't see why you should ignore this offer.

You need to think about the benefits too. I have no idea what program or which company you are talking about, but in my company, people who have been identified and placed into a program will get exposed to higher level stuffs (including exposure to senior management) much earlier, and hence their career will be fast tracked. In my company, not being placed in a fast track program places you in a distinct disadvantage against your peers who are placed in a fast track program. If you are really so damn good, you will be able to pay or find a way out of your bond when you eventually want to jump ship.

The calculation is like this, (if i take the 8 year pathway)

Leave 1st year - Kena penalty for both scholarship and the graduate program cost

3rd year - Kena only graduate program cost

The ratio of penalty for scholarship is 1.2 while for graduate program should be the same, they just revised. Literally pay back whatever they had spent on you.

Abit long on the bonds (5+3) . Your lucky that ur scholarship only 3 years bond for degree.Mine is 5 years.

The cost of IR dont think is that high. just its not easy to obtain that qualification.

Anyway dont jump directly into choosing. Since you went twice for placement i guess you have met some of their workers. do talk to them maybe you could know a thing or two regarding the company. Salary wise, work demands and etc. sometimes they have a catch behind all these offers.

Mind to pm me what GLC are you talking about?

To become PE you don't need much cost one. I "heard" friend say its about 10k max for the CPDs, on high side because he need to travel to attend the class, hotel and stuff. That's about it. Its 10k over the 3-4 years so its fairly manageable with your salary. No firm can guarantee you can get a license one even you do everything in their program, it all depend on your skill in the end in the interview and exams.

The only attraction should be the promotion advantage, if there is. With big firm you get to do big stuff too.

I doing C&S in a small firm, don't get to involve in any mega projects, but good enough to survive. Depend on what you want lo in the end.

I think it's lesser than that.

Prior to GST (2015 price) biggrin.gif
BEM Mandatory courses (3 x 350) = RM 1050
24 CPD for related discipline course = RM 1500 (More or less)
Professional Competency Exam = I don't know how much this will cost (post July 2015) ~ RM500?
Professional Interview = RM 150 (If you are IEM member)/RM 200 (if you are not)
Professional Registration with BEM (if you pass) = RM 350


For July 2015 onwards, these are the only money you have to pay.
Is it worth the 5 years bond?

I was jobless for short period until getting this job. The salary during probation period was RM1200. I accepted the job as I was still fresh graduate and wanted to stopped being unemployed while earning experience first.

Working hour weekdays 8-5, Saturday 1/2 day. Can claim OT. Benefits are still acceptable.

Few days ago I received confirmation and got increment by RM300 (because my supervisor wrote RM300 increment and submitted the report to the boss).

I think that I am underpaid and feels demotivated, after working so hard at this company (I am the only person who's doing the labworks and most of the documentation).

I feel like dropping an email to my boss (he's at subsidiary company and hardly able to see him) to negotiate the salary. Is it okay for me to do so?

although cgpa does not define how good an employee maybe, a lot of employers (especially bigger companies) will set a min requirement of 3...

I will go for degree as a safer choice.

If your career cant grow due to work experience, its your luck and you can always get it later

If you career cant grow due to no degree, its your choice and you dont wanna take a degree in a later age

what's the average pay of a diploma in IT fresh grad?

results so so only. around 2.5cgpa.

and how is the progression compared to degree grads?

should i study degree for another 2 years

or

get 2 years working experience with diploma?

which is better?
*
Both also important. If can afford the time and money I suggest degree as technical field sometimes employer especially MNC will look at your education level. Sometimes get stuck at certain level due to no degree very frustrating.

Some ppl lucky enter company that dun care education level also got then become director.

Which industry and which location are you referring to ? There's a large disparity in fresh grad starting salaries across industries.
You can refer to https://www.glassdoor.com/index.htm for some references.

For those of you in IT. Whats the rough maximum bracket in IT software development? I'm around the RM10k, range. Wondering if I would have to branch up into the management/project management field to get into a higher bracket up to the RM15k range?

I think 10k is a decent figure...probably normal now. Saw many people posted a much higher figure here. sweat.gif I'm guessing we have to branch into management field to get into a higher bracket. I wonder whats the pay range for those in IT management field. Those who are actually managing projects and etc.

All I've seen are those salary reports from Jobstreet and Kelly etc.

i had quite a number of friends who made the jump from technical to project management (business analyst / project manager), maybe you can consider taking that path too. not too sure about the pay range though but i am sure they do pay well.

Unfortunately management is the only path to go for most organization. Though, I believe its not for everyone.
I recently took a pay cut to "downgrade" from management, back to technical path. Human is more complex than system sweat.gif

RM10k for 7-10years experience is not uncommon for cream of the crop(especially team leader). Also, IMO if one hasn't break RM5k barrier with that kind of experience, I'd be very careful on hiring them.
I've seen it for any major languages. PHP, Python, C, Java you name it. Language is merely a tool.

Why u drop from management? Zz..
So basically, programmers maximum pay lies between 10-11k? I have seen Senior Java programmer age 41 still at 10.5k.. Feeling so bad for them.
However, what about networking with CCIE? Or SAP ABAP?

Job satisfaction.
Working career is not all about money and status. Plus I'm still young, I can pursue management role some other time.

Not sure about those specialized certification. Generally, its hard to get more without moving to management role.

Progressive tech company like Google or IBM usually have dual career path. You can either join management or stay in technical path. Pay grade is almost the same.

Most probably similar. Maybe plus a good bonus.

I don't have many friends in banking or corporate. But I can definitely see that project manager is doing much better than senior developer of same age.

Let me ask u frankly question,
There are so many software developers/IT people, what are the chances do you have to climb up to project manager/management side eg, CTO, team lead..

Such is life.
Stagnation in salary is very real issue. That's why some chose to be contractor, consultant or even start their own venture.

But think of it this way. You have stable job which earn you 10k with 40 hour work week. You're pretty much richer than 80% Malaysian already.
Not to mention that as you grew older, your priority changed. You'll appreciate the value of time. You're more risk averse.

Would you prefer stable income, or possible zero income? many, of course, are not willing to take the risk. That is up for another discussion, on another thread.

I have been working for 20 years now and still stucked in the same position as an exec. No chance to be a manager since there is lot of manager around me and my AGM, GM sucks as hell.

My salary stucked for 3 years already, (gaji mati) and my company only gave me & my 3 friends a compensation around RM4K for last year. The 1st time the gave us who got (gaji mati).

I tried to apply for the manager post & my GM told me, he will put me under job rotation. But until now, no news and i think my GM forgot already.

So sad. 20 years working and some of my junior got AGM post d and some of them GM.

Pity.

Looking forward to work in NZ in the near future. No luck for me here.

Making reports, arrange payments seemed challenging because got issues and i can learn a lot from there.

Designers no future because 2 of my friends already gaji mati, same like me, designer.

Ah kinda rare to see people who downgrade to management from technical. I've met a senior who did that and the main reason was he wanted to spend more time with his family.

Just curious though. Do you know whats the rough pay grade for IT project managers or the pay grade for Senior Managers in IT Consulting firms?

IMO you are doing good enough. I am only earning less than 4k and I'm 29.

For me it does not mean anything even if you earn big buck without having the knowledge on how to use it to generate passive income. ie buy property collect rent, investment, etc. tongue.gif

Some people earn big spend big.

should be a way technical pose goes to management pose biggrin.gif

You're totally missing my point.
What I'm saying is, your salary will likely remain stagnant if you don't go to management role, as team lead, is your peak point.

Moving to management, from technical path is common.

Basically IT company
i worked as a designer in my early years working for the company, then change to service management, making reports and send to vendors, vendors send invoice, arrange the payment for them.
Making reports, arrange payments seemed challenging because got issues and i can learn a lot from there.

Designers no future because 2 of my friends already gaji mati, same like me, designer.

IMO you are doing good enough. I am only earning less than 4k and I'm 29.

For me it does not mean anything even if you earn big buck without having the knowledge on how to use it to generate passive income. ie buy property collect rent, investment, etc. tongue.gif

Some people earn big spend big.

Nowadays people tend to complaining about how their salary cannot sustain them for a month and such, but in truth is that they did not have a proper finance management. Don't get me wrong, I myself can hardly sustain as well but I am learning. Lucky for me, I am switching jobs next month and I had a pretty much good increase from previous job. Since I am able to sustain myself in this pay, with the next higher pay coming up, I should be able to sustain myself properly with savings.

I would strongly suggest fresh grads surf online and check out on how to sustain yourself and invest with the savings you have. You never know when life decides to hit you hard right in your face. It's always to good to have precautions steps taken/ emergency funds ready.

I'd suggest you go for those bank FD first; as those are relatively easier to understand, lesser commitment compare to those investment that you need to spend some time to learn. ie. Eastspring investment, f0rex, shares.

If you able to save up a portion of your salary and start on investment, you are having a good start. Not many people can afford to save up due to their mindset and monthly commitment.

I was jobless for 1 year and 6 months before I got this new job, but after joining I realized my passion to work GONE.

I had very bad experiences in work due to politics previously. Which is confidential and would not be mention here.

Demanded 4500 to 5000 salary but every of the companies rejected me right away. This was part of the reason I was jobless too.

During the time I was jobless I search and countless of trial and error earning money from the internet that would work efficiently, tried elance, freelancer and few other websites that promotes work from home from the united states job, just try to imagine the salary they are offering there if we could work from home here in malaysia that would means quad salary for us, but to no avail I couldn't get a job after months of trying.

I was already doing reseller before I went jobless, good profit gain. Just the rolling money on monthly basis need to be strictly calculated.

Then I found SEO which would require me to have a website to earn commission from my downline. This is all I can reveal for my SEO.

Some part of investment is also needed.

Not everything on the internet is a scam, need to carefully do research.

Good enough. Put in FD and learn those interest, at the same time throw yourself to learn some investments such as shares. It's gonna drain your time like crazy. Also can consult some of your friends who work in bank or insurance line. I believe they have some plans for people who want to invest other than insurance. smile.gif

Usually they will negotiate hiring u for say 2 years with a fixed signining bonus. Whereby u need to stay for 2 years.

In my industry its quite significant and we usually treat it as 2 year's performance bonus.

6 figures is for what level?

My sign-on came with no caveat, even though it was a huge sum, simply because they had to compensate the coming and deferred bonus, share options, etc etc ... I was going to be missing out by moving to the new company. So yes, I could leave tomorrow and keep that amount. Compensation for move here doesn't refer to relocation fees.

The only bond I have is simply due to the sum they need to pay to the STF but even that is strange considering the sign-on far exceeded the STF sum.

6 figures is for what level?

My sign-on came with no caveat, even though it was a huge sum, simply because they had to compensate the coming and deferred bonus, share options, etc etc ...  I was going to be missing out by moving to the new company. So yes, I could leave tomorrow and keep that amount. Compensation for move here doesn't refer to relocation fees.

The only bond I have is simply due to the sum they need to pay to the STF but even that is strange considering the sign-on far exceeded the STF sum.

is for my lowly manager level.

Also its rare for a sign-on with term.

Ya, sign-on usually don't come attached with terms. But I won't be surprised, especially when talent is increasing rare.

I asked and got paid an crazy amount of jump partly due to this.

Maybe you can focus on one area of skillsets that you think you can control and expand from there? Like marketing, you can learn SEO, SEM SES to further enhance your marketing skills in online area. For accounting is ACCA, CFA. Maybe you can look for one within your job scope? wink.gif

Can say nobody require my skill here. Ipoh needs more sales ppl. Everywhere is looking for sales ppl. Try to land a job in a bank but openings all sales ppl. Not picky but even there is a similar job in Ipoh, I dun think I can hardly survive with the nett salary. I'm lucky currently I have commission from the online sales generated recently. It doubles my salary for 4 months straight. but yeah, I can't be too dependent on the commission as it is not fixed sad.gif

Doubt your friend is telling the truth.

Starting pay for PhD in engineering is 6.35k inclusive of allowance. PhD in other fields, except medicine, get 500 less than that. Increment is only 290 per year for assistant professors now. Slightly higher for associate and full professors.

Salary range is pretty wide but I can't see many earning more than 15k unless they joined at the start under the old regime.

I think his friend must be damn kidding on him.
Even medicine faculty salary also not that high, including allowance also.
Unless the Prof is 60-70 years old and damn famous in Malaysia.

Yeah.

UTAR doesn't pay that well. Even if you teach master's course, they only pay you a maximum of 30% of your basic salary.

Think only the medical department has a much higher salary. Not sure how much is that, though.

Maybe you can provide more info like which firm you're currently in or targeting to join in? Big 4 will have a different pay scale compare to the medium firms. I assume that you just have a CAT on hand and no other degree, if yes, 1.7k seems reasonable for Big 4. Do take note that medium firms will pay lower than that

No. It depends on your package and your circumstances.
But of course if you're a applying for operator, nurse or secretary, very very unlikely to have this type of package.

Asking this on behalf of my husband as I wish he get another job...

Job Title : Sales Manager (Small Branch)
Job Desciption : Head of branch, leading 15~20 salesmans/admin, manage branch daily operating work
Age: 36
Years spent in company : 4 years in logistic department, 4 year in sales department (total 8 years)
Company : Chinaman company
Industry : Automobile
Experience before joining : 0 years (first full time job after he graduate)
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Oversea Degree in Supply Chain Management
salary : Basic RM 4000, allowance (500~1000), no commission, side income (1000+-)
Location: Selangor

Other info (which I dislike):
Have to work on weekend (both Saturday & Sunday)
One month only rest 1~2 days
Need to work on Public Holiday but can come late and go home slightly early
Company like to hold meeting after working hour or on public holiday

-----------------------------------------------------------

I felt he is underpaid for his long working hour, and I dislike his company culture..

Is it normal for people working in Sales Line to have this kind of working culture? And is it hard to get a better job nowadays with he qualification & experience?

Consider alright. Mind if I ask for your age? I think with 2 years experience you can have at least RM3000 job. But I wouldn't recommend to ask in this company cause you have not pass the one year mark. I think you have higher chance of getting the salary you request by hopping to another company.

As for no allowance, what kind of allowance you mean? Do you require to travel? Work in weekend? I am in marketing, retail industry as well. But I have RM100 for phone allowance, and a slight higher pay compare to yours.

Normally sales are having like those that you dislike; especially when comes to manager level. But pub & clubbing I am not too sure about it though.

I reckon he can opt for other industry but he had to start fresh. Does he happy with his job or only you are unhappy? Sometimes it's all about give and take. But with his experience he definitely can get higher salary than current. I am in retail industry as well, but I only doing marketing back end support. I'm hopping to another company and my basic is close to his. 2 years experience here. :/

I shared previously but I think it sank down the drain. laugh.gif

Age: 29 as of 2016
Job Title : Event & Marketing Executive
Job Desciption : Basically "bao kah liao". laugh.gif What also need to do. From marketing to accounting, dispatch, operation, coolie, driver, designer also involved.
Years spent in company : 1Y5M
Company : Chinaman company
Industry : Retails
Employment Level : Executive
Experience before joining : 4 months
Highest paper qualification/ education background : SPM
salary : RM 2800+ allowance
Location: Shah Alam

I am serving my resignation notice and next week would be my last. Have a raise of more than 25% increment on next job and I have no complains. laugh.gif Total experience would be around 2 years plus. Many forumers here said is close to impossible to have more than 20% increment on job switch, but I guess what you can do is to prove to them that you have the skill sets that they are looking for. icon_rolleyes.gif

My plus side would be the events I did during free time. Been running charity events since 2011.

My ultimate target
- Have at least RM5000 in two years time
- Passive income of at least RM1000 per month (Before 35)
- Involve in business
- Savings for future
- A HOUSE!

Many forumers here said is close to impossible to have more than 20% increment on job switch, but I guess what you can do is to prove to them that you have the skill sets that they are looking for. icon_rolleyes.gif

My plus side would be the events I did during free time. Been running charity events since 2011.

My ultimate target
- Have at least RM5000 in two years time
- Passive income of at least RM1000 per month (Before 35)
- Involve in business
- Savings for future
- A HOUSE!

Good on you. To those forumers who say it is impossible to get 20% for a jump, why do you even bother to move then?

Asking this on behalf of my husband as I wish he get another job...

Job Title : Sales Manager (Small Branch)
Job Desciption : Head of branch, leading 15~20 salesmans/admin, manage branch daily operating work
Age: 36
Years spent in company : 4 years in logistic department, 4 year in sales department (total 8 years)
Company : Chinaman company
Industry : Automobile
Experience before joining : 0 years (first full time job after he graduate)
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Oversea Degree in Supply Chain Management
salary : Basic RM 4000, allowance (500~1000), no commission, side income (1000+-)
Location: Selangor

Other info (which I dislike):
Have to work on weekend (both Saturday & Sunday)
One month only rest 1~2 days
Need to work on Public Holiday but can come late and go home slightly early
Company like to hold meeting after working hour  or on public holiday
Have to entertainment bosses (pub & clubbing) (about 2~3 times a month)
-----------------------------------------------------------

I felt he is underpaid for his long working hour, and I dislike his company culture..

Is it normal for people working in Sales Line to have this kind of working culture? And is it hard to get a better job nowadays with he qualification & experience?

Too low salary and bad culture..Look for other jobs NOW

Yes, very bad culture. Sometime need to buy branded stuff for bosses (higher level manager) or go expensive place to celebrate their birthday (extra expenses for all these although will shared with other branches managers)
According to my hus, to entertain bosses is very normal for big company, if he dun make those bosses happy, they will look down him and give him trouble in work..

If a company does not value the staff by their performance but by the skill of how they lick their shoes, what is the point to stay right? hmm.gif

My husband ask me not to blame him if he got no money to support our family after he quit from this job and cannot get other better job. Of course, my intention was to ask him to get another offer before quit.

Is it really tat hard to get a job which is better then his current one?

Consider alright. Mind if I ask for your age? I think with 2 years experience you can have at least RM3000 job. But I wouldn't recommend to ask in this company cause you have not pass the one year mark. I think you have higher chance of getting the salary you request by hopping to another company.

As for no allowance, what kind of allowance you mean? Do you require to travel? Work in weekend? I am in marketing, retail industry as well. But I have RM100 for phone allowance, and a slight higher pay compare to yours.
Normally sales are having like those that you dislike; especially when comes to manager level. But pub & clubbing I am not too sure about it though.

I reckon he can opt for other industry but he had to start fresh. Does he happy with his job or only you are unhappy? Sometimes it's all about give and take. But with his experience he definitely can get higher salary than curren t. I am in retail industry as well, but I only doing marketing back end support. I'm hopping to another company and my basic is close to his. 2 years experience here. :/

I guess maybe I am the only one unhappy about his job, else he wont stay with this company for so long right?

The problem is he is too used to the culture of the company already. Also, he's in his comfort zone and is refusing to come out.

You are still in the standardize bracket ranged of salary, go to jobstreet and see how many people are offering 1.5-2.5k 3.5 - 5k example of the salary they are offering.

Is all about confident. If you don't have the confident when you ask for the x% increment and provide some evidence, it's hard for them to justify as well.

Well, it might not be the reason. Maybe he couldn't find any other suitable jobs? I guess you need to talk with your partner about it, let him know your feelings and thoughts and see what's his.

Indeed I am. It is hard to jump out of the "box" as salary range is quite transparent and a company has certain budget they need to keep in order to maintain their healthy budgeting. With 2 years of experience, starting from RM2000 to what I have now, I guess I am quite lucky as well la. laugh.gif

Big MNC company doesn't need any entertain as brand was already well known. Entertainment to me is more to personal desire (I mean his boss) instead of the needs of job. My personal thoughts with that age and experience, he surely deserve more at least in the range of Rm6k above and with 5 days working only. Dare to take the first move and best of luck.
