Starting to feel like we can and should be doing something more than just stating our salaries. Anyone with any wild ideas?

You can't be taking him seriously. With 7 years worth of experience, what's your expected and what's their range?

Try 3.8 first, let them nego until 3.5 then take the offer.

Now much you think you should be getting paid?

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.

But if you like me, everything is memang money first.

Haha bro, maybe you can post yours here too.

I am quite interested in your age. 25?

Indeed a role model for youngsters. But 7 companies in 3 years, didn't those company question?

With or without basic?

Last time I heard with basic is RM900 + Commission. Else is gonna be full commission based and it is depending on your capability.

If no career path on current job, pick up all the skills that you can learn from the company, stay at least 1 year then can start look for jobs. Potential employer would look at how frequent you job hop.

He is already there for 6 months, I don't see any harm for him to stay another six months. Plus, he needs time to find job, no?

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.

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.

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.

This job no contract bond? For how many years? I didn't know management not good & typical Chinaman company is pros to some people.

How long is the bond?

Gonna suck it up and carry on. Maybe you can try to climb the corporate ladder? By the time you finish your contract, maybe you are very skilled worker can earn big buck in somewhere else or climb high enough in your current company.

Sudden jump from 3k to 5.2k? Wow?

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

How old are you right now? I'm having almost identical planning as you too. Wanna get a house but it's like so friggin expensive.
