Job Title : Sr. Project Manager
Job Desciption : Manage multiple projects for the largest cloud computing company in the world. Mainly on software development and migration. Truthfully I do pretty much anything.
Years spent in company : 1st month
Company :
Industry : Computing Software
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Mid-level manager
Experience before joining : 6 years
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Master's Degree
salary : [yearly] USD 120k base + ~USD70k bonus, stocks + USD500/month transportation allowance
Location: New York City
Similar to Igloo0000, I have never worked in Malaysia before and started my career in the States.
From looking through Glassdoor, a similarly titled position in Malaysia for a large US company pays RM20k-RM25k per month. What do you all think? I know it cannot be direct conversion of 1USD=RM4 but my feeling is that RM25k/month in KL is pretty comfortable, especially with a working spouse.
I am very interested since I'm considering transferring to the Malaysia/Singapore office with my company and would like to know the market rate.
New York is a very expensive city, don't think USD120k get you very far. Yes, RM20-25k in malaysia gives you a very comfortable life, but this salary is usually for Director/HOD level, for senior managers, maybe possible if you're in the higher tier, or expats.

But you might also want to consider other factors before moving back: quality of education and other opportunities in US vs Malaysia (especially if you have kids), political and economic stability. If you follow our news closely, you would've read that more and more Malaysians are migrating out (especially the capable ones), not the other way round.
