Good company to work for, terrible industry to be in for the next many years to come. For those job hunting out there, lots of jobs with fantastic work life balance available as well. I'm in the office 8ish in the morning, out by 5pm. Maybe one evening call a week, can't help it with a multinational. This is not the first company I've worked at with decent pay and good work life balance so don't give up.

You're right, I am 30 this year.

Job Title : Assistant Service Engineer

Years spent in company : 2 months
Company : Japanese MNC
Industry : Light Machinery (Plastic Injection Moulding Machine)

salary : RM2,500 basic + RM650 car allowance (Petrol, toll fully covered) (Travel alot to JB or Penang, around once or twice every month, meal allowance when outstation RM50 per day)
Location : PJ

Need some advice, my purpose for joining this company is that is allows me to have some hands on troubleshooting experience (which my university doesnt provide), but I'm wondering if long term servicing is an OK route? Or should I go for handling projects? (salary wise)

My plans now is that I'm taking Japanese Language course and planning to get a Masters after leaving this company(maybe after 1 year or 1.5 years), or just get a part time masters while working.

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.

Life is hard 

Most of the work today is still on premise eg. high transactional/large datasets but many have moved to cloud native eg. ERP or email. The former will likely go to hybrid eventually.

Job Title : IT specialist
Age : 29

Years spent in company : Fresh, just finished my probationary period, 3 months
Company : Local company
Industry : IT
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Junior executive
Experience before joining : graduated in 2007, 3 years spent as an electronics technician (RM750 salary, yes 750!), jumped shipped and worked as an IT technician (RM1.1k salary, 2 years), another 3 years working as a visual editor cum technician for the gov (contract basis, daily paid, end of the month can get 2k MAX only    )
Highest paper qualification/ education background : HND in electrical and electronics engineering
Salary : RM 2,800 (basic + allowance + commision)
Location: Sabah

As you can see, the pay over here is a very VERY crappy one and I can't seem to 'grow' here.

Should i just try too start over in west malaysia or maybe in singapore ?

The gov, I believe has imposed a minimum wage of 800 here and comes july, it will be 920 if I'm not mistaken. I have had several friends/relatives working in some well established private company for more than 15 years and their salary is still under the 4k mark, got a few in manager position somemore.. Most of us here still uphold the mentality of working in the gov sector to land a decent pay.

Is it just me, or people with low pay don`t share theirs here?
because from the looks of the salary posted by members here, The numbers are high and I don`t think that`s the average salary for most people.

I might be wrong.

Anyways, here`s mine

==========

What would you do if you`re in my shoes? and why 

the company i work for, the pay is not much, but the benefits for my situation is good
1. the avg increment is 50-150 per year for staff.i work well (200-300) around now. so my increment is considered high (maybe for diploma level)
2. my degree studies are payed fully by my company (30k)
3. study and exam leave
4. r&d company, alot of high tech stuff i could toy around with. kinda cool
5. 8 hours working per day and that's it, i get home on time. ( i think this is not common thing in private companies, and i don't know why)
all in all, i really like working here. My concerns as of now is
1. the pay kinda sucks so i've been told
2. i have reached a point where I feel that I don't grow much, compared to when I first joined the company

his is alright. 8 working hours is pretty standard throughout the developed world. this is not scandinavia lol.
