if you come from a pure programming background, then you can do well...
i jumped 3 companies in 3 years, although you do need to show your capabilities during interview.

Programming background? U mean IT or computer science?

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?

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.

Haha, how many of them can enter Google or IBM?!
What about banking industry?

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.

10k not enough la.. Just imagine u are living with 10k salary till 60yrs old.. In the case, I would rather pick up business and commerce, get acca..

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.

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.

Go China for designers
