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) 

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?

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.

it depends.

Cause my industry sign-on is not 10k, we talking 6 figure, u take the money and leave in 3 months?

Compensation for move might be diff la, talkign about relocation fee etc liao.

is for my lowly manager level.

Also its rare for a sign-on with term.

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

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. 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.

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!

Questions for thought :
1. Should you gain more experience / different knowledge from different company culture and industry sacrificing monetary terms?
2. Considering first question, at this age should I be focused more on learning as opposed to monetary terms?
3. Considering second question, at my age just starting a family , what should be a better choice? Experience VS money ? ( assuming you have a decent life now, wife is actually working, going to have 1st kid in this coming year, at the moment sufficient money to pay mortgage, car loan and house expense.. )

Anyone can share their experience.. they call this, mid life crisis eh ?

Thanks fuzzy.. Your comments are very well built with experience  

I'm certain for what I currently want which is definitely equipping myself with more knowledge from different company.. As mentioned before its a manufacturing plant and I can definitely learn more than trading.. But this price tag definitely  comes with a huge sacrifice on my current life.. 

Anyway just an update:
I wanted to ask about my offer letter since there's no reply for about 1 week+ now. So yesterday called one of the HR mobile but didnt pick up, probably I called during lunch hour so didnt pick up.. Tried again after work but still didnt pick up.. Drop whatsapp message, acknowledged read around 12am + .. This morning 8am called again still didnt pick up What do you all think? "BIG" Bhd company gives verbal confirmation, chances of kena FFK is high or low?

Now my future is hanging.. Already tender at my current company, at the same time no news from future company..

Underpaid or reasonable?

Field as in? And that salary with my current qualifications or after gaining a few years of experience?

I have a question about the pay of working on a national holiday/rest day.

My contract says that I don't qualify for overtime unless by law/Employers guidelines change.

Do I still get paid 1,1.5,2,3 times (or whatever rate) if I work on a rest day/national holiday?

Btw, over 5k rm salary.

But the thing, when a fresh grad work for 3 years, would one get 7k? I definitely don't think so.
At least also 5 or 6 years to reach a clean 7k.

How I wish I could get salary jump like you did. Started as 2k nett, now close to 4k after 2 year. Don't know when only I can hit 5 figure salary.

Which field you in and what position you holding?

From 3k jump to 90 over k? What industry are you in?

Yeah, no doubt those help alot. But in the norms, it doesn't happen all the time.

3k to a five figure is indeed an impressive jump within just 5 years. Is your company in HR industry or you're in the HR department of a company in other industry?

depends on what job you're talking about. are you talking about research guys? fund manager? or back office(support)? or economists?

subcategory investment or asset managemet. lol. i wasnt referring to corporate finance or something that specific

edit: ah i know what you meant. shouldve read his/her carefully. yeah my friend works in Finance department, i think he's confined to his desk for most of the day. that kind of thing drives me mad. thank god my job lets me go outside and meet people

Something I find interesting in this post is that some people here say they are Executive/Sr. Executive level, and I start wondering do we have a different definition of what Executive means. Executive level in my understanding is people above me, probably earning millions a year, with at least an Executive VP title. And I don’t make this up, if you go to global recruiters hiring Executive level people, they are looking for at least USD 300-500k base plus all sort of bonuses/stocks which can stack up to million.
