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.

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.
I'm in oil and gas/energy. Think exploration, subsurface, drilling. Not business IT...

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.

Yup, they are growing like crazy in APAC

Industry : IT
Experience before joining : 5 years (Total 6 years working experience since grad)
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Degree only [have no cert like CCNA etc.. Need to take one 4sure]
Monthly Salary : 11.8K

Start working in 2010 @1.8K doing helpdesk. Time does fly fast.

Not too sure mate. I mean for my case, I do not own any pro-cert. I failed my CCNA back in 2013 and never underwent for any exam till date. Some who own this might command better salary, though some might not. It really depends on other skills as well and how diverse one can be.

Yes I agree, median household income did increase but so does the inflation + expenses. Not being careful with current and future expenses, one can plunge into the depth of financial woes easily.
Yes bro I am in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

May not be worth it depending on where you are right now.. 

Wouldn't come back to Malaysia during this moment even if got better offer. The condition in Malaysia is not wise to come back.

I guess you'll land somewhere 10-15k if you have some 8-10 years exp.

BI/analytics talent demand outstrips supply by a huge margin everywhere in the world.
But yeah don't see a point to go back honestly.

Unless I met my financial goal and are going back to semi-retire.

Not really, there will be some support work and deployment that has to be done once or twice in a month and it happens during Saturday or Sunday. The money/hours work is not that great actually.

yup. planning to stay.. but received better offer outside.. just want to know BA range outside my current company.   
Don't believe.. take as motivation to achieve something higher..   

Mostly visio, sql dev and lots of documentation.. hope this answer ur questions.. 

I am assigned to mobile application and regional wealth management system.

Business intelligence.
