Will be having a phone interview with the hiring manager later. Few questions:
1) do you share salary details in MALAYSIA with the hiring manager? Weird right? No context.
Even in Malaysia I don’t feel like sharing it to the hiring manager. HR yes, not hiring manager lo.
2) How to find out the right salary range of my job scope, level and industry? Glassdoor? I think my headhunter told me a lower salary number to expect?

good to refer,but normally i just check my current pay and set myself how much i worth here.

1. I will share, if he asked to. This is actually depends on the person himself.
2. You take 1:1 salary range with MY salary la. But usually kinda hard. I only manage to get 1:1 my last MY drawn salary after being here for 1.5 years...

I am 4 years here and not even one to one yet lol

Thanks for the reply...

but you two work in same job scope right? got naik level or similar??? cause if i change, i naik level kua. Just want to understand...

Cause frankly speaking my pay in malaysia rise abit slow la, so abit behind my peers lo.

i havent reach 1:1 of my msia salary yet also...
2 years soon...

LOL yeah, same here. New job but less than Malaysia number..Starting soon

but you can save more than msia right?

if nvr really spend on other things sure can save better here haha...
and we msian are frking pro in saving money :/
wonder how we survive msia where 1 cup of starbucks is 16++ while here only 6++...
with the salary not that much of a difference

15 years here.

Food: Go wet market buy and cook. Save a lot. NTUC or Sheng Siong also cannot fight. Go back weekly and bring whole week of food in luggage. Fresh and cheap.

Transport: Wait till got a baby then sure need a car. Baby stuff a lot. Bring them see doctor also troublesome especially in the middle of the night without car.

Accommodation: Lucky to find an empty house and the owner is oversea. Just stay in free and maintain the house.

Monthly expenditure for a family of 3+1 is around 10k. Where got cheap. The locals complaining living cost high is true you know.

Education will be a problem for my kid. Foreigner hard to get good placement in primary schools. International school give the impression of rich kids who won't bother to study. Discussing to pack bags and go back Malaysia now.

that accomodation part...syiok= =

Fionajie u dun talk cock la. 10k per month is nth to u.

The chap fan near my work place & rented place not nice compared to kl. So seldom eat chap fan...Rather eat chicken rice $3 every day.

Hi just want to ask
6 years experience working as business analyst in Sg drawing annual package of SGD80k is it underpaid?

how about total working experience? if 6 years flat at SG i dont see it is low, but also depends on responsibility and capability.

very subjective. if your MY experience 10+ thn SG 6+ thn different scenario as well.

My last MYR drawn is not that much pon. Typical Fresh Grad with 1 year exp. Around 3k-ish la...

Slightly similar la. But jobscope here is more more dynamic la.

Still, i dunno whats my new environment later. I'll be reporting in for the new job somewhere end of April.

Your last drawn MYR mesti banyak kan bro...
