What is the ideal salary for fresh graduate in Malaysia?

by the meaning of "ideal", I'd say getting paid 10k for doing nothing.

But to be honest, it depends on the industry, ranging from 2.5k to 3.5k, with exceptions to some highly sought after positions with high requirements.

p.s. I'm guessing

Around rm2000

depending on field la.

Depending on field, industry, locations and company type (MNC/SME/Local conglomorate)

1800

what can I say ....tough life lol, I work hard so much in university...

depends on the field. but rule of thumb of most fields like marketing is 2.5k.

Depending on industry & companies..

It range from 1.8k to 3k

If you're a programmer, the range is 3k to 4.2k.

For Human Resources, Marketing and Sales, most of my friends agree to RM2.5k.

This is sound reasonable for me for fresh.

What happened to our country now? When I started my career more than 10 years back I was easily earn basic salary RM3.5k

Nowadays still also that range RM2.5k with all the gst, sst, and many things up..

seriously 10 yrs back, what company? what position

Ship repair and maintenance. Training Engineer

And to show how badly fked Malaysian graduates are,

Someone 10 years your senior were already earning RM2200/month back in the year 1995.

That's roughly 4.2k in 2017 if we adjust for inflation!

And a ringgit back then can stretch a long way compared to now, due to the lack of GST back then, property prices weren't as insane as it is now and USD:MYR rate was around 1:2.5. So even if fresh grads were to earn 4.2k today, their spending power is a far cry from what a fresh grad earning 2.2k could spend on back in 1995.

Wow 1995 also RM2200 for fresh graduate with no issue about PTPTN or any debt at all. Mostly our time it just based on JPA, MARA which later converted to scholar. I believe the government have good money at that time.

So for fresh graduate think wisely and harder about your future? It is your time and the game for the life it just begin.

8-5 desk job compared to site works with long sweaty hours? different la boss.

TS Ideal for employer or employee? You have to gauge the market and your potential employers budget.

For us in plantation industry, we will pay 2780 (basic), 500 (car allowance) 300 (housing / housing allowance) thus gross 3580. might be ideal in view of location wise it is not at KL nor JB nor penang but yet need to "suffer" la kerja in 3D environment and girls will look down at you aiyoh kerja estet meh? no class

Fresh grad gg Liao. With pp gone to shet the NXT gen will kena. N yet older gens keep looking down on new gen Becos "they have it easier".
