Hmm.. make sense. But it depends highly on what product you're selling.
What product are you selling anyway?
It's quite true that starting salary for sales line is way lower than the rest. So, the commision really counts.

I'm more in corporate sales and distribution sales. My company sells electronic components. I handle the key accounts and channel sales for them. If you have good enough experience in sales, you can get a high basic as well, but don't expect it to be like 7k, 8k. You might be able to get 3.5k - 4.5k. I do know this company offered a Senior Product Manager (Marketing post) for like 8k provided you have 6-8 years of sales and product experience.

Just work as L2/L3 helpdesk support and there is your 5K per month. If you can tahan the job lah.

Well,

I'm 27 and as a manager in a well known Oil & Gas company. I'm earning above RM10K as my basic salary.

I guess your hard work pays off ...

Earning more then 5K before 28 ??

Currently i only get about 5K /Month

I am in IT field. not i am 33....

Im 27..I have no sales experience but had been 6 years working experience. Hence my current new job is regional sales engineer(asean countries & local sales)...being offer a basic Rm3.8k & 1% commision...btw, am pursuing my part time MBA...i just join <2 months...previous my solely basic is Rm4.8k as regional product engineer...

care to share what type of manager r u in the company?

when u say hard work, r u working like almost 24/7 8am to 12midnite?

do sales every month hit sales target you sure get more than 5k.


i am 23 and my gaji is about there

26, oil & gas, 10-35k/month, but gotta travel alot normally rotating around 3 continents, kinda no life, cannot commit to any long-term relationships

Kai

Oh my goodness!

well that is a lot even after conversion to RM. or is it?
mind to tell which company r u working for?

from wat i know cost of living there is very expensive.
accommodation allowance oredi close to basic pay. huhu

but yeah.. dat is a LOT.

most important u don't pay taxes to stupid government .....

haha... nice one.

Well, I'm managing IT Services for 2 out of many important divisions like most Oil and Gas companies and im covering more than 1 region as well.

My working hours = 5 days * 8 hours (40 hrs a week)

+ / - extra 3 hours every week to pick up conference calls after work hours..thats it...

Do travel moderately as well.

Hard work that i meant was it all depends on how u start your career in job market. To be honest, i did struggle alot during my early years when i first started my career 4 years ago in different companies (Stay back at work very late and work on weekends including public holidays as well) and doing jobs which are not related to my position. In conclusion i use to do 3 ppl's different job by myself......Thru hard work thats where u will be recognise and appreciated and when u switch to different companies..thats where they tend to evaluate and recognise whom you are.

Life has never been easy....You have to struggle to achieve success..

i just graduated with biotechnology degree n i'm 23 this years...
how to earn more other than airline as i not handsome... i have customer service experience... any recommend job oso the salary. i do wish earn 5-6k by age of 26yrs o below....

Look for an industry/company/positon that requires your skills/education background/experience.

Learn what are the skillsets needed to get to the level you want for the pay you want.
Work hard and work smart to improve urself, both at work and personal capabilities.
Learn more, read more, do more.

Its possible to get 5k and more.
But you need to put in the hardwork to/and do the research needed.

If you want it, search and work for it, unless your dad is rich or owns a gold mine etc, then I got nothing to say.

Of course, a bit of luck helps a lot.
