But work like hell. My company engage PWC. their auditors like to come to our company because I always force them to go back early. I will always tell them latest is 7pm because by that time everyone left already. Only me and them. But sometimes they told me they still go back to office to do things after they left my office. Kesian.

I happen to know someone who's only 22, but earning enough to comfortably afford a 200k car. Not your average office job. But flying planes.

Let's remind ourselves that if you work for MAS, is there even a possibility that it will fail? Since it's a GLC. Your job is pretty much secure. How you do later in life depends on your current lifestyle.

He's definitely going to breach more than 10k by 28

Pilot not counted la, everybody knows that they earn big bucks at a low age.

I think the thread is more catering towards "the rest of us" who have to work our way up from a 2k per month starting salary. Actually I really think it should be easy to do. Assume you start working at 23, you only need to average a 15% increase per year to earn 5k by 30, it should be trivial to do by combining promotions, raises & increments.

i'm in, for a person doing backup and storage also, earning solid 5k at 27.. now 28 edi, i'm aiming for higher but need to wait till economy become stable first..

errr .... wat do u mean by backup n storage?

er... my friend 41 working as IT supervisor.. take home pay only RM4200.
already has 15 years experience, still hasn't got 5K yet.

maybe it is difficult to get 5k nowadays..

rewlie, i believe you are doing Enterprise level storage and back up

Woo hoo hoo, in HP by any chance?

age 21 - rm2.8k (company A)
age 22 - rm2.2k (company B)
age 23 - rm2.4k (company B)
age 25 - rm5.0k (company C)

backup and storage data for servers on enterprise level, store all kinds of data either in tape or disk

yeah u r exactly right pal

looking forward to, but somehow this morning i got a msg from my fren in HP saying that he got cut 5% from his salary, well i guess now it's a hard time for almost everyone.. maybe i will browse dell website after this.

chezzball

My brother earning 15k when he is 28 yrs old. And now 23k at age 32 yrs old. He is Nokia/siemens commissioning engineer back in Saudi Arabia.

Got house + car + super claim rate

So jealous.

if go overseas, for sure the pay is good, i got an offer also at dubai, yet i am a senior engineer now but still think my skills is not strong enough, so i rejected the offer first, wait till end of this year after, see how, if economy become stable again, then i think i'll jump overseas, wanna experience having brunette or blonde gf, huhuhu

How long have you been working? what kind of engineer? what offer did you received from Dubai ? Mind to share?

9 years edi, backup and storage engineer, i did received an offer for system administrator, maintaining their data production in oil & gas, servers and PLC system, couple of my friends edi there, contract for 2 years and now edi 1 year and they have collected rm250k edi, solid, after deducted everything, make some calculation and u will get the figure how much they earn per month average.

wow so jealous . hm sometimes really want wotk at overseas .... aiks but no one intro ....

yah basic.. excluding allowance loh.. last time kena bash dy mah... now 'seng muk' dy =P

work oversea is good in money but u lost alot of thing in life also .

For muslim, if get a chance to work in saudi arabia or nearest arabian country its a good things, not losing a lot of thing in life, as we can perform hajj and umrah a lot easier. Halal food and others. Work there for 5 years and back to malaysia starting bussiness or enter management position. Smilee..

Being a Muslim does not automatically qualify oneself to be employed by an employer operating in one of the gulf states.

The Middle Eastern based employers are extremely objective and it depends ENTIRELY on your competency/experience/relevant knowledge before you can be worthy of consideration to be hired by them. Religious beliefs has ZERO implications in the hiring process.

Unlike the Malaysian GLCs.
