Company will never pay extra to the employee. This is a FACT!

is this ur resume , dzinergy ?

cool ..

I am going 28 soon. I only have Higher Diploma... but I have people age 32 working for me. All my staff are degree holders and I have a fresh graduate MBA under me too

My point: Qualifications is very important in most cases. But experience is worth much more than the paper. Try to explore more. Money is not the number one thing when you are young. Exposure is... So go the extra mile.

from all the response so far, those earning > 5k & under 28 are working in MNC ...
is this mean i should go for MNC too ?

Actually the main reason why MNC can afford to pay more is because of our currency exchange. Imagine if you're an MNC from US and your revenue is in US dollars. In 1996 with an exchange rate of 2.4 , say an engineer can get RM 2K/month average. That would be equivalent to 833USD/month. Now the currency has gone up to 3.5-3.6 and engineer now get 2.5-2.7K. That would be equivalent to USD714-USD771. As you can see from US company point of view, their operating cost has drop and that's why I believe they're willing to pay slightly more now.

Slightly out of topic but RM5K is really nothing nowadays. 5K can only buy you say a small 1000sf condo and perhaps a 50K-60K car. It's just middle class, no big deal. It's not a lot at all.

RM5k is really not much if you are married with car loan, house loan and childrens. That is why these days both married couple have to work to share the burden

Also it is not how much you can earn that matters. It is how much you can save. The more you earn the more expensive things get.

Yap, very true like what Robert Kiyosaki mentioned, at the end of the day it's not how much you can earn but how much you have saved.....I have a friend who earn RM6+++ by 26 years, but only capable of saving RM800-900 a month....and he's single but he loves big ticket item.....last few months just upgrade his car to a new Honda Accord....

Outer looks only....inside kosong....

Walau, u r so young, u are earning RM 5 K, not that bad la...
At age of 28, u can earn more la

Actually, my initial plan the topic name is "Earn RM 5K b4 age of 25 ", but I worry I offended some people else here, or too little people post here

1) Degree ( not so important )
2) pharma sales
3) apply....be related academically..

salary : upto ( yes, it's UPTO...) 75K/yr, not inclusive of claims.

how about engineers? mostly management, it and finance related replies here. anymore engineers willing to share their wages and experience?

For my case, I'm just very lucky to join in oil and gas company after i graduated with Electronic Engineer last year. Currently 25 years old. Annual income = Basic + Allowance =RM 72400. So monthly salary, after tax and epf, 5k. Just nice to qualify in here.

i just thought if u guys go platform, earn more rite?

i see. yeah usually they pay you more if you work on the platform

Yeap. Offshore got allowance. But currently I'm in project design team. So no need go offshore.

i see. thanks.

Good for you , btw, which company did u join?? Shell, Exxon, Petronas??

For EE engineer, they have to work at least 3-4 years to reach 5k.
