im into project management line & now im at 26....my level is at 4k & my target will be 5k above at 28....still now not qualify in this tread...kekek

how long u took to reach 4k ?

serious in salesline can earn 5k??
huhu..em,thats nice..

hmm....2 years plus...

a change in company will get u there...

if do sales didn't earn 5K/m , not point doing sales...

I think this will be offensive or embarrass some salesman here !!

Do u mean all/most salesman can earn RM 5K by age of 28 ..... Not really !!

Hi guys.. i am a sales engineer and i am 23 now only earning 2k per moth... I find it hard to hit 5k by the age of 28 because i dont have any commision for the sales that i secure, i am only being paid by a fix basic salary every month.

In addition, not all sales ppl can do a good job. After working for sometime in sales line, i would says that if you find tat it is hard for you to have a chat with a stranger you can forget about joining sales line, because not only you wont reach 5k by 28 you will find it hard to hit the basic target set by your company.

Correct me if i am wrong... cuz i am still quite fresh in this line. tqtq


-----------------------------------------------------
By the way... i need some advise here

Recently my friend working in an small oil and gas company invited me to go over to his company but the starting pay was just slightly higher than my current salary and it is contract base offer. Not sure to jump over onot..... aiksss...headache.

anyone out there that can give me some advise? really appriciate that if someone can help me out here.... TqTq....


thats all for now....have a nice day

Why not?

I'm 28 this year. Working as Sales/Marketing/Customer Support Manager (3 in 1 job, but do sales more). Basic already more than RM5k
After +commission +bonus +incentive
Monthly income can reach > RM10k+ net

I agree. There are a lot that makes it, but there are a lot than don't too

most of the people say doing sales, increase company's revenue..
technical stuff like engineers really dont earn much, do they?
with this that i think most important is the ability to speak, meet new people and able to represent the company to convince people to seal a deal.. thus coming to the end also still... sales....

mm is it possible for someone in the design industry to earn more than 4k a month? lol

at the rate i'm going as a graphic designer.. and seeing the local market price.. and being just an average designer.. doubt it.. of course i'm trying to improve myself.. but.. how much and how far can a designer actually go in malaysia?

i think even credit card agent also can hit this easily ...

@dazzywazzy,
If you remain a graphic designer and only a graphic designer, it'll be difficult to achieve the RM5k mark. You need to keep bettering urself and learn more about the industry. Move from graphic designer to an Art Director and from there, a Creative Director. The bigger the role you play in your organisation, the more valuable you are and the more valuable you are to the organisation, the higher your salary will be.

This goes for all, not just those in the designing community. I'm quite sure big time Creative Directors like *thinks for a bit* Lee Clow, Mike Schallit, Erik Vervroegen, Tony Davidson, etc etc started from right below that ladder and made their way to where they are today.

Good Luck!

Your avatar said " U r broke, poor"

NO wonder u earn so much !!
Those that earn a lot always WAN more & More & feel that they earn not enough !!
Just like a top student, 80 marks is a low marks to them
Good luck in ur career


Oh MY GOD, all of u so young but earning are quite good !! Though I m younger
Should recognise all of u to upgrade myself &I will felt inferior then will motivate me to be the same standrd wit u guys
But, I doubt taht I will earn >RM5K by age of 28. I m so worry... Now, <RM2K (not in KL or Big town), age of 22+

To do sales and earn RM5k salary is not a big deal I guess, but to maintain the monthly RM5k and above salary would be the tough part to a lot.

but can one be a creative director by 28? and can a creative director in malaysia earn 5k? lol o.O question question.. any creative directors here?

True

I have to always remind myself that I am poor to try to earn more

Not all jobs allow such. That is why I choose sales

Few years back when I was just a programmer age 24 earning RM4k/month. That's it. Cannot earn more cause tied to desk. Income power is limited. So I choose to move out even though my interest is in programming

It's a question of Money vs Interest, and I choose the evil one... Money

Yeah.. If you can earn more money buy doing other work (that you really can do) outside your interest that it is fine. In these days money talks..

Very few companies in Malaysia pay lots of money to even very good technical people but some of them do. I'm signing my colleague's timesheet. He's about 30, single and he makes RM4000-5000 per week. But he's damn good and very few people can match what he does.

He has my salute

Me too He makes more money than I am
