To those that are earning Salary More than RM 5K (Working in Msia) & Age below 28.
(I presumably u graduate at age of 22/23, after 5 yrs of experience, RM 5 K seems reasonable, though I think age of 25-26 earning >RM5K is also possible)

I Need ur advice !! What is ur occupation currently? Position ? What the "Factors" that make you earn more than others?
Eg.
1) qualifications?
2) line of work
3) how u got the position and tips!

You can be ur own boss/ employee, just share ur tips!!

I graduate at 25, I apply for my first job at 26. I had no working experience and I lied my way through interview make RM5.5k per month. Soon, I will go through another assesment to be senior engineer.

Why did I graduate so late? I studied IT until Adv Dip, then I went to do Dip in Graphic Design. Before I pursue my Degree in IT, I worked for fun, mainly doing programming projects and website. I survived like this for 2 - 3 years before I do my Degree.

My Degree, I got Third Class Honours (almost no value ya..), because I support myself through work such as programming, design and a little sales.

Then, finally I decided to get a proper job. I mailed one of the recruitment agency who hooked me up with a MNC. At the interview, I told my boss that I graduate late cause I work in between (which is true) because my family is poor (which is not true). Sympathy points!

I bullshit my way to the top. Is that a good lesson to learn for you? I dont know. I only know I do my job pretty darn well so no one got any complains. Besides, what is 5.5k for a MNC? NOTHING!

Actually, I'm in IT line, and basically we are all allowed to wear casual...like jeans as long is presentable. I mean, sort of casual formal(but not short pant ler). Working time is flexible. In agreement is stated, 9 - 6pm, but most of the time I reach the work place around 10 plus.Then when we reach, instead of start work, we will went for a quick breakfast. So, around 10.40am plus, will only start our work.

But when there's a need for some of us ... in a customer meeting, then of course we'll wear formal.
This is because, the management trust us in the jobs that been assigned to us...and most important thing is, believe we are all grow up people. Know our responsibilities....and they more believe in flexibility.

Sometimes we do work quite late, but in 1 mth time...was like less than 4 days. But most of the time we'll balik around 7pm.

And, I earning almost 6k...
No. of exp is 3 years & 9 mths.
So, is really depends on the work and the env/culture that the company that you're working with.
Just my 2 cents. smile.gif

I second this and I agree. I have almost the same years of experience and make the same amount of salary.
