I was about 27 when I joined a company that paid me >RM10k/mth (before tax and other deductions). It was a local investment bank to be exact. Before that, I was earning around RM6.5k/mth, also in the financial line. So, earning >RM5k/mth at age 25-28 is definitely possible in Malaysia, but depends on your qualifications, and what industry you're in.

I guess I am in the same job as bro enkadirmainbola. And also probably the same company. But as a specialist.

Here's my profile:

Age: 22 going to 23.

Qualification: Diploma Mechatronics

The job: Working in oil field exploration on a 1 month on and off rotation all over the world.

Salary : RM 7k

Job regret: Job is too easy, and too much time during breaks, not knowing how to spend it.

Respect: Guys who did well in financial industry

Want to: Get into financial industry and have the same challenge.

Dream: Quit the job and start all over in finance

Life support: My gf : Keeps the world bright

Seeking opporturnity: To work in the most challenging and rewarding part of Finance

The experience: priceless

Hmm, I am 20 and I earn around RM5000++ per month. Well, I personally don't care about how much I earn, but I hate people who owe money for a long time. I just have passion to do what I am interested in. That's more important to me, enthusiasm~

By the way, RM1200 per month for food expenses isn't that a bit crazy? I am refering to a previous thread.

Having spent the last 25 years working, living and starting a family abroad, would you still want to come back to Malaysia to retire?  Assuming you have kids who are still in their teens, would it be feasible to return to Malaysia considering your kids will have to be enrolled in an International School?

haiya, worked offshore but dont know what is OIM ma?
