My department very friendly and fill with nice people. Working environment in here not bad at all(no so much pressure from supervisor and engineer) . I start taking diploma quite late (19 y/o) because i earn money first to support myself for study( before i be able to take study loan on second year). I going to start PJJ on Bachelor in Information Technology this May. To be honest i really like IT, especially on software. My passion in that area. I do self learning basic PHP, C++, C#, Pyhton, and many more due to my motivation and passion to learn it for myself. Even for my final project related to IOT and mobile apps( just basic interface).

So i want to ask for opinion :

Should i find a job related to IT to gain experience first during my study or just start after finishing my degree ? And would company even hire me even i just learn my it skill by self learning ?

I hope someone can give me some opinion and advise for me to have some guidelines which direction should i take.

Sounds like PA to CEO, but with much better pay

but need to do project monitoring and most important is, all the info supplied to CEO must be very precise. my CEO very particular and coming from technical background. lucky got engineering experience.

does he need more PA?

i guess if he add, later my salary kena cut half.

Hahah good point. Well you are being very well paid, better than most of us here.

Just wondering whats the career prospect for a PA to CEO?

Forever become PA?

You get good networking by being with the CEO all the time. Also can know how management people think, work, behave etc so you could learn from them. But to straight away from PA into let say manager of any company is quite hard. Maybe can start own company with all the networking and knowledge gained to your advantage. Or you can just stay being his/her PA with that kind of salary is quite good what.

hurm... some called it PA, some called it Special Officer.
looking at the jobscope which requires one to be a gatekeeper to CEO's office (screen through every details of the approval paper and decide whether it is ready for CEO's approval or not, ensure that every report is complete and correct on the data, pretty much as a vice ceo or COO if the company doesnt have one), if there is cases that multiple event at the same time,need to represent the CEO to the event; and make sure whatever instructions from CEO is delivered to the right division or department and follow through.

based on things that a PA or SO do, pretty much he will be ready for a management position later down the road. its all depends on your work quality.

if we are looking at past history, some ministers or CEO or young board of directors, comes from this path. but not all succeed.

its either make or break. LOL

for bigger company, say "the electricity supply company in malaysia", Special Officer is SM or GM level. because you need to give instruction to the SM or GM level. in my case, im just an AM level.

Ouh, saw they say PA, normally PA doesn't take much responsibilities and your position seems to have much more decision making and etc.

Someone I know from one of the biggest bank in Malaysia get promoted to become a HOD for their Europe branch after serving the CEO for 3-4 years.

Hmm thats a red flag...to promote someone to hod need someone with business and front office experience... Not PA experience..

Maybe the PA comes from those background as well, just that the boss trust him more to be his assistant.

This is correct. He was an AVP for a finance department, then rose to become Special Officer to the CEO when his HOD appointed as the CEO.

If I’m not mistaken when he was the SO, his rank is on par with VPs

Good bosses and flexible working style. However, I feel the pay is low for my current age. Heavy workload and almost every day full of the task. Been thinking
to look for other company because coming up a few years, I foresee more commitment will come in as
I am preparing for the next stage of life. With the current salary, with the increment basis, even if I request for an increment of pay, I think maybe add on a bit but dont think is much.

Given the fact, what is the ideal pay for my age group?
