Employment Level : -
Experience before joining (years) : 9.5
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Bachelors
Location : Malaysia

Other Benefits : Work from home in Malaysia. 30 days per year Paid time off, with no Public holidays (Use PTO for public holidays as I like). This is something I requested as I don’t like having time off with everyone else, traffic and all, and prefer to have flexibility as to when I get time off.

Was a product manager for the Australian Branch out of Uni before I quit after 9.5 years to move back to Malaysia for some travelling. Whilst home, was contacted by the International head office to assist with their very young SE Asia team (3 staff 6-12 month exp) with me working from home in Malaysia.

Upside: Get to spend some time at home with my parents, getting a “low/mid level expat pay” while being a local.
Downside: Quality of life and having to readjust to life in Malaysia after 10+ years away.

Still sitting on the offer, they are being very patient with me while i make my decision.

Opinion

Is this salary 8.5k for 31 years old with 7 years experiences, up to standard or im in a wrong salary level. Huhu

Seem like can get higher

Yes, is my first job

Haven't really scouting for other jobs, because yeah, I am currently really fine with zero stress life right now. My superior is totally fine, he is another reason I am comfortable here. However, he didn't have authority to promote me higher in terms of pay due to management restrictions.
If I were to leave this company to another place, I would look minimum rm 1k pay jump minimum to justify the distance.

Money is not everything, but everything needs money hahahaha..

Though I've always felt that I'm a bit underpaid. Is this the case for most management traines?

It's more of an ad hoc sort of programme. It was something seemingly put togrther in a hurry and all it has is a rotation around the bank here and there only

Family commitment.
Got a baby boy, totally changed the point of view now. 

But that's quite rare, I'm in my early thirties and I think most people I know are in the 5-15k range. I heard that Big 4 if you don't make partner it's pretty bad also, director level also around 15k sadly....

From here do you have any higher to go? From the salary surveys I see, many CFO's pay would be around your current range also.

He's already at management level though.... unless you mean an ownership stake in the company

Bro based on 2019 salary survey the median for branch manager is 120k per year

Getting a out of the world bump after promotion, I have to say I am very lucky. 

Just to update.

I think I'm hitting the cap already in terms of salary / learnings. The pay is good but it's getting boring. Should I move on?

wow. that is already too high

yes. but the number of company would reduce significantly.

Good point. But gonna be hard unless I find jobs outside of Malaysia
Mostly about 1k - 2k depending on year. There was some years which I was lucky to get multiple increments (merit increments, promotions, or special increment) so these stacked up quite rapidly.  But things have pretty much normalised now

I guess this is the common challenge for all IT professionals out there.
It's just because he is too specialize in a particular niche, when he apply else where, no employer can giving him the package that higher than his current one.
If hes really tired of what hes doing now, and he die die want to move, be ready for a pay cut
