Hi guys, I am looking at a new job opportunity right now.

I am being asked for expected salary and I really don't know how to answer this.

It is like a total field change for me, (from software to hardware) but my Degree fits the job position though.

Is asking 20% acceptable? Or there is room for more?

Or should I just ask for more since they are going to nego me later too?

Does expecting high increment cause the job offer to be withdrawn?

Thanks in advanced guys, it is like a new chapter for me in my life.

Remember, most people that post their detail here can't back up their numbers 
I will tell you to use a trick called anchoring. I've yet to move jobs for anything less than a 40% +-, and that is because I proposition the new pay based on my total compensation and add in a premium to that. That way, you anchor the discussion at a higher figure, and even if its negotiated, it is much easier to control the downtrend then to control the uptrend.

The company will have a budget for the position, and a high increment might make you less suitable. However, if they give you a bad increment, is it worth the jump?

So, have a "die die" figure in your mind, a number that if it went anything below, you will walk away from. Then you propose something much higher and negotiate from there.

Hi there, may I ask a question? Any Job site other than Jobstreet and Linkedin?
I been using Jobstreet, Jobstore, Linkedin for many years, wonder there is any new job site comes up lately

Just curious, what is the rule of thumb for salary increment on a new job in IT?

30% is easy to get in current market?

When including my salary in my CV, do I include the word "(Negotiable)" beside the salary or is it like an unspoken rule where all expected salaries are negotiable unless stated?

Why not? If i"m interviewer and the expected salary over the budget, better no need waste each other time.

currently i feel very stress due to huge workload and since i work in this company almost 10 years, so management demand high expectation from my output, made me lost interest on my job but i not dare to find other job due to current economy not good and i only have certain process knowledge, didn't have any audit or full set account experience, so very unsure to my future path, should i stay on my job position until fired by company because i think this company pay consider still ok?

The increment looks not bad. Wonder how many of us did not receive any increment this year? 

My first full-time job in my life. I did my PhD in Singapore and undergrad in Malaysia. Anyone who is interested can check out my very old posts in Education Essentials.

Hi, want to know from thsoe involve hr or have info. How much should average junior exec earn around age 25-30? Im want to know average not those high flyer 10k a month thank u everyone

I have around 10 years experience in IT and based on my observation on my peers:

1. Average performer in small company: 5-7k
2. Good performer in small company: 6-10k
3. Average performer in big company: 7-12k
4. Good performer in big company: 10-20k
5. Job hopper every few years: 8-14k

Wow 27 already senior manager and earning like /k standard 20k

U working for daddy's company or u earning USD? I know its possible to get that salary if u earning USD working for foreign company.

But weird usually high rank IT position not senior manager. Mostly is like head of xxxx department, CIO, CTO, CDO, architect etc.

Wow, nowadays, salary in Malaysia is that good? During my time, it is far lower compared to what being mentioned here...lol

My regional head office is also located in Singapore and I have access to our internal salary bands since I've just applied for a recent vacancy in our SG office.

The equivalent compa-ratio as per our salary bands for 10k MYR is around 7k SGD. From what I can research online the typical ratio for MYR:SGD conversion is around 0.7-0.8x, i.e. effectively doubling your nett pay after MYR conversion (10k after employer EPF contribution -> 20k take home after tax). 1:1 conversions are typically only done at <5k salaries.

From what I can see on MyCareersFuture, 10k SGD is managerial level salary and IMO too optimistic a goal at your age/experience.
