Yeah, James are right. Some company even stated HR policy maximum 20% for example, but i feel this is good as we no need to apply leave for interview a company which you won't accept due to not able to meet your expected salary. In the end, it still based on your negotiation skill with your skill set present to your future employer to enlightening them on why you deserve the pay you requested, maybe underpaid in previous company etc.. Just my cent. Good luck to you. 

IINM Malaysia and BEM only recognizes 4years engineering degree with industrial training. The 3 years degree in uk are all without industrial training.

Many employer dont care but u cant register with BEM if u have the 3 year degree unless u go for masters in engineering.

Hi guys, would like to seek some opinion from you guys.

I am currently earning close to RM 6k with 4 years of work experience. I have recently got an offer to work in SG that pays SGD 4k.

The job role is different but the industry still remains the same.

Is it worthwhile to give it a try?

Yeah, I think it is possible to get a 1 to 1 but that really depends on timing and luck as well.

In your opinion, it's not worth the try?

Try speak about your concern to your manager first? Can be indirectly like tell them you're struggling to pay for car loan etc. Sames goes to management. I think now is the good time to tell them as they're preparing for year 2020 budget.

I talked before to both my manager and management for 3-4 times. Only tell me "good job" everytime a project done. I been in the company for 2 years tho. Just last month I jump ship to my competitor and recently my old company just found out where I went to.. They're panicking 😂😂

TLDR; speak to manager first, if they can't do anything, jump ship then.

Yes this is applicable to most managers as they have this if it’s not broken why change attitude. This type is conversation is very difficult to start with managers unless you are close to them.

The catch is the risk that comes along with the new job, new environment, new people, if the 25% increment is worth the risk that comes along with the new job

I'd say use the salary report that works best for you to negotiate your desired salary. There are plenty of other salary surveys out there released for free by Mercer, Hay, Towers Watson, Aon Heweitt, Robert, Walters, Michael Page, etc. so definitely shop around for the one that best reflects your interest. One thing to remember is that salary surveys are always outdated by the time they get published, as they were surveyed the year before, before inflation for this year hit. But that's another topic for another day.

Also keep in mind, while salary surveys are useful (only if using to your own advantage), as someone who hires talent for a multinational across APAC, 100% of the time we get the candidate's current salary package and use that as our basis for comparison. In fact, I've never met a candidate who cited from one of these salary surveys, which is a pity really as it definitely helps with the negotiations if ask me.

So the next time you get asked your expected salary by a recruiter, say something along the lines of 'Salary-wise I am currently at XXX, and I know based on the latest salary surveys that the range of pay for this role at this level is XXX-XXX, so I am looking at something that pays at market.'

Anyone have experience already resigned from X company but still receive salary from X company?

Usually after you have accumulated enough experience they do not look at your academic result already, normally they just look at how relevant your experience is to the advertised job and how you fare in the interview.

Especially those hiring company still put the same description in the requirement must candidate at least a cert, are those actually a gimmick now? correct me if i'm wrong.

Well i planned to work in singapore for few years first and then back to malaysia.
But i was fired right before new year.. and now the coronavirus.
Imagine the risks when taking public bus, MRT and going through customs.. the lists goes on.
So.. any advice on exploring job opportunities in KL?

Promised me a promotion next year. Telling me that they are expanding and needed me to guide my juniors so the firm able to grow and soon, they will hand their business to me. Sweet talks.

^crossed my mind before. But I'll give them a benefit of doubt. If this happens though, I'll be ready to move on with a stronger resume.

Why in an organisation, same level position but different salary ya?
In my company  all of us has differ salary range despite same level position? Even managers and between managers also different salary range. I'm quite shock with that. Same experience, different salary range. Why this happen among hiring company?

Hi guys, need ur advice. I just received an offer to one of the big 4 and they only offered 12% increment from my current salary. I felt that was too low on their end. I'm also given a sign on bonus and transportation allowance. Would it still be possible for me to ask for negotiation? They just called and emailed me the details of the package. No offer letter is given yet.

I took your advice and bite the bullet. Emailed them asking for 25% and they agreed with it. Not sure if still can go higher but I've decided with the sign on bonus, it's a good package after all. Thanks!

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?
