hopping to another company general rules (from all the gossips from my seniors and colleagues):-
MNC to MNC = 10% at least
MNC to small company = 10%-50% (any rate can happen if the small company boss really loves you)
small company to MNC = 20% at least

but many factors apply too, like what your current skills can contribute to the new company. one of my friends got offered from 3.3k to 4.5k to a new company, because the new company is doing the exact same job scope as his old one. note that he only worked a year after graduate.

for "solid salary", really depends on company, my colleague just got increment to 3.7k a month ago, and he went to interview recently, got offered by new company, based on his current salary, he is given 4.4k offer.

if the next company is really good, less than 20% is still considered ok.

At same salary, I would rather work in a new company than "NO OT pay, heavy workload and underappreciated".

P.S. : There are so many bad companies out there. We should always keep on exploring from time to time, to know how far our value can go. Many bad companies love to bully their workers by giving them low pays because they know majority of their employees are afraid to leave their comfort zone. I believe based on your experience and job location, you should at least get 4k for now. Good luck. #SayNoToBadCompanies

I have seen some MNC promised you to get the 20% additional amount after you passed probation, and you will get the salary that below than 20% during your probation. However, after your probation, you only get 10% instead of 20%.. This scenario should resign or complain?

If to resign, isn't the next company view you as "not loyal" employee?

if written they still no give then what you can do?

I believe with financial institutions, and possibly GLC and major conglomerates, where everything is structured and HR reigns supreme, it is impossible to choose to not disclose your salary. They will just move on to the next candidate. They also tend to have rules like max 30% increment. Yes, they can have exceptions, but exceptions are rare...less than 5% of new hires will come from the exception list.

To me, just don’t worry about the salary. Ask what you really want. Or 10% premium to that. Then go to the interview, excel and wait for their offer. If they lowball, reject outright respectfully. They will either say kthnxbai or come back with an improved offer. Key is...you need to have options. Do not be or appear desperate. And the most powerful negotiation tool you will ever have is the willingness to walk away. This is why it is important to continue interviewing periodically (say once a year) eve though you are happy in your current job. Cause then your negotiating hand is super powerful and this will show through during the interview as well.

Is banking really that lucrative? Damn, maybe should've studied those in uni.

Years spent in company : 3 month

This industry salary is not as good as other but stress level is quite low. Thinking to go back to my previous company due to some personal issues but felt shy since I reject their 3 times counter offer before I join this company. The previous company is wood product manufacturing industry.  Any advice on returning back there?

Don't need to be shy
Be professional then u are good to go

Many people choose not to disclose their unpleasant work experience in their resume. For example, promised upon ABC job scope during interview but ended up doing XYZ, or some unprofessional work ethics was uncovered only after started working, and had to leave within few months for own good.

Like a friend of mine, was promised to work on some mobile app but ended up coding illegal gambling systems and he left and joined a new company.

You can either be honest and tell your new employer about your experience, or just tell them you took a break in between, or even make it like it never happened.

hi unker party. where's what mine? my salary post?

dont want la. shy. i am kecik miao only...

Hmm I don't get it when you quoted "don't ever think about getting any new offer outside in the future".

Let's say he went from A -> B (3 months) -> A (for a few years maybe) -> C

How is C going to know the existence of B if you don't say anything at all?

of course, possible to check with EPF if they want to be stringent in checking.

actually other than that, i don't think it's possible to check. unless you submit those documents.

I work there for 10 years and most probably they will accept me provided there is a vacancy. If they already hire other ppl then sorry lor   
I'm also have a good relationship with the GM and all manager except the COO which I guess must be quite pissed off with me after I reject his offer. Even worst, he is the decision maker in recruitment.  

Very simple la bro. Don't apply for other job then you won't get new offer from other company. Unless other company look up for my profile at Jobstreet and give me resistible offer.

When I was young, all the adults told us, "go become doctor lah, go become engineer lah, go become lawyer lah, earn big big one."

Then now all of my friends doing these fields (including me), earning 2.5k to 3.0k when graduated. lol what a big lie told by adults since 18years ago

TLDR: Graduate Engineer should get around 3.2k to 3.5k, else the fantasy of "get a degree in professionals, you can suffer less in future" is not really that fantastic huh?

because that was the average rate in East Malaysia 3 years back, even in Capital like Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. Sad but true.

Not sure about the rate now though, but I believe even 3 years back in KL or Penang or JB, it shouldn't as low as that.

Well, I said that was an extreme case.

Regardless, generally in west msia, graduate engineers now are still getting 2.5k to 3.2k. Some big MNC might give 3.2k to 3.5k but it is still not common yet. I think every company should follow that rate, even those self-proclaimed "small company"

I'm not sure about Sabah & Sarawak, I'm referring to KL as I was based in KL.

It’s not a local startup. It is one based in the US. They have been around since 2014 and their product is very niche

Initially plan to work in SG after graduate, then i realize like most of the company they paying around 2400SGD +- for the fresh graduate only... but since im graduate in computer science, most of the IT job is in SG town area which the living cost quite high...

After some consideration, make up my minds and find the job in KL.. not sure is a good decision or not

I have been avoiding this thread for many years. I posted twice and I am ashamed to say that my salary is still stagnant. I am very ashamed of myself and the salary I made. I need some input so i could get out of this salary bracket.

I have been working for 7 years starting as a normal Admin to E-commerce Sales cum Admin for the last 5 years. I dont consider myself knowledge in every aspect of what an E-Commerce employee should have. My skillset is more of mixed here and there. I Worked in a medium sized Chinaman company (previous) and startup company (current) so we need to do a lot of things including Cleaning every week like mop the floor, clean the toilet, etc 😫

I am so lost and demotivated. I live in Ipoh with my family. It is not that I dont want to work in KL/SG, it is just that my parents are in their early 70 now and I am not young anymore. It is not an excuse but my heart is not there. I was once away from home for a week in KL and my father was in hospital. I was so worried that I kept calling my mum to check on him.

I am looking forward to attend workshops and trainings to upgrade myself but I dont know where to start 😔

Can you guys share on how to increase salary when jump from a company to another company?

Should we reveal our current salary to our potential future employer?

I don’t think our next salary should be based on our current salary, am i right?

Usually that is the first question hr asks when they approach you no?

good for u boss party.

i did call up LHDN actually and ask, if you filled up wrong information of PCB, what will happen?

Nothing will happen. Work carries on. Only when u file during march, then will know whether u have to pay more or less.

when i joined new company during nov, they didnt bother to minus pcb. ( i think i paid enough annually or they didnt want to calculate) lol

of course, paying tax is compulsary and doing our responsiblity as a citizen 

Good for you then. I have changed job 3 times. Been asked that question on all 3 occasions, hence my mindset of the question being mandatory.
