Want to seek for advice for career path changing, retail doesn't suit me for long term.

Nice. Good benefits and flexibility. The pay can be slightly higher Imo given the experience. I'd lean more on the 9k side.

I don't think you will want to try anything lower than your salary now.
The pay is quite good for your age group.

i am thinking the same in term of salary package, slightly underpay(for MNC comp at least) given the exp. if jump ship chasing the salary, i might loose benefit and flexibility.

Created a new acc because of privacy issues. Previously working with lottery retailer with 4400 pay and 3 months bonus. I liked my job but because of slow turnover, I might need to work many years to see a chance to get promoted. IF I get selected at all. Also increment is slow. A headhunter engaged me for this job. Luckily they needed some of my niche skills that I acquired from other companies I worked with before and they offered me the salary.

With my experience and education: how much salary i should expect and what job (next level) is suitable to me?

you should expect at least RM4000 for the experience.

Clerk is a quite low skilled job where the salary can't reach very high. You can try to go for Human Resource / Admin according to your degree. HR can definitely give u very high range of salary.

well these are my opinion, I might be wrong though.

Realistically, you can't possibly ask for 4k for a clerical job regardless of the experience.

3k+ maybe, that's including office administrative work.

I think i am underpaid. Lots of thing i have done at this company.
Everything I learn by myself (no training).
Now it getting worse, CEO put his son as COO and this guy


1) How much should I get for my salary?
2) How should I discuss with my boss later when appraisal?
3) any advice for me?

Somehow agree, the employer might just get multiple employee with lower qualifications to do more work.

I dont have degree (planning to further my studies but not right now), only diploma. Planning to quit from this job. Can anyone recommend me suitable job for my experience and qualifications.
