What do you make of my salary/package? acceptable for my age?

I can definitely relate to this. One year in a small firm is equivalent to a few years of experience in mnc as you are usually in charge of many things.

More like you are being assigned to many job task with minimal pay, that's the standard practice of a chinaman company. But I always suggest my friend to go work for a chinaman comany because they are the ones that able to offer you experience before you job hop to other big corporate. Chinaman company prepares their staff well to job-hop by throwing them all ad-hoc task, that's a fact.

Rarely got work life balance for small construction firm, as i am in construction firm as well hahaha

I heard a lot of stories about civil engineering. Almost everyone says it is better to start off with small companies (sub-con) so that you can learn a lot of process and not idling facebooking in the office like those who join big company / MNC from the start. OK that is for civil engineering.

But does that statement applies to other field of engineering as well? Take for example, currently me working as SW engineer in MNC, even though I am not flooded with tons of workload but I am still learning a lot of process in software development. I think that is probably because projects are divided into small teams, not the whole company working on a single big project. That allows me to see clearly how the whole process flow.

My dilemma is that MUST I join a small company to brush up my skills, or I can learn as well in a big company?

Many say that we all should join small company once we graduate, but is that a scam created by small companies bosses to seek for cheap labors?

I have a lot of friends working in other engineer fields, i.e. Electronics Engineer, Network Engineer, they are busy as hell too, they seem to learn a lot after a year working in MNC too. But since they are working in MNC, their pays are really handsome as well.


So in short, is MNC really that bad for fresh graduates to start off their career?

Hi,
Currently working as Audit Assistant Manager in international mid tier firm with RM6k+ (basic salary+allowance) monthly salary.

Got an offer from a consumer financing company which they are able to offer RM8.5k(everything inside) as Finance Manager. I would say there will be a good learning curve for me as the business unit is consider a start up department.

Not sure whether its the right choice. But my favour industry is more towards to property & constructions. Any sifu got some opinions?

Got a new job, mixed feeling

A big plus on the basic salary but I was told there are no bonuses (sad), at least for now. Environment wise need quite a big adjustment, working with Eastern Europeans is a big challenge especially in communication (miscommunications/lack of it are very common here). I dont see much progression here, seems like they tapau the lead/management roles for their own folks.. thinking of cabut-ing somewhere else already

If you are working in Penang, I can guess which company you jumped from and jumped to
Anyway, I find that Software Engineer is usually underpaid or overloaded when compared to Software Developer. Not sure if the industry allows me to shift my job scope in near future. Many uncertainty and fear to leave my comfort zone

One of it must be Intel?

Well, in order to progress one must leave their comfort zone. I left my comfort zone but I am stuck in a difficult environment to work in

Yeah one of it is Intel

Hi guys, which companies in Malaysia have the best salary package?

huawei @ KL. My fren working 1 year after graduation then now getting 5.5k basic salary. not to mention with bonus and allowance, monthly income can be 6k to 7k. That is the price just for bachelor degree.

Is he a software developer or project manager or business analyst?

MBBs 😁

==editted due to privacy concern==

MBB is good? I heard it is only average unless you are in IB.

I meant Mckinsey bain bcg

Highly doubt this.... unless he is station outside of the country then he would reach this amount, if he is in KL then i would say its way below that.
And Huawei its contract basis, renew annually base on performance.

Can concur that MBBs salaries are one of the best. Not sure what those in the IB line in Malaysia earn though.

Starting salary for MBBs anywhere from RM 6K - RM 8K from what I've heard

curious about MBBs. I'm myself an engineer and I know few friends of ex-engineers got into MBBs but they have to go to either Oxbridge/Ivy before got accepted into MBBs. Are they still choosy now?
