Wow unbelievable rate for a 27, are you working overseas? It seems like it

above said location is KL.

but very impressive rate for such niche market.


i guess it does pay well for niche jobs, so go out there and be something different !

but as travel a lot, u rarely have time to spend with family, parents also getting old and as the only child at home, i also feel bad not spending more time with them. currently in the process of requesting more towards a local oriented position but not sure if pass or not

Does one require relevant knowledge to work in similar/lower tier position?

previous replied

still at the same company

Job Title : Developer
Job Desciption : full stack
Years spent in company : 4 years 10 months
age : approaching 30
Industry : telco
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : senior
Experience before joining : 0 year
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Diploma in IT
salary : RM 6500 (included increment this year)
benefit : 13 month salary + dental allowance 1 month RM 100 (can claim back to salary) * 12 RM 1,200
bonus : depends on company this coming month 1 month

- involved new project, no work from home, need to reach office before daily meeting and still small size company even tough is growing

is my current pay is norm or underpaid ? at first my increment was just 10% and i voice out my concern and eventually increase another 20% so is 10% + 20 %

the next increment will be less than that 10 % (my boss said so since i was getting huge increment)

let me analyze.

a full stack developer, going into 30s for 6.5k with diploma.

last update was 2k difference for the past 2 years and potential lesser increment since last increment was 30%

you have to ask only to get increment, else i think if dont open mouth will only take 10% only

i'd say u can do better, but u have to prove your full stack skills is worth it. else diploma is one of the reason HR might lowball you
consider go huawei, they pay well

Your journey is nothing short of incredible then. I like how you took courses to better equip yourself in the job market instead of waiting for opportunity to present itself.

Does one require some specific skillset to be in your industry? I am late bloomer myself too and I am currently stuck.

No doubt, especially when I will admit I'm not one that enjoys the rigour of universities.

It depends, I guess. I'd say being strong in numbers or being strong in the ability to make sense of numbers. Most of the successful big guns in my field are not HR educated, they are actuarial science or engineering background. Being strong in excel is also crucial as you are churning through large datasets (though you are unlikely to find many VBA or even PowerQuery level folks yet) and lastly the ability to argue, decide and present findings based on the data available. The last one is more for the management side, as you will have to, for example, convince the Board why X% increment and why X mth bonus vis-a-vis company performance.

The problems in Performance and Rewards tend to be the entry barrier, it's pretty hard to convince someone to hire a mid-level talent that have no P&R background and these talents also won't come in at a entry level pay. Rewards being what it is also attracts the most attention / ire / debate at top levels so if you don't have the stomach for political ploys or top management facing it will be hard. And lastly, the hours can be grueling during payout time where decisions is left late but outcome is expected early

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this industry. Indeed not really good with numbers. I guess good in excel doesn't really help much lol.

1 month bonus split into bi annually.
Actually I’m thinking of switching to commercial since that is the path I’m aiming for now but I heard from many peers stating that gain experience from audit first before going into commercial. Is this true? Will audit skill really add value to commercial line?
