If you are earning around RM4000, would you consider going to SG with SGD2400? hmm.gif

Commitment still the same, no difference.

Hi

I did consider the above scenario a couple of years back. Decided against it.

The questions you'd have to ask yourself are:
1. SGD2.4k is entry level, if not marginally lower. Are you willing to go back to the bottom of the food chain? Consider your age & experience.
2. With that amount of SGD, can you maintain the same lifestyle you have in MY? If no, are those sacrifices you are willing to make?

In the end it is a very personal preference, and mine was to stay put in MY.

Cheers,
J

I wouldn't. Rent in SG is expensive. Transportation ain't cheap either. Food is slightly cheaper in number terms, but not enough to offset accommodation cost.

Give more breakdown lar, as per my original post. 1 single number for salary is really quite useless if you ask me.

Nice. See, that's what I am talking about. 8.3K is not much by /k standards, but your perks and bonus are definitely something here. Imagine comparing to another job that only pays RM 10k, but have nothing else. Yours is definitely better.

For Medical, how much coverage? Family coverage?

If you live in Klang Valley or KL/Selangor areas, even RM 10k also not enough huhuhu.

S$2400 is bare minimum living in SG.

i would only consider it if it's S$3600 or above.

Although, if you don't mind having a downgrade in quality of life, you can survive with S$1200 and save the rest. Accommodation wouldn't look pretty @ S$500.

==========

So far I am quite neutral with the pay. Definitely more than enough for me to live a comfortable life, but still I think I can work my ass off for something better. I am 2nd level outsourced so I kinda know how much cut is taken out before it reaches me. Experience wise still learning to adapt. Nowadays more interaction BU folks ... annoying to deal with. Skillset wise no plans to further specialize. Planning to learn a foreign language (properly). Should take 3~5 years.

Used to get a lot of monthly income from the insane OT that we're allowed to do (take home RM7~8k), but company no longer allows us to do so due to costing.

Started joining the workforce at 26 because I took STPM and finished my degree a little later. I have a feeling I might be among the people pulling low income in this thread. Already know what my peers in the company are making, even the seniors. They make RM300-400 more than me but they do a lot more work in comparison, while I clock in and clock out on time every day to spend more time with the wife.

Don't really feel motivated working here but it's stress free and near where I live. Been attending job interviews here and there once in a while to test the waters, but they all fell through.

Also doing a side gig involving translation after my normal working hours. Freelance but average monthly income is RM4k~5k.

What industry are you going to work at? I myself looking to start in 3D but as someone with no experience I have no idea if asking 2K is too much or that is the standard.

Different industry having different starting salary. Retail probably as you mentioned, RM2500. Banking sector maybe slight higher, Business analyst or some other niche market might offer you even higher. Management trainee does offer different range as well.

being in my position, I get access to some sensitive info... and I can say with absolute certainty, that what I got is far from a "good" rate here... it's just unfortunate that I joined after the global oil price crash... three years ago, I could have had much higher rate - maybe more than double.
but nevermind, to each their own... everyone's fate had been written... and besides, I can't really I complain with this much. Imagine, I made 13000 gross working in KL before this. so it's a big jump already, for which I am thankful.

Basically if we consider 22 working days in a month, you're getting $ 5500 + $4000 allowance, which makes $9500. Is it really worth it to go there from RM 13k? From the looks of it, your contract role has no benefits whatsoever.

Am curious, what is the living cost in Qatar like? Transport, food, rent?

As far as I understand the deviation isn’t so much in the basic but the car allownce is where the difference is.

For example: From my understanding , Distributor type sales rep (DKSH/Zuelig) car allowance = RM500-800 whereas Principal MNC (Roche/J&J/Pfizer and the likes ) = RM900 - RM1200

Well, cost of living is quite bearable here.

I made a choice to live in Al Khor, much closer to work than Doha. This saves me about 120km of travel daily. I estimate maybe around 400-500 riyals per month on fuel.

I drive (just got it yesterday, second hand) an Accord, so I don't expect maintenance would be too expensive. Could've gone with volvo s60 (under same company & workshop as Honda) but I'm sure maintenance would be higher.

Fuel is currently 1.95 for ron 95, and 1.85 for ron 91

I spend around 150-200 riyals per week on food n drinks. This could be 50% highere, were it not for free lunch at the office (6 out of 7 days per week, that is)

I don't pay for air api & net, as it comes with the accommodation, which is a partitioned villa (1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 living room, n 1 small kitchen area). I rent this for 2700 per month. There are cheaper alternatives, but I didn't have enough time to search for it, then. They only gave me hotel accommodation for up to 2 weeks.

I don't go for entertainment, too. I have a laptop with 1050ti, so my old steam games keep me entertained. Otherwise, there is YouTube and all that.

But mobile internet is expensive. I can only get weekly package, which is 20 riyals per 1GB per week. Instant messaging eats thru that quite quickly, never mind youtube.

I came here without my family, a conscious decision since schooling is very, very expensive. An average international school would be around 30,000 per child per year up to year 6...and it gets more expensive from there. There are schools that charge North of 50k...

Suppose it is alright. Normal I believe. Normally, banks have 2 months or more for bonus. So tasking 2 or 3 months, a basic of 3 to 3.5k is okay.

Hi, I was lucky to stumble upon this thread as I was looking for information about the salary pay of a company I'm bonded to (to be honest I'm not even sure if it's a good choice to agree to the bond during interview).
But here is the question before I ask anything, is it sensitive to ask about a specific company?

Yes very sensitive. But I think you can ask by stating industry instead as it will not go too far off if is the same industry.

Oh, then I better not specify but the company was quite well known in construction industry.
So, what can a bonded employee expect of his/her salary when they start serving the bond period? Would be glad if any people working in construction industry can share their opinion about this (perhaps giving some advice as well).

Yes, but is for their Local graduates.

For foreigners, you need to compete with talent from other countries such as India, China, Myanmar, Philippines, and of course Malaysian.
They will use very expected salary to apply/spam to the job (everyone are desperate to come SG), so if you put higher expected salary than them, you must be unique and have the skills that others dont have.

FYI SG have very high competitive environment, but the good is there are a lot of opportunities.

Tips: Apply SME jobs and it will be less competitors.

No. Please don't. That has to be the worst decision ever in history of worst decision.
No company want to hire dropout without experience. You wouldn't even get to interview session. I'm lucky there this small 5 person company willing to give me chance to prove myself.

You heard of Mark & Bill, but you haven't heard from the fallen majority. There more successful uni graduate out there. Stay in school.

The one who post here is usually two types

1) bluff..internet ma. I can put my increment 2000 but who knows?
2) the high performer

The one with lesser salary dont usually post here given the history of post where everyone showing they earn 5k - 100k.

Anyway 5% is good. Belongs to middle class increment. Most companies out there give lesser than that. I got 9% this year but i am the top performer of the company. Majority around 3-5%.

One and a half year have 2 increment? Sounds quite good to me.

And yes, sadly as mentioned by someone earlier, 5% is considered ok, as weird as it sounds.

PM doesn't define which Engineering field can get more than RM10k salary in 5 years. He just spit ball from his mouth wherever his brain can think.

You can use the JobStreet Salary Report as a guide to know what's the range of salary for someone with similar year of experience/ qualification as you.

Jobstreet is a very bad salary indicator since it's completely not representative of the actual salary range in the current market.

Payscale's data is more accurate in my experience.

IMO it's quite reflective. You can see based on x number of years experience and people with this title is earning between the bracket of x to y amount. At least it's accurate for the nature of my work.

If you say that it's a bad salary indicator, it's best you justify why and how is it different compared to Payscale and based on your observation, what's lacking in JobStreet's report. It will be better for you to explain rather than just saying it's not accurate without any explanation/ reason.

Not everything is correct, they do put a disclaimer saying it's merely a guide. it can be inaccurate depending on industries and requirement. There is no one same situation for each individual. If you can find better ones, by all means go ahead and share. This is quoting from JobStreet which is Malaysians' #1 job portal, so it has somewhat of credibility. However, you don't have to take their report for granted as it may not be applicable for all.

Make sure you change it to Malaysia and are seeing the amount in RM. Lastly, there's a range from minimum to maximum, but there's no rule to say you can't request for salary higher than the maximum bracket. It's your choice.

If your basic is RM2,400 and you have a prorated 13th month bonus salary equally divided to every month (meaning RM200 bonus)...that means your monthly gross take home is RM2,600.

Usually, when you go and negotiate with another company for a new job and you are comfortable with disclosing your current salary...will you say RM2600 or RM2400?

How will this usually be stated on the payslip every month?

RM2400 - salary
RM200 - bonus

OR

RM2600 - salary

Just tell the truth (some companies do background checks). Tell them monthly salary and the benefits which includes the 13th month. They will know how to offer if they sincerely want you.

My first official job 2014

Job Title : Regional Marketing Operations Exec (APAC)
Age : 26
Industry : IT solutions disti
Company: Singapore company
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Entry
Experience before joining (years) : Fresh grad
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Degree
Location : Petaling Jaya
Average Working Hours: 8-9 hours a day (timezone sucks when working on AUS project tho)

Monetary Payout
Basic Salary: RM 2500(starting) > RM 3000(got a paybump the end of the year)
Bonus: 13th month bonus

Benefits (where relevant) :
Health Benefits : None. RM50 per receipt claim basis
Transport Benefits : none
Mobile / Internet / Gadget Benefits : none
Flexi Working Hours : Depends on my manager approval.

Basically I didn't even bother doing any research on the market rate back then and later found out I was underpaid for a regional role.
Need to wait till the end of the year for the increment.



The same company -got acquired by Global UK MNC 2016

Job Title : Regional Marketing Specialist (ASIA)
Age : 28
Industry : IT solutions disti
Company: UK MNC
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Managerial
Experience before joining (years) : 2 years
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Degree
Location : Home based
Average Working Hours: 9-10 hours a day (90% working from home but the EU timezone diff was a bitch. 10% travel for meetings & events)

Monetary Payout
Basic Salary: RM 3000(starting) > RM 4100(paybump the end of the year)
Fixed Allowance: RM500 for transportation (yeah working from home right, just because it was hard to nego the increment)
Bonus: 13th month bonus

Benefits (where relevant) :
Health Benefits : RM1500 per annum for Optical/Dental/Health
Mobile / Internet / Gadget Benefits : RM300 max phone bill claim
Flexi Working Hours : Very flexible but comes with the territory. That damn timezone diff.
Other Benefits : Travelling abroad for business(more like yumcha session) was definitely one of the highlights working here.

Working from home in your boxer during conference call, but my sleeping hours was all over the place.
Indeed the best but not worth the pay.



The same company -wanna pull me to Singapore 2017

Job Title : Marketing Communications Manager
Age : 29
Industry : IT solutions disti
Company: UK MNC
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Managerial

Fixed Allowance: SGD 500
Bonus: 13th month bonus

Benefits (where relevant) :
Health Benefits : SGD500
Mobile / Internet / Gadget Benefits : SGD150 max phone bill claim
Flexi Working Hours : Nope.

Ok obviously it was just an offer and their MoM wouldnt approve my S-Pass/Employment Pass application and even the appeal.
No reason were given but most can tell that the pay offered was way below SG market rate for managerial level. (cheap labor)
Ended unemployed for 10months. FML



Finally a new offer I literally just signed/accepted. 2018

Job Title : Global Communications Specialist
Age : 30
Industry : Banking
Company: MNC

Apologies for the long post just wanna share my journey here. Being unemployed for 10months sucks. (freelancing getting kinda shitty)
At the end of the day it just depend on how much(salary) you think you can live with while maintaining the so called "work-life balance".
Even if you're underpaid and enjoying your day-to-day, no harm in looking out other opportunities befits your talents just as long as you can sacrifice something(your current state) for it.

From a hiring point of view, I would be wary of hiring you specifically because you seem to have spent little time in a single role before quitting. Experience is crucial for fresh grads as well as employees with less than 2 years of work experience. So when you mentioned quitting in less than a year merely because you didn't see any room for improvement/learning, it indicates lack of patience and loyalty hence you're probably only going to last 8-9 months with me.

Not saying job-hopping is bad, because it's the most efficient way to increase your income. However, the risk you are taking here is that recruiters/HR departments are looking at the dates in your resumes and thinking of the worst case scenario. To be successful in job-hopping, you need to have professional connections and network with recruiters and other HR personnel. Unless you can figure out a way to express the reasons you quit in a clear and concise way that will not jeopardize your chances in a new position, then you shouldn't have quit before securing another offer.

Please enlighten us as to what industry/field you are aspiring to be in. What is your long term career goal? Any interests at all?

This is one of the highest pay I heard for an employee with less than a year's experience shocking.gif

You studied in overseas or got first class? And mind telling whether if its MNC or GLC?

What do you think? For me, I believe that I'm underpaid & bit overloaded, and the company is not really stable right now (few issues with current projects that delay few salaries of all staffs, after no such records since I've joined). However, I kinda like the current job & having close team members, the company is quite near from my rented home, and I've been officially offered a manager position by mid of this year (with few hundreds increment only laugh.gif), so I honestly not sure should I jump to other company soon or stay for a while to see.

Furthermore if I quit, I'm sure there will be issue of getting replacement and knowledge transfer which further impact the current project that I'm focusing upon for past few years, mainly due to limited resources and specialized technology (hence the professional allowance).

First of all, I would like to congrats on your new role as manager and my hat's off to you for staying longer in the same company.

I think based on your experiences in handling end-to-end project, I think you are in demand on the market. Just make sure your skills in programming is relevant to the latest tech.

Yes you ARE underpaid, but the downsize of this is that you are not specialize in certain area that you can request for better salary and remuneration. If you DO specialize in certain area, that's fine.

You can change to different area such as becoming Business Analyst/System Analyst/Project Manager, or become support specialist. It's up to you.

You are also have difficulties to find opportunity elsewhere because you are comfortable with your current work and colleagues. But do know you are young and its better to challenge yourself and seek out of your comfort zone.

Good luck and all the best in your career.

Thank you, that's a very encouraging answer that I'm looking for. biggrin.gif

I agree, while I think of myself that I'm in a focused job (as 'integration specialist' or something), at the same I do feels like I'm actually not, since I'm doing end-to-end task of it. I'll try to look into similar area if possible, if not, the one that you suggest really helpful to consider.

Indeed, that's the dilemma that I have right now (in a comfort zone), and what you're saying is basically confirms it. I'll do my best to improve my career. Though, I do feel bad to the company if I leave, even if I know that I'm not supposed to get too attached with them.

Actually for admin, the job is quite stagnant and there is limitation in career progression.
2.8k @ 24 y/o on admin job actually is quite high already leh.

Yea you're right but really cannot because confirmed won't get promote anymore. Are you doing admin or studied business admin as well? Really no idea what job to go for.

What's your interest like after doing admin job?

And why resign before get new offer
*
I actually quite interested in doing sales after I did admin job, at least I get the chance to go outside instead of staying in the office although I finished my tasks.
any idea what kind of job business admin people can go for?

The reason I resign at the first because they hired an inexperience and don't know anything of supervisor to handle we the juniors instead of promotes one of us and increase our wages.

From a hiring point of view, I would be wary of hiring you specifically because you seem to have spent little time in a single role before quitting. Experience is crucial for fresh grads as well as employees with less than 2 years of work experience. So when you mentioned quitting in less than a year merely because you didn't see any room for improvement/learning, it indicates lack of patience and loyalty hence you're probably only going to last 8-9 months with me.

Not saying job-hopping is bad, because it's the most efficient way to increase your income. However, the risk you are taking here is that recruiters/HR departments are looking at the dates in your resumes and thinking of the worst case scenario. To be successful in job-hopping, you need to have professional connections and network with recruiters and other HR personnel. Unless you can figure out a way to express the reasons you quit in a clear and concise way that will not jeopardize your chances in a new position, then you shouldn't have quit before securing another offer.

Please enlighten us as to what industry/field you are aspiring to be in. What is your long term career goal? Any interests at all?
*
Thank you for the awesome reply from you sir. The reason why I quit is because i feeling like no more motivation / passion for me to work in the same tasks over again and again. I really really want to get a job that I passionate with. Therefore, I quit and focus look for another job.

I'm interested to do sales or online marketing after I did admin job, because I touch a bit with this industry during my admin job. Any job suggestion from you sir? I really would like to know what kind of job I can go for according to my working experience.

What's your job scope? Kinda hard to know just through job title.

Salary also depends on which company you landed in. SMEs.. potato salary. And some HRs are professional lowballers. Be on your guard about that.

Do you have any previous experience (especially in related field)? If yes, it would be easier for you to hop to another company, but if no, then:

a) If you still can learn something there, chances are you should still stay

OR

b) Nothing more to learn? Don't resign first, go out and find for another job, after confirm you got the job, only resign.

Yea I'm learning different things everyday. I have no routine. I only do what my boss tells me everyday. It's so good I learned something new everyday I wish i can stay there but the pay is too low.

I think need to jump after 1 year.

Or

Find a job related to my studies: manufacturing engineering

Is RM2200 salary is normal for fresh graduates degree? Digital marketing executive position. Can I achieve RM3k+ if I work here for 3 years or do I need to jump to another company after 1 year of my first year here?

I'm manufacturing engineering graduated btw.

Sorry not much information. Because I feel so down after seeing you guys here so high salary when you guys are still under 30 y/o. 😁😁

Not really. I heard many of my friends are getting >2.7k for sales exec and even more for digital marketing. One got about 3.5k and the others got 2.8-3k for digital marketing as fresh grad

Apparently digital marketing is higher than sales exec. But no commissions lah and all those transportation allowance as well

I would say its on the low side. When I joined my company 2 years ago, basic 2300. Only recently, they officially re adjust it to 2500 for new comers

For current staffs, there was an adjustment as well.

What do you think? For me, I believe that I'm underpaid & bit overloaded, and the company is not really stable right now (few issues with current projects that delay few salaries of all staffs, after no such records since I've joined). However, I kinda like the current job & having close team members, the company is quite near from my rented home, and I've been officially offered a manager position by mid of this year (with few hundreds increment only laugh.gif), so I honestly not sure should I jump to other company soon or stay for a while to see.

Furthermore if I quit, I'm sure there will be issue of getting replacement and knowledge transfer which further impact the current project that I'm focusing upon for past few years, mainly due to limited resources and specialized technology (hence the professional allowance).

He is working in Japan, and his salary in yen is pretty much average starting salary there i believe, ~240k yen. Cost of living there is way higher than in malaysia.

He also mentioned being stationed in malaysia will give him extra money which most company offer as well. For eg my company gives an additional 0.7-2.4 times my salary if i were to work outside malaysia, depends on whichh country usually based on hardship. Though for a malaysias to be stationed in malaysia and being paid as expat would be a dream job definitely lol

Your salary is quite standard for 1.5y exp engineer. You can definitely jump ship after earned 2-3 years of exp and earn like 5k. It depends on your expertise and skills as well, is your current job more to technical or management? Is it specialize technical job? If not specialize maybe difficult to get high pay because many competition in the market, just my 2 cent.

What's a reasonable salary for fresh degree graduate for audit associate working in big 4 and the rest these days? Is 2.3k really that low? Mid-tier firm. Not too tiny.

I've heard from my friend that fresh grads in KPMG are getting about 2.85k

I need some advice from all sifu here. I changed my jobs on Jan 18, I don't really like the environment in the new company. I plan to have a move soon. But I am in dilemma on the salary. Should I put my expectation salary 20% more from current salary or stay with my current salary for my jobs hunting? If I change my job now, it is will give a bad impression to the interviewer? I only work for 4 month only, but I have 5 year working experience before I joined this company

You can't guarantee that if u jump company again, the environment would be any better, right?

What will you answer if your interviewer ask "why jump company after only working for 4 months?"

agree be prepared wit all these questions first..
unless u really dun like the culture or the system of the company tat makes u wanan leave soo badly
then u can point them out to ur new employer..

else, in terms of salary wise, u oni worked for 4mths n u wanna put ur salary higher already? tat's a risk to not getting anything instead..

2 cents here~

I would say it's 80% technical and 20% management (procurement, schedule coordination). Right now, I am still dealing with general technical job for that is typical for a mechanical design engineer. Planning to get into one or two specialized skills and jump ship already. It's just that there's not that much opportunities to grow for design engineer in Malaysia.

I think the only reason acceptable to anyone for u to quit a company you have been working only 4 month are if u discovered that the company are doing something illegal and against your core principles. Other than that, itll only look bad on you, might shows that u are weak, not loyal, complainers etc. and 4 month is hardly enough to demand a pay rise as well, unless u didnt get any pay rise when u joined your current company from prevous job

What's a reasonable salary for fresh degree graduate for audit associate working in big 4 and the rest these days? Is 2.3k really that low? Mid-tier firm. Not too tiny.

I've heard from my friend that fresh grads in KPMG are getting about 2.85k
*
yes B4 is about 2.8-3.0 nowaday.
even mid tier like BDO is about same range.

Your friend is in BIG4?

So far personally I've heard 2.8k is the lowest for a fresh graduate since 5 years back. And some got 3-3.3k, not sure if it has to do with institution or CGPA.

In the end, it depends on how much changes u ahve to do vs your current work time and lifestyle, and whether the extra money worth making all those changes. I am single and i will probably choose 2 lol

Wow 4k health benefit I think I know which company you are working for. Their health benefit is considered quite generous for an MNC, but I do agree that you should be earning much more as you have 7 years of working experience in the field. But since you are in Kuching I couldn't comment much as I do not know the market rate there, but if you are working in KL you are definitely underpaid.

I was advised by a relative who used to work in Jakarta, to request for at least USD3000, for a job there. Not sure if that is just for basic or all in. He said any lower, the money is not worth it considering you are far from home. That was quite a few years back when USD was still 3.x of MYR. Now it's x4

Had a job offer in Jakarta as a team lead for 2,500 USD per month (1 year contract) last year, I was told it's high compared to locals for the same job. I'm sure alot of expats there get way higher but again, it's about what's the company budget for the position.

My job and salary is pretty similar to you, but in Embedded Automotive field. 4 years experience in current company plus 2 in another MNC. Job scope is smaller than you (Remove managing and server admin). No OT though and health benefit lower.

My seniors working close to 8 years+ have salary about 6-7k range, maybe higher. While my manager (+15 years exp) has about 12k plus I think. Not including their allowances.

I'm not sure how different the rates in Kuching is compared to those in Peninsular, but it does seem to me you are underpaid.

Any reason why u stop furthering ur degree? Or u need to support ur family? If none of these, then resign and go full time degree. PJJ is for people who married, got kids, shift work and no time for others accept work.

Jgn mengada taik kucing nak buat PJJ umur baru 21 ye dik. Later when ur reach 30, all friends got degree and becoming manager, earning 8~10k then only u realise the importance of having a degree.

========================================================================

Dear All, am currently seeking out because I have been struggling with current payout where both my parents have retired, and I'm financially committed to the family expenses (including parent's housing loan).

I'm key performer and KPI scoring is always above-average marks throughout the years. However with recent department restructuring, it's apparent that my role is no longer prominent and it's even harder for me to hope for promotion/ increment.

I've recently turned down an offer from HLBB which offering managerial role, as the salary they offered is below expectation (RM 4.9k without contractual bonus).

So my question is.. Am I underpaid with current salary?

Apart from that, what would be the most ideal ratio of increment should I ask for when I turn-in my resume? Without contractual bonus, I would say 20-25% increment if position remain the same, at least 35% increment if position offered is managerial level.
Note: As I've been receiving 14th months salary, increment shall be based on (RM 4,000*14)/12 = RM 4,667/ month

Guys, for monthly salary, do you take 13th month salary into account? For me, the 13th month salary is prorated every month. So if for example my pay rm2400, I get gross rm2600 monthly.

In such situation, what is my “monthly” salary folllowing normal convention?

Any reason why u stop furthering ur degree? Or u need to support ur family? If none of these, then resign and go full time degree. PJJ is for people who married, got kids, shift work and no time for others accept work.

Jgn mengada taik kucing nak buat PJJ umur baru 21 ye dik. Later when ur reach 30, all friends got degree and becoming manager, earning 8~10k then only u realise the importance of having a degree.

None of the reason above, I think I want to study while continue my working experience. Sorry abang, sebab itu saya bertanya whether is it okay or not. Okay I will further my study (full time degree).

No you usually don't factor in your bonus unless you're borrowing loan where the bank may consider it as extra income

It's above average payroll wise, RM3.5k basic + RM1.7k allowance for a junior sales is almost unheard of.

Progress is something you need to evaluate yourself, i.e. where do you see this job leading you to or what's your exit strategy if you're switching lane after a few years.

In general I got lucky with good bosses. I had IT related degree.
Working hours are really depending on the project loads. Sometimes peak season too many concurrent projects ongoing then need to stay late a bit. I avoid working on weekends since it's the only resting day.

I guess in the end, those extra hours paid off.

That 12k is because of overtime? Quite high for 4 years experience. But ive seen similar case, and yeah work hour almost double the normal work hour, 75-80, so that salary kinda justify the workload, scale down to normal hour, tll be around 6-7k, which is still high for 4 years exp.

Our company doesn't have overtime payment policies, so the 12k is the basic only. But I guess they factored the 'work hour' in haha

I felt my basic is too low.how do you guys think? i was not demanding during receiving this job before bcoz I really wanted to be in this Sys Admin,even I took cert using own money, but now felt the burden since I already got housing loan(house will complete 2019/2020)
Just now receive a call for the same position at Maybank, but contract under agency payroll,not sure how much should I request.
Anyone want to hire me?? biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

No offer yet, but the recruiter ask me how much I expect..Since the job is contract and I feel insecure being under contract I requested more than double than what I have now..Dont think will get that.Still finding acceptable range based on my exp and qualification.

It's hands down international firms. You're looking at being involved not only on local projects but international ones as well. Some of the companies such as TY and Arup have short (STA) and long term transfer (LTA) assignments (about 5-10% of the entire company's workforce are either on STA or LTA)... so the chances are pretty good.

Other than that, I would say the amount of internal training and upskill programs that the international firms have are unparalleled compared to local firms. You'll be exposed to the latest work methods and also access to a wide network of individuals who can assist you in all things related to engineer through their internal forums.

And I think one of the best thing in terms of portfolio would be that the projects you undertake. They are usually unique, complex and challenging... and in most cases that's why clients engage them so often compared to local ones cause of the resources and knowledge international firms have to design a cost efficient, aesthetically pleasing and optimal performance building.

Check the list here for consultants that are currently involved in major super tall buildings in Malaysia.

yes i totally agree especially on the internal training and benefits. but consider this, the worst thing about working at international firm is that you aren't sure of when will you be able to be acknowledged and chosen to enjoy such benefits ? There are too many levels of hierarchy, unless you're performing extremely well and lucky enough to have a good senior that doesn't steal your credit, or else it's going to take some time.

As for local firms, its not that competitive, and if you have a good boss that acknowledge your worth in the company, given that the scale of the projects are not that small, it is still acceptable isn't it ?

Dilemmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

they are a lot of local large firms you can consider too. although they may not have the amount of training given, but the benefits and working culture is comparable. a lot of local large firms dont have that much of politics too due to lesser level of hierarchy.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask.

Do recruitment agency or headhunter try to lowball your salary? I put my expected salary as `X` on jobstreet. Then this recruitment agency called and offered me a job which pays X amount. I then Google and use jobstreet to search for that post and it pays `above my expected salary`

if you put X and they give you X, they are giving you what you want. that's a good sign. If you put X and they give you X-Y only then it can be called as a lowball.

Lets just say that my expected salary on Jobstreet is RM6k, and then this company is offering RM8k, since the recruitment agency says that the company only offers Rm6k to me, does that mean this recruitment agency gets to pocket RM2k per month from this company? Is that how it works?

Lets just say that my expected salary on Jobstreet is RM6k, and then this company is offering RM8k, since the recruitment agency says that the company only offers Rm6k to me, does that mean this recruitment agency gets to pocket RM2k per month from this company? Is that how it works?

yes. normally, the client pays them higher for their supply of manpower. i'm doing project management and one of my scope is to supply manpower for the project. we charge the client 800USD per day for project engineer and we pay the project engineer around 400MYR per day. we get our profit from manpower through such deal.

I believe this is the case. I was offered RM 5k++ for my job for a Korean company that just set up here. The recruitment agent agreed to my salary on the spot without even negotiating to reduce. From all my interviews this was the first experience. I was speaking to my Korean accounting manager when i was there and he said that since I and a few others were the first few employees in the company they did not mind paying the extra.

from my experience jumping over to 5 different companies, there's no difference between permanent and contract staff. tbh contract staff deserves to be paid more than permanent because they lack the job security.

yep. so, whichever you pick, it's the same. but the negotiation for a higher salary is more towards contract terms.

No, it doesn't work out that way, the 2K not going anyone pocket

The reason recruiter low ball your pay is so that it is easier to convince the employer to take you

Let say the recruiter bonus is 1 month against the candidate salary, as a recruiter will you choose to
1. Low risk of dispute and secure the 6k commission
2. Insist with 8k commission and you probably get nothing eventually

The best hiring is always deal with the hiring manager directly.

Ok I get it now. Of course recruiter would choose 1, they would rather secure that 6k commision (higher chance to get), than to get 8k from client and get nothing anyway if the employer isn't willing to pay RM8k to hire me. So in this case recruiter would just settle with Rm6k as it is more guaranteed to get compared to RM8k which client might not hire me

i would say Singapore.

The amount you can save in SG would be a lot more than KL especially once you start converting SGD over to MYR.

Plus, working in SG would look better in your resume.

Some of my friends were earning RM3.5k~8k working in MNC or EPCC status company doing tasks as defined in a fixed scope.

what commitment you have? And are you supporting yourself to study?

What are you comparing with when you say you can learn a lot more? Or is it more like "I feel like" i can learn a lot more being with a local vendor company?
Your friend got full degree? or also diploma but tip top?

notice period of firm? if you feel underappreciated I think that is a sign to jump ship, considering you have 8 years of experience tho idk how many of that experience are actually real experience

i would say Singapore.

The amount you can save in SG would be a lot more than KL especially once you start converting SGD over to MYR.

Plus, working in SG would look better in your resume.

Extremely misleading. You can’t save much with a salary of 2.2k SGD. Rent alone would cost you 500. Plus career prospect is not really good in Singapore as there is too much competition there and you would probably be a 9-6 slave.

what commitment you have? And are you supporting yourself to study?
After deduction left RM2384.45, minus (RM):
450 - House rental
327 - Bike installment
300 - Households/groceries
250 - Short semester tuition fee, because no PTPTN in short sem, 250 x 6 = 1500.
200 - CC, bought a gift for a dear sister..
150 - PTPTN for Diploma, yes I keep on paying because I'm concerned about other's chances to get their study loan in the future..
110 - Broadband
65 - TNB
30 - Prepaid
7 - Syabas

Balance RM495 liao for food, petrol, etc.. Sometimes I go outstation/OT got few extra hundred to make up, sometimes nothing.. Not bitching here because still got others who are more unlucky.. Cukurrr thumbup.gif

What are you comparing with when you say you can learn a lot more? Or is it more like "I feel like" i can learn a lot more being with a local vendor company?
Your friend got full degree? or also diploma but tip top?

notice period of firm? if you feel underappreciated I think that is a sign to jump ship, considering you have 8 years of experience tho idk how many of that experience are actually real experience
*
I myself only consider these 2 years as real exp. Those 6 years just not worth that much.

"Learn a lot more" was in the context of dealing with more diversified products. It is more like "I feel like". The friend who earned 8k is a Diploma holder, working in an Authorized Inspection Agency (MNC) as a General Inspector. 6/7 years exp.

I do feel underappreciated because bunch of new fresh grads (degree) who knew peanuts started with about RM3.1k, some got RM2.9~RM3.5k. Lately they've caused a lot of headache for me because of their stupidity and ignorance, got me frustrated. I kerja cuci taik.

Don't even know how to read procedures. I even have to teach them on how to use the caliper. Damn childish, 1 inch also don't know how to convert to mm. Been repeating the same lesson for few months, the next week asked the same question, again.

I wanted to get more involved in engineering department, which I'm afraid is not possible in other reputable companies outside of the current one with my current qualification. Do you think it is possible?

Thanks & Regards!

it depends what job that he is doing in Singapore, the industry in Singapore consists of too many Small businesses, many of them don't have the proper process and tools in the business.

The 13th month salary and project completion bonus is very nice to have as not many companies give those. I myself am in the same field as yours too. And I have to say you are doing pretty good!

Can I ask for opinions here?

I am a graduate in Finance and Accounting, left one of the Big accounting firms after 5 months. I receive an offer after attending an interview as below:

Industry : Air Conditioner Manufacturing Company
Position : Young Accountants Programme
Location : Sungai Buloh
Basic : RM2500
Allowance : RM500
Sponsorship of studies : ICAEW (the company is willing to register itself as my training employer)
Bond : 3 years
Higheat education : Degree from a Foreign university in Malaysia
Age :25

Personally, I am not content with the basic, as it is a little low in Selangor. Furthermore, I am from Melaka. Accepting the offer means I have to rent a room in Sungai Buloh or other areas and I definitely have to drive as it is too far away from MRT Sungai Buloh.

I don't know whether should I accept the offer. I don't know what would be the future of taking this role. Could anyone especially someone in my field advise me on this?

Normally people wouldn't leave big 4 until like 2 years in, then they jump to other firms for work life balance. Unless your big accounting firm doesn't mean big 4, I would ask why not try getting into big4 if you want a fruitful place to kick-start your accounting life? Considering that now is peak hire season and I'm assuming you've got less than 2 years experience, why not actively look for other opportunities? There's a career fair coming soon this weekend in Kl

It's a big 4 in regional office. I left because I don't like the nature of the job and the culture of the company in Melaka. Always thinking that I have other possibilities in the accounting field other than Big4.That's the reason I applied for this position as I wanted to specialise in the commercial lines earlier in my career while still getting my chartered qualification.

Nature of the job as in you don't like accounting? I don't quite get it. or is it like you prefer working with mnc than in big4 where they look at other peoples book instead of their own? (idk how it works tbh)

There are always finance roles in like idk Astro? They have a finance stream for fresh grad. BAT as well for finance and they pay relatively well (but I think they've stopped recruiting).

As of right now, is that your only option? How long were you given to consider? Why did you apply if you're not happy with the pay? Another thing is grades do matter especially in this field for fresh grad, how well did you do? If you're not an outspoken candidate these offer may seem scarce.

Bonded for 3 years, 2.5k pay, doesn't seem good at all to me. Get yourself more option, then you can pick and choose.

Nature of the job as in the extreme working hour and extensive travelling which are too much for me to handle being an individual with a mental health history. So, I am trying to look for a role that would be less dynamic and taxing. But It does not mean that I cannot work under pressure at all. Personally, I prefer to draft and prepare the financial statements of a company rather than auditing other companies.

This is not my only option. I have applied to bank for internal audit and compliance positions which will take 1 month to process my application due to background checking procedures required by BNM, after attending the interview. However, this offer came before I receive the other offer. I need to get back to them by next Monday.

I did very great in my grades. I haven't come across any employers that will offer me a higher salary based on my achievement in my studies. Maybe I didn't apply for the right one. And again a great student does not mean he is a great employee right?

Regarding the grades, don't get me wrong. Just that I've heard alot of my peers complaining about how hard is it to get a job in this field as their grades might have bottled neck their capabilities as they couldn't land themselves an interview. With less options, your negotiating power decreases, hence the phrase beggars can't be choosers. Though one should never just look at grades but Malaysia is still one of the countries where employers filter out using grades in the first stage.

Well if that's the case, I would suggest picking your next job properly since you've already got a taste of what you can and cannot handle. Judging from what you've said, I don't think you'll be happy with the offer, tho it sounds like exactly what you wish for.

Things I would consider:
1) the current odds of getting the bank offer
2) what's the compensation package like for the bank internal audit position, eg pay and does it support your qualification study?
3) which bank is it? reviews? might be the same old toxic environment you wouldn't know
4) how long can i survive being unemployed? Any side projects I can work on while actively applying for jobs?
5) if applying for jobs is taxing then just accept the offer

My 2 cents. All the best thumbsup.gif

FYI the project completion bonus is very subjective (only for high contributor/performer for the project that i currently involve), and not for every project. However this is the first project that i am involving in this company. smile.gif

We use PHP codeigniter for API and React JS for front end.
It's a startup backed by big company, and they are rushing things. That's why hiring like crazy and willing to pay as long as the person can deliver.

This. If you can speak Jap/Viet/Thai you can command more.

The good thing with these BPO if they probably won't lowball you, but you feel little career advancement.

Sometimes feel underappreciated for the amount of work i put in.. within 7 months boss raise me to Manager level, but only title raise, pay didn't rise. But oh well, company not making money, i think we can consider as "start up" phase due to new venture.

Most importantly I really do not enjoy doing the work here as it's not my passion, joined the company under the premise that I can do my real passion which is music stuff. but end up until now haven't done any of that.

Thinking of leaving the company but feel guilty cause i know company rely on me a lot.

I work in a very specific type of law firm which fortunately has fixed salary increments which are always increasing (driven by market so if one firm increases base pay all of the other firms will follow). On the flip side they expect you to be available 24/7 so there are months when I work without a weekend.

Am looking for new opportunities and may possibly get an offer from another O&G company for at least 20k. Told their internal recruiter my bottom line was that and thereafter an interview was arranged. Depending on the job scope may try to negotiate higher. Targeting at least 30% increment. Quite happy in my current working environment and team and the work life balance is good. But not happy with my career progression as not promoted for last 5 years due to lean team size in department despite the significant increase in my responsibilities (there is only me and my boss handling quite large portfolio).

Cognizant of the oil market these past few years so can't complain but now that industry is picking up seems like too good an opportunity to miss. What i know is my current company would likely try to counter-offer me to stay if i resign as i really contribute much to my team but i'm in a dilemma whether to accept if they match the new offer. In my company it seems like the trend is to resign and capable employees would get counter-offered to get a decent and fair salary hike. I know for a fact they will have difficulty finding a replacement able to handle the workload that i have.

Should i stay if counter-offered?
Pros: better pay, used to environment and people i work with, work life balance, people in the company know my abilities and no necessity to prove myself
Cons: Career progression ceiling, Company may prepare succession plan and possibility of being viewed as disloyal, etc.. the usual negative traits that follow a counter-offer

Should i leave?
Pros: better pay, new challenges, new environment, higher potential for career progression
Cons: Unknowns, Restarting career path and build credibility all over again

That is a very good pay at your age. May I know what triggered your move back to Malaysia? How did you negotiate your salary in MYR during that point of time?

My situation is very much like yours now. I am currently working in KL. Getting good pay, but somehow I am feeling I am hitting a bottleneck in terms of my career now.

I work in a very specific type of law firm which fortunately has fixed salary increments which are always increasing (driven by market so if one firm increases base pay all of the other firms will follow). On the flip side they expect you to be available 24/7 so there are months when I work without a weekend.

You work for 6 years only, and now you can get RM11,650, that's quite high.
How much they pay you want you start working in this company?

That is a very good pay at your age. May I know what triggered your move back to Malaysia? How did you negotiate your salary in MYR during that point of time?

My situation is very much like yours now. I am currently working in KL. Getting good pay, but somehow I am feeling I am hitting a bottleneck in terms of my career now.

I was tired of Singapore life after two years there. It seems like a bed of roses but in actuality it takes a drain on your soul as there is a lot of negativity in daily life such as people fighting over small things in the mrt. I just asked the hiring company to match my salary in Singapore which although I didn’t get a raise was actually a blessing in disguise as after that O&G companies started to shut their offices in SG then.

What kind of role? Sales, cs, operations, analytics, risk, compliance, audit, credit, treasury?

I would assume RM4k would be a fair number...but not sure. Wait for others to chime in.

3yrs experience...your gross take home at ~RM4.75k...26 yrs old...I don't think this is underpaid. Better than a lot of people IRL (but of course not better than most in this thread, due to self-selection bias).

Can't just look at the package in totality, there are a lot of factors to be considered. Yes you are getting 7k increment which is by itself a whopping 63% more. In any case i would have jumped straight in. However:

1. Since you are not a PR, no CPF for you but that would also mean your take home pay is higher. But you lose out on the 12-15% epf contribution by your Malaysian MNC employer
2. Effective Tax Rate is lower in Singapore so that is a plus.
3. What is your objective in going to Sg? Do you want to settle down in SG and your fiance will follow suit in the future? or are you just aiming to be there for a short period to earn SGD with the long term aim to be back in Malaysia to settle down? These are very important question that needs to be answered. (Having kids in SG is not a cheap affair if you dont plan to settle down in SG i.e getting a PR)
4. Prepare to fork out 600-1000sgd for a decent room depending on location. For co-habitation with your fiance, it is going to be more.
5. Long term Career progression. Are there still growth at where you are now? Or are you looking to go out of your comfort zone? Are you prepared to leave your professional network that you have built in your current company/country?

Sometimes feel underappreciated for the amount of work i put in.. within 7 months boss raise me to Manager level, but only title raise, pay didn't rise. But oh well, company not making money, i think we can consider as "start up" phase due to new venture.

Most importantly I really do not enjoy doing the work here as it's not my passion, joined the company under the premise that I can do my real passion which is music stuff. but end up until now haven't done any of that.

Thinking of leaving the company but feel guilty cause i know company rely on me a lot.

Pay is actually quite good already for a fresh grad getting 3.5k basic. but no additional allowance other than phone
After 1.5 or 2 years ask for a raise? Else better jumpship if one can offer you 3.5-4k.

Bro. Rule of thumb should be dollar to dollar about 20 percent less. Ur current 11k now best scenario is should be about 9k. 6k in Sg not a lot particularly if u are already servicing a house loan now in Malaysia.
6k then u need 1k for rent. Then ur Malaysia home about 700 sgd? Assuming 500k house. Left 4.3, minus expenses maybe 1.5k. U 11k salary and single u cannot save 4.5k a month?

I did my calculations also coz I was hoping for an offer similar like urs. After calculate the little extra is not worth leaving my family and kid.

Bro. The rule of thumb does not work as we move up the salary band.

Fresh grad SG and fresh grad MY both range similar, between 3-4K (in respective currency)
Once you reach higher level, the Malaysian salary slowly catches to SG level (after conversion)
Typical 5k SGD job, Malaysia pays RM8k (exec/snr exec)
Typical 8k SGD job, Malaysia pays RM14k (lead)
Typical 10k+ SGD job, Malaysia pays RM20k+ (manager/head)

ps. I’m talking about MNC companies, chinaman company in sg and my both have out of whack compensations

Not to mention Singapore effective tax is wayyy lower (especially compared to high income bracket Malaysian jobs)

Job Title : Cloud Telephony Platform Engineer
Job Description: Basically a Level 4 Voice Engineer dealing with Contact Center IP PBX system, but also handles dealing with other aspects of a "cloud" platform i.e. work with Infra/Platform, Networks, Storage, DB, Telco provider, Software Vendor etc to resolve issues for customer
Age : 27
Years spent in company : 1
Company : MNC
Industry : IT
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Exec
Experience before joining (years) : 5
Highest paper qualification/ education background : BSC Hons Comp Science
Location : KL
Average Working Hours Per Week (incl lunch hours): Should be 40 but end up doing a heck lot more, I can say worst has been 60-80 hours

Monetary Payout
Basic Salary + Fixed Allowance : RM8500 + RM150 Internet + RM120 Mobile + RM400 On Call Shift Allowance = RM9170
Contractual Bonus (months): 0
Performance, Variable Bonus & Commissions (months) : Depends if team meets KPI, but never seen any figure to what it actually is

Flexi Working Hours : Yes but KL bosses talk behind your back as they don't like it, but don't openly say it
Other Benefits : None

I feel underpaid & underappreciated for the amount of work I do for this company. Maybe its because I am too kind when it comes to helping others. I am honestly looking to move on but SIP/VOIP opportunities seem to be very scarce these days.

Was talking to some recruiters, there's a very large salary range one job title can have biggrin.gif

I asked to look into a solutions architect position with 10+ years of experience. Dimension Data is paying RM12-15k per month, a few other companies in the middle around RM18-21k, Avanade was looking at RM22-28k

I shouldn't be surprised though, this falls exactly in the range of the current Robert Walters salary survey for KL 2018 biggrin.gif

I would say a you are little bit underpaid, but it is a normal salary rate for a local SME business. With your master qualification, MNC company should be able to pay you higher.
