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

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

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

Hi guys,

Quick question  for all the sifus here.

If job change with 15% increments (total package) only, is it worth to jump or not? Doing sales job with no commissions.

E.g before is MYR 5500. Future is MYR 6300. Future Employees benefits is slightly lower than before.

Minta tolong for feedbacks....

i dont think so. look like not worth hmm
reduced benefits compensated with the increment. what else u get?

well my circle of friends are mostly programmers / software dev, and it's safe to say it's pretty normal for 4 - 5 years experience. Although I'll admit my salary could be at the 75% percentile of software developers (higher than 75% of people with same profession & same years of experience). Though I'm the youngest because I graduate earlier than many other (I completed my degree at age 21).

A few other extreme cases seeing a 28 year SW developer earning 16k ++ with 6 years exp (a mutual friend of mine).
And a senior tech consultant who's doing programming job too is earning > 10k with the same years experience as me.

They're talented people, though.
*
That's a lot tbh.
ex classmate i know, software developer, but earning around 3.5k only.
maybe because he's in manufacturing mnc and his background is electrical engineering.

My 1st company offer higher, which is 3.5k, but due to some reason i'm hop to 2nd company, but at that meantime I have no work for 1 month cause I have savings that enough for me to sustain my daily expenses. After that, took the 2nd company offer, like in the previous post, as written in the offer letter I could get the amount I demand, but I got lowballed, that time I guess I still a noob  cry.gif , as for now my skill set and job scope is slowly spread wider. Were a full stack .Net developer handling project like what you described here, using all newest technology platform to develop big projects, and until now involved to Python which is not a .Net field. If positive thinking, that would be additional positive point. Now come back to salary topic, I guess i am underpaid for having doing multiple jobscope.

PS: I also handling Server stuffs such as server migration etc.

Based on Shah Alam market price, it shouldn't be too low. and also my increment were only 5.5%, highest is 8% that applies to higher management. They say 5.5% is high  rclxub.gif , now I don't know.

i left my previous company because boss only give me 5% increment.
as a fresh grad, that is very very little.
when asked boss why i only get 5%, he say he need to fit it into the bell curve/ distribution.

Usually MNC is like this. They have thousands of employees around the globe, and if their business doesn't grow much (let's say 5% per annum only), but they give average 5% increment to everyone, their business won't be healthy.

And for the normal distribution graph / bell curve, it applies to everywhere around the world A-Z, no way you can hide from it.

Hence, only the best gets the best feed. The normal guys won't climb too high.
*
thats why sometimes i like small business.
you can see your boss everyday, got issue just straight to his office.
their increment is usually lump sum amount, ie 500, 1000

i think in mnc, you wont even have chance to meet your ceo/director lol
