Whats with youngster nowadays , starting salary all so dang high one?!?!

I tink u the one should google the meaning expat.

MBBs 😁

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?

Yes they are very selective, but the best way to get called for an interview is to get a current or former MBB consultant to vouch/recommend you. Pay attention to their events and sign up for it, BCG Malaysia had an intro to consulting call in mid October, at least you're past the general filters once you get to these types of events.

The calls for interview I had with McKinsey and BCG were both via recommendations, Bain rejected my online application despite having the correct pedigree (top 10 Ivy, top 10 b-school) 

Depends on your definition of standard.

IMO 3% to 4% is barely enough to cover inflation rate.

You should aim for 7% and more. 10% or more is considered very good.

If your salary starts at RM 3k, and assume every year you get 3% of increment. After 20 years (at age 44+) you work your salary will only be at RM 5.2k which is almost impossible to survive especially if you have family.

But if you get around 7% of increment yearly, with the same starting salary RM 3k after 20 years you will earn almost RM 11k which is quite okay for white collars worker.

Conclusion, start to find company that can provide you better salary and improve your skills as well.

thank you!
I didn't drive, but rather riding my kapcai to office. as for dental/optical they revised the benefit and up the amount to all employees
eh, nolah, at 22 i think, after my diploma, doing a degree while working and currently doing my MBA while working as well.
I started with SharePoint from 2011, then move to O365 & Azure until now. So, about 8 years doing MS platform especially in SharePoint.
Actually the last adjustment was June last year, i put the old one on Jan, so, it already 1 year for my increment. The basic just add RM500, only the allowance, they introduce new allowance, so i enjoyed it as well.

Just joined this company on 1st August. The management created a new position for me because they want to take me in. It's only 2 days working in this company and I felt this company is fast-paced which is OK for me cause I get used to it. Previous company slowly changing become Chinaman and when competitor offer me a role.. So why not? When I tender my resignation that time, my previous company did counter-offer me. But I stick with my decision as I need to move out from my comfort zone and took a career change  Felt like the new management has high expectation on me for deliver, but I am confident!!   Hope I will perform well in this job!

But what makes me really took a jump and career change in this new company is that, they wanted to take me in and offering me a different role that suits me. Perhaps I am an extrovert and love talking to people, hence they offer me partnership role. Location wise is 20KM from my house, which is nearer. Previously was 40++KM one way which I spent daily 2 hours on road.
