QUOTE(MyRedz @ Nov 22 2020, 12:07 AM) Sure been considering it for a while..need to brush up my resume then..in terms of skillset I am a bit confident as here we get to learn all things for our work Haha, I am still <30 so experience-wise, I think you are few years ahead.I guess at the age of 32, it's still not late to jump? But yes, I think it's never too late. Or maybe put it this way: even if you don't jump, you'll still be growing older. Of course, do your homework, weigh the pros and cons yourself, since you're from engineering background I guess you do this quite often p/s: I've never hopped before too so my words could be naive, take them lightly. |

QUOTE(kangaroonext20km @ Mar 30 2021, 08:15 PM) I work 2 jobs. Not sure I should be jealous of the near 30k pay or be fortunate that I don't have 100 hours of work....One is my dads dream, the other is my own hobby. Maybe this can serve as a cautionary tale for others who might be pressured to study hard by their parent OR to study something they dislike. First Job Job Title : Dentist Job Desciption : Dentist Age : 29 Years spent in company : 1 Company : Own Company Industry : Dental Tenure : 1.5 year Employment Level : Director/Dentist in charge Experience before joining (years) : 5 years Highest paper qualification/ education background : Bachelor of Dental Surgery Location : KL Average Working Hours Per Week (incl lunch hours): 60 Office hours, and maybe extra 10 admin stuff Monetary Payout Around 15-20K Monthly Benefits (where relevant) : Non cause self employed clinic Second Job Job Title : Web Hosting Company owner Job Desciption : Host sites Age : 29 Years spent in company : 4 years Company : Own company Industry : IT Tenure : 4 years Employment Level : Own company Experience before joining (years) : Highest paper qualification/ education background : Zero. Since I studied dentistry, and was science stream, I learnt linux server management on my free time Location : KL Average Working Hours Per Week (incl lunch hours): 10-20ish hours a week, mostly everything is automated, answer around 5-10 support tickets per day, which usually takes a few minutes to maybe up to 30 mins per ticket to resolve. Monetary Payout 12-16K RM Monthly ( 3-4K USD/Mo ) So I'm now stuck with 2 jobs, working almost 100 hours a week, and I can't drop either that easily .. Sometimes wish didn't study dentistry, and just did IT.. What do you have in mind for plan? Hosaka liked this post
