Compared with Peninsular, the price definitely consider low. But in the East side here, there's not much IT based company so limited choice of work to select. Reality always sad.

Yes
Just hope that if you do own business in East Malaysia in future you do not pay staff similar salaries.

Quick QS, wonder if you know about the salary market in SG? I got an offer but the interviewer were asking for my expected package. I'm not really sure if I should just ask for the same figure as what I'm getting now or should I raise my expectation. One thing to take note is, my professional qualification (Huawei & Juniper certified in networking) but it wasnt their favor one. So this part makes me wonder about my asking price.

I doubt u can ask for same salary.
8k malaysia doubt u can get 8k sgd.

Nah i think it is a good eye opener for most people to know how much they are actually worth.
You just need to have the confidence to fight for it.
You don't know what you don't know.

I have friends who got 5 figure as their first job after degree.
I have friends who are still under 5K RM after 5 years of working.

Both have the same degree from the same university.

Yes, a lot of people are too afraid on this matter.
