Well give him some benefit of doubt.
What's the practical level one can expect at 30 though?

I'm in IC field (Chipset industry), which is a very demanding sector currently. Do note that i didn't have any bonus, the stated is monthly average.
I'm not the highest though at my age. There are a lot more people higher than me.
And yes, I created a new account just to contribute a post in here. I did not have any account previously.

As I am working with an employer outside of Malaysia, I will have to pay for my own EPF and taxes. With a total monthly payment of 7k, my gross is really just ~RM6150.

Despite feeling low balled, I believe the experience and one foot into SG will be worth it in the long run

It depends whether SG will be worth or not. My friend step into SG until now still 3k+ SGD. Whereas my salary bump from RM3k to 5 figures in Malaysia.
You can argue that if he is capable, he can get 5 figures in SG too. That is correct, but pretty rare range in SG.
But Malaysia still our sweet home isn't it smile.gif
Basically in Tech field, Msia range can be RM3k - RM30k pretty easy, whereas SG normally 3k - 10k SGD.
