Mine considered Diploma-level I guess.
I don't recommend skipping degree though. I just got lucky.

May I know I am underpaid or still doing well for age 26 years old? The reason why I accept the upcoming job is because I really need to move my salary to 4.3k above in order to commit house loan and also getting prepared to get married this july.

Also need some insight what is actually Associate level? Is it executive or Assistant Manager level? Since based on the JD I need to manage quite a lot. Altho I asked during the interview but it is not clear enough.
Thank you.

IMHO, you are underpaid. i have less experience and 2 years older than you with only a diploma. my salary is 6k. doing .net as well.

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

You can always opt out from EPF if you are able to generate >6% p.a.

As for taxes, declaring your own is always better than forced PCB. Almost all of your expenses can be deducted. Heard it from friend only. Can always wait for pros here to clarify on this matter.

I personally don't see a reason not to stick with the 9%+12% contribution, its sort of disciplining myself to supporting my retirement fund. However, I am curious whether there is a minimum amount to contribute?

PCB also seems to be much more hassle free and I think I would just tell myself that I'm essentially getting "cashback" after taxes are returned.

That's how I would like to perceive these two so it doesn't get to me too much, haha.

Overall I am content with my net, it's still a good bump from my current salary, so can't really complain there!

Another option is register SSM and open current account under own company name for SG employer to pay you there, then declare yourself as employee of your own business with 2k salary.

Basically only have to contribute 11% RM220 + 13% RM260 (unless you are planning to declare >5k)

2k salary dont have to declare income tax iinm.

Again, better to wait for our expats to clarify on this matter
