My questions:
1. Am I underpaid in this industry?
2. Is semiconductor even a good industry to work in to get high salary, compared to other industries like sales and software engineering?
3. I work in this company for 3 years + so far, should I hop more in order to increase my salary?
4. Anyone from semiconductor industry who has very good salary can share how to gain more? Is it by hopping more oftenly?
5. Is it partly because of my location is in Melaka and hence the salary is low? Who else is from Penang / KL semiconductor industry and do you mind to share your salary information here?

Thanks!

Nope Mr. Genius, I continued with my full time Masters degree (fully research) after I have finished my Bachelor's degree and that's why I started to work at 25. But I get it, that some people need to belittle others to make themselves feel superior.

but it is a pain in the ass facts that driving lorry can easily earn more than most of the professionals today.
