Hi all sifu,

I'm 26 working in IT field and currently earning 6k myr per month, before tax.

Was wondering for my salary range is it considered below ave or average in Klang Valley.

For me 6k (5k+ after tax) is not really a lot if you plan to live in here for long term, especially with all sort of commitment.

I did some analysis on my own spending, with this salary seems like it will be difficult for me to get a house as well.

My spending:
Rental: 650 (all in)
Car: 1k (loan+parking+petrol)
Insurance: 330
Food: 800 (include dating, as i usually pay for food when im dating with gf)

With only these it already sum up to roughly 2.8k. That leave me around 2.5 or 2.6k. This is without factoring in car maintenance and also giving parent money. Also if i was to buy a house, it will leave me with almost no saving per month.

So just want to know the average earning we should at least have, maybe at 30 to at least be able to live in Klang Valley with own house.

I,m setting a goal for me to earn at least 10k in 30, but not sure that is realistic or not.

Due to Covid-19, currently i’m working from home since CNY after return from china. I’m getting less salary during this period since my pay is base on working hour. Because of this pandemic, i have to turn down a few good offer which they required me to travel. Not a good time to travel at now. Meanwhile My boss also asking me to join as his permanent staff and he’s offering SGD10k start from next month if i agree. Haven't respond him yet.

Mostly BMS and HVAC System. Depend on your role on that project and what project.
I’m not doing design but i‘ll represent Client for design review, comments and approve drawings for construction during detail design. I will monitor the quality of workmanship and requirement that i need during installation stage before i‘ll take over these systems for commissioning. I will handover to User after completion and train them.

T20 or top 20% in the country, means 1 in every 5 Malaysians is in T20. This includes the massive number of natives who earn below minimum wages. If you're walking on a street in Klang Valley, quite possibility 2-3 in every 5 Malaysian you see is in T20.

RM10k a month is definitely above average in Malaysia but it's not something worth bragging in my humble opinion.

top 20th percentile(t20) is not 1 out of 5. google it.

Ok here is the deal guys, I really need some good advice.

I have been looking for opportunities outside since a year or two ago. I always find the current company I am working in is quite outdated in term of technologies and too many legacy things to work on which don't really give me any kind of satisfaction in the job scope.

Now I have a chance ( job offer ) to join another company which is completely different field from what I am doing right now, but I do have the Bachelor Degree that is fitting the job scope very much, i.e. hardware design engineer. And most importantly it is working on the latest tech possible, not everyday wiping the shat that was created by some old guy back in 2000.

So now my concern is that, I might get a promotion in the upcoming year 2021, around April, which might give me a salary boost to around RM5000? (optimistic)
But also at the same time, the performance bonus for next year is completely none as the business is not doing so great.

On the other hand, the job offer is offering me a higher grade, but the biggest drawback is the salary is still the same I am getting now. However, the extra bonuses the company is offering is way more than I can get in 2021 if I choose to stay in the current company. Also the hiring bonuses are also very attractive.
Question is, should I vouch for a better company, a better bonus, (maybe a better working environment), but different job scope (which I have to start fresh again).
Or should I stay at the old company, risking to get promoted (we can never try manager's words) and maybe the increment is just at max 10%.

I tried to nego for higher basic salary for the job offer, but the justification is obvious that I don't have any fitting skillsets required. It is kindna like a miracle that I can actually get the job offer.

Doing some updates on my current status:
