wait until after your final exam la....
start applying while waiting for your results.

you will end up get the same result from the hr ... 'its too soon'

You should be finishing study sumwhere june or july? Im wondering whats the hurry with your application. Even if you got an offer on hand you cant leave your study without finishing it anyway.

All the recruitment at present time is to find a suitable candidate ASAP to fill in the spot. I doubt they will wait for a non graduate that are still months away from graduating. Just make sure the recruiter is informed of your study duration. If they still insists you to go for the interviewer then probably you will be kept under KIV and they might still need people later. Do communicate it upfront and ask them when they are looking to fill in the post. Dont sign the offer then only to let them know you have not graduated yet and still far from it.

Stay in your shell forever if you're so afraid.

If your end goal is to leave Malaysia and you already have the option to do so now, why not?

But for us to help you analyse your position to better advice you.. Why not share which companies have offered you so far?

What industry are you in?

of course you could work locally and make the move in the future, but just know that opportunities to work abroad does not come around often.

If you havent sign any papers yet then you are free to choose which company you like.

Whats the salary they offered locally and in SG? 2.5k is slightly on the lower end but you can still save up and live normally within your means.

Better choose big company lor. much of benefits they provided.

Like me, after graduated im working with main contractor (small company) only 6 months.

Then, i got offer from public listed property developer company, my life changing so much. They provide good basic salary, OT, shares, good bonus, staff purchase discount, outpatient medical for family, medical card, long annual leave, etc.

Currently im sticking with this company around 6years and i still can learn & grow like main contractor does.

With the benefits they provided, im also achieve one step higher in salary & benefits than my other college mates.

malaysia job is also stressful especially working with chinese boss. some employer even dont recognize job experience in malaysia. you might also start from zero. then you will regret not getting the sg job.

2.8k small
3.5k mid
4.5k big and femes

depends on what company you go to.

Big MNC O&G market will pay RM5k for fresh grad.
I also know of top class Civil consultancies in Malaysia paying 4.5k+ , but workload like shit.
I also know cheapo chinaman consultancies paying 2.8k

3k is rule of thumb for MNC and GLCs
i.e. no MNC will pay you less than that figure and GLCs will at least pay in that ball park.

2.2-2.7k is range for small consultancies.

no harm in applying for any job and asking for 3.5k.
afaik, many companies are heading there in terms of pay already, at least for bigger ones.

If hiring manager ask why, then you just counter back to say "it's my expected celery, if not can nego".
you don't ask for too high, nor do you lowball. Show confidence, but not ignorance.

Yes, you can ask for 3k.
When I was a fresh grad, a hiring manager of a small 10+ employee engineering company once told me 3k was too high too, but mentioned it could be considered the figure passed probation. They didn't take me in the end, probably got an experience hire.

No harm in asking. They should understand that costs of living these days are not cheap, thus you would need that kind of figure anyway.

If they ask why you're asking for that kind of figure, just justify the figure with facts, not bullshit.
E.g. dont say you need to buy ipong or bubble tea or pay toyota Godcar loan.

Also, market price is around there anyway. If they're not willing to pay that figure, they would have a hard time trying to hire.

PE only good for signing off drawings in Malaysia....or to put it in other words.....shake leg, sign paper, make monies

Used to be that there's only one PE, now Malaysia has 2 stage PE, which is Ir. and Ir. with Practicing Certificate.
You need Ir. to get Ir. with PC. You need Ir. with PC to sign stuff off.

For Ir. application, you need 3+ years working experience and preferably supervised by an Ir.
If there are no Ir. in your office, you may seek help from the Institution of Engineers Malaysia, which are the people supervising the Ir. exams in the first place.

There's a logbook system if there's no one to directly look over you. You'd need to ask the people at IEM to be clear on the procedure. I am a member, though not active enough to remember these things.

Make sure you are registered with BEM as well before you even consider a job to pursue Ir.
BEM will only cost you RM50 one time fee + Rm15 postage should you want them to post the cert to you.

IEM will cost RM100 per year, though it is optional for Ir. certification. It's just so happen that most Ir. are IEM members, although not requirement
