Nah, that client did have CCNP only and I was impressed with his pay. I need to dig in if I need to verify though, as his case was of a few years ago. Works for a premier local company that is likely and MNC by now. 
Hey that is a good idea. Im like the deposits of all their income information  laugh.gif Why not right, some of them are bound to be looking for finances as well
Hehe. Thanks mate for the brilliant idea. Haven't thought of that since I never really needed a job. But you made good sense

You are senior yet you lepak at wrong place. rclxub.gif

Yea; get into job & career; lotsa data. Property section too. Not that BBBUUU gang.

Since you are in these field; maybe you should create something more detail sophisticated data bank of A-Z job list kind of data bank beating those kelly services kind or skim thru news about affordability and mortgage and disposal income etc.

smtg deeper than BNM data published.

Time to start running your own business on the side. If it pays off, start running it full time

In the same industry of course

Sometimes I wonder what separates one from each other to qualify for these high income positions? Any kind of quality that you can observe from them?

One thing I noticed is that these people are good in social skills, communications and presentation. They also speak confidently and able to carry themselves well.

Other than what you have listed so far, some things off the top of my head:

1) Management consulting - spoke to someone in one of the B consulting group 3 months ago (either Bain or BCG, won't reveal). Was told that RM12K for entry level consultant is legit, but qualifications needed very high. First class honours from Oxbridge or high gpa degree from Ivy Leage, Stanford, Chicago, Northwestern, Duke.

2) Lawyers - small practice lawyers who have established a certain reputation and built a certain network can earn RM20K to RM30K by the age of 35.

3) Successful businessmen - there are folks between ages 25 to 35 who have a successful business with tens of employees and a million or two in yearly revenue. Assume that they can make 20% net profit off of their business - that's approximately RM20K a month for a business with RM1 million revenue per year.

4) Partners in successful professional services firms - accounting, engineering, medical clinics, pharmacies - can reach partnership by age 30 to 35, can earn RM20K per month.

5) Local lads and ladies stationed here by MNCs but with expat status - I know some folks working for Fortune 500 level corporations who are Malaysian born and bred, but studied overseas, and have been posted back to Malaysia as "expats". Their compensation package is in foreign currency, and they also get benefits and allowance tagged on. Manager level chap with staff of 10 under him pulls in RM20K easy. Country head at age of 35 - RM40K / month. Regional head at age of 38 - RM70K/month excluding allowances. Include allowances, and he is in RM100K/month club.

That's just Malaysia. Haven't talked about the big fishes of Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Europe, Canada and US yet. Or the biggest quiet fishes in China. Very tip of the iceberg stuff here lar.

Moral of the story: Be employer if want higher chance of getting rich sooner. Employees forever their money controlled by bosses.

Seriously, its not that hard being an employer if you really into it. Think a bit what's the best business model and everything else there's info within your fingerprints.

Still, i'm not responsible if you fail when following my advice tongue.gif

Actuarial staff normally enjoy higher pay than other staff in insurance industry but it is mainly due to the longer hours they need to work. There are shortage of experienced actuarial people in the industry and it is not only in Malaysia. My previous company lost nearly 1/2 of their actuarial staff to Singapore. The highest position in actuarial should be the Appointed Actuary. It is not an easy position to achieve and you'll even need Bank Negara approval. Normally, the AA future in insurance companies are very bright as they will be groomed to be CEOs.

Audit Managers is another position where you need to sacrifice long hours. Everybody knows when most graduate starts, their beginning pay is nothing to shout about. Not many people can stand the long hours and most will jump to commercial firms before they reach managerial level. However, if they can bear with the long hours, promotion is usually quite fast. Of course if you have experience in big 4, your reputation will be much better compared to smaller firms.

Actuaries are highly paid at a young age especially if they got their professional qualification early = Yes

However, non of the general insurance companies in Malaysia has actuarial background... EVER.. since the past 50 years.

Perhaps life insurance but as far as I know.. no one groom actuarial to be CEO or COO cause they have a specific skill but it is not suitable for management. It makes sense too cause they lack operation/business knowledge since their skill set is very specific.

Most high-level executives left technical roles for management ones in the beginning of their life, not later. If you are a pilot or an acturial that have made it early in your career, there would be little incentives to switch into management

Career paths will take you to all sorts of ends; not to mention Joe Schmucks who try to be a C-level exec all his life but retired only as a middle-management laugh.gif
