As i know, nowadays software engineering there is not so valuable as much as like b4,
if you are not studying in overseas (software engineering) but in malaysia,
your "price" will not get very high only.....

i dunno how much is the basic salary for software engineering now,
and do they are very needed in malaysia ?

thx for your opinions and advice~

Now days fresh grad can get easily starting from RM 3500-3600. More and more companies now are willing to hire fresh grad. If any fresh grad is willing to join company out of his forte field to learn internal programming language, then offered salary will be more higher even for fresh grad.

If any fresh grad is willing to join company who offers to learn different software or language, then offered salary will be more higher even for fresh grad for same role compare other one.

thats typical Msian mentality
before anything... already say impossible...

do you know that Msians in general are one of the lowest paid employees in the world?
Some Fresh programmers in FB in San Fran gets USD100-120k PA
minimum for fresh grads in US is USD30k PA (average about 45k PA)
and we are still telling others impossible.... you cant earn so much...
not just the employers discriminate... the employees themselves do it ttoo...

what if i tell you that 7 yrs experience engineer (non-IT) gets RM22k salary per month in Msia? Office based
you think its impossible as well?

I can give you a list of companies that pay 3.5k for fresh grad, in fact all Management Trainee/Graduate Trainee program has standard rate of RM 3500. And its not just IT industry.

Graduate/Management Trainee Program
1. Uniqlo - They start with 4k basic, the only setback is the travelling and working hour.
2. Nippon Paint - 3.5k
3. Prudential - 3.5k
4. Daimler AG (Mercedes Benz) -3.5k with allowances
5. Unilever - 3.2k - 3.5k
6. British American Tabacco - 3.2k - 3.6k with allowances
7. DHL - 3.2k - 3.5k with travel allowance of RM 700
8. Toyota UMW - 3.5k and above
9. Sime Darby Auto - 3.2k to 3.5k ( depending on which premium brand you work on, they have BMW, Porsche, Hyundai, McLaren, Ford etc...)

IT Graduate Trainee Program
1. AMD Malaysia - 3.5k start off with 1 year contract
2. HP Malaysia - 3.2k -3.8k depending on the role, those under infra support gets lower, those under application development gets higher.
3. Quintiq - 3.6k with allowances
4. Global Intelligence - 3.8k with sign on bonus and training trip to US. CGPA 3.9 will get 4k
5. Microsoft Malaysia - 3.8k - 4.5k, training trip to U.S.
6. Petronas ICT - 3.6k with allowances and expensive training course
7. Shell IT - undefined
8. Experian - 3.2 -3.6k with allowances
9. Oracle Corp - 3.5k

All the above are subject for graduates with excellent academic records, and it means CGPA 3.5 above, especially for IT industry.
Theres many more I cant list out because they are my clients cool2.gif
Well, i will leave it to your discrete whether or not its true icon_idea.gif whistling.gif

18k should be project manager that handles whole SDLF or Java Architect(this refers to technical manager). Unless the company pay them USD.

But im still quite curious. Legit recruiter here, if you have the company name i can straight access Jobstreet or other job portals database to check.
