Really? My LinkedIn is still suggesting quality work from MNCs. However, everytime I apply in, I get ghosted. No replies at all. I will be lucky if they got back to me and said I wasn't shortlisted.
I agree with the Facebook part though. In the last 2 years I've looked into jobs posted on Facebook jobs, a lot are low quality jobs like labourer and lorry drivers that pay RM1200 no OT and benefits.
I applied into 1 company in Sarawak. Got the job and everything but it collapsed and went bankrupt due to financing problems. Unfortunate tbh and this role I had for less than 1 year.
Sarawak companies don't really hire that well tbh. I've been back with my family here in EM/Bru since 2018 and tbh the jobs that are hiring are low quality jobs. You can see admin jobs advertising for as low as RM900 back then and that was before the minimum wage was rm1200.

But you are right about the hiring hurdle tbh. In my last company my ex boss hired 1 IT exec where the salary was rm1800. My ex boss was a bit of a psycho so he treated this IT exec like shit, asking him to do so much work but pay only rm1800. The IT guy got really pissed so he left after 4mths...last I heard he's went to Kuching and he's getting paid rm2500.

I think most companies in EM are generally not very well off. If you can get rm2000 gaji considered not bad already.
No budget or limited budget. That's why can't pay better. Most IT ppl I know went to KL/WM to find job since the pay band is higher.
Am planning to move back to KL/WM when permissible tbh. The job market here is too sluggish. Am in the media background btw used to work in an int'l MNC. Had to quit and come back to EM to help my family for a bit. Now it seems like it has stabilised by some I plan on going back... But the travel restrictions though. Still haven't had a clear cut understanding of travelling interstate if it weren't for work.

Oh lol no. I don't work in IT, but I still applied anyway to ask if they have any admin/media roles. Never got any replies. But then it's IT...its needed here in EM but the salaries paid to IT grads are low AF.
