To those keep commenting IT downtrend, are you from IT? If you are, and salary still low, I would suggest you to review your career path, either you are sux in your skills or you don't know your strength and negotiate the best for yourself.
I'm an experienced IT professional and been in this industry since 2010, 2500% hike in basic salary in 11 years and still growing, excluding my side income
Edit: you may look at FANG if still have doubts on IT package.

QUOTE(SaberCortez @ Oct 7 2021, 10:35 AM) No thanks, I avoid sales like a plague. They put everything under IT nowdays. Call center also IT, normal sales who selling internet package also IT. I am no expert but they need to divvy up which particular part of IT is having downtrend. As far as I am concern, those core IT jobs are still uptrend and still going higher like Software Engineer, Devops, Architect etc. You can't walk away from presentation if you wants high salary in IT, imagine you have excellent skillset but you didn't know how to present to the committee members, I would say presales role able to groom an IT tech person to another level. |

QUOTE(bumpo @ Oct 7 2021, 03:58 PM) IT is a very broad spectrum. from data entry clerk to wire crimping technician to gps device installer to programmer to db admin and more are all under the big IT umbrella. how certain are you that every single job that is encapsulated is not having any downtrend?  That's why as an IT professional, we have to keep learning and apply to our work If you still work the way people work in 2010, of course the salary or package won't go up.... |

QUOTE(bumpo @ Oct 7 2021, 05:55 PM) just for discussion, lets say at one point there are many mnc support centers here in malaysia. you being part of the support liine and you did all the right things to improve yourself and getting quite the nice package :thumbsup: then for reasons beyond your control these mnc decides to move their support centers out from malaysia now you yourself needing to find new job since couldnt follow the company out. but job of similar role and pay scale just became very scarce. other smaller companies with similar role simply cannot offer you same package as what those big mnc do even if you are the good at what you do sux to be caught in downtrend but its far too much generalizing and being too optimistic to brush it off with just saying "keep improving and you will keep raking in more moneh regardless" especially when IT is very broad and the impact is felt different across the spectrum. something which you seem to ignore  Bro, u need to utilize what you have learned, seek for better opportunity rather than complaints no opportunity knock your door. Be proactive la please This post has been edited by lifeofkuli: Oct 7 2021, 09:08 PM |
