me saddingz too

i am 34 only earn 10k

my dad think its a lot because he still stuck in 1990 (he retired many eons ago and not updated with latest numbers)

i got influenced by my dad and also think its a lot

lol

after seeing this thread i just realise its peanuts

theres prob also a self selection going on

if u earn 2-3 k u prob wont post on here...

Yes, my biggest shock was interviewing a wells drilling engineer who earned RM95k monthly and this doesn't include his allowances yet.

I think nowadays 10k is like more of a need than nice to have

If you consider nett take home of 10k; thats about 7k++?

Assuming alone without family and kids

Room Rental - rm700?? (include all the utilities)
Car - lets say rm600
30 days makan - 1000 a month (kind of no fancy stuffs and stick to rm10 per meal avg)
Petrol - rm300
Insurance & medical - rm500
Basic living stuffs - rm500 ~ rm800 - home cleaning stuffs, groceries, hair cut, personal hygiene stuffs, basic clothes, car insurance, road tax,
30% of nett pay savings - 2100

Which gives you a bit of balance for some indulgence like mini travel, hanging out with friends, having some life
Also if you have your parents, you will need to support them too. So earning 8k to 10k is more like the 5k 20 years ago

I’m 44, lucky enough to say i earn a decent sum where i am starting to save for retirement age after having saved for my kids college education; although i think by then the inflation will be worse

nett 8k

hksgmy you don't come here and make others depressed hehe.

I…. am soon to be unemployed at the end of the year. I should do well to keep my big mouth firmly shut and know my station in kopitiam life hahahaha

anyone has info what big4 paying these days and bonus?

entry associates
manager
senior manager
?

read from xhs china big 4 has reduces salaries

wow, everyone is so high paid. And here I am worried I won't have enough for retirement. Any tips to get higher pay other than keep jumping?

I mean, in the days of our parents, probably working beyond our scope of work might still net us a recognition and compensation in financial terms..
but looking at the current situation of the industries, jumping company is still possibly that one "tried-and-true" method to get a (significantly) higher pay..

RM10k at 34 is quite good. Everyone has their own journey. Some may reach a certain level but stagnate, some will gain trajectory in later years. Just do your best

Hi all, would like to seek advice. How much is the pay range as a data architect or solution architect in MNC companies?

I think it depends on your experience and last drawn salary too. Personally I know people ranging from 10-20s K.

Job market is hell now. so hard to find plus if get the competition is crazy coz so many of the experts kena vss also compete for the same role.

Sometimes I wonder if I should try business but I got no skill

If my last drawn salary between 4-5k, how much expected I can get for an increment?

Seeing y'all salary very high, makes me so peanuts. And my current job kinda stunted the skills growth

What are you working as now?

Analyst in workforce management sector

I'm not sure what's your career progression path but in my case its something like this:
Analyst -> Engineer -> Architect

Do your role have any certification you can take?
Exam is one good way to gain knowledge and show your employer you are ready to take additional responsibility

I think I can, but I don't know where to start, since my work dealt a lot with engineer
