Future Prospects (personal outlook) :
Current salary against peers in industry :For sales exec I think this pay is decent for the amount of work that needs to be done and WLB
Growth prospects : Development of new products is harder than I thought. Requires a lot of communication skills and patience. Those who say AI can replace sales and business development easily really dreaming. Your client can reject the AI more easily than a human. I believe there is always a strong demand for sales, marketing and business development
Where I will go from here : Depends on my performance in current place for this few years. Hope to go to leadership or management position in 5 more years.

Some background:
I started working in 2016 where I was some kuli in manufacturing.
2016 pay was RM2900. When I quit in 2019 it was 3500.

Then I joined a sales and service company (MNC)
The pay was only RM3800. But I took it because I was sick of the previous company and new company also offered me company car.
When I quit in 2022 because of crazy middle management my pay was RM4400. I would say I missed out on big pay jump in this second job. But I saved quite a bit as I did not have much commitment at that time. Work load was also less due to MCO shortly after I joined.

Then from that RM4400 jump to my current RM6200. I don't really hope to jump again for the next big increment; since I think my current place is quite good.
