agreed.30 as a minimum..
You are mid 30s with only 8k

Those people who loudly and unashamedly reveal their pay in the internet are already high to begin with which they will use as an opportunity to humble brag. This creates sample bias.

- On this statement, I have never revealed my pay here but what I can say for certain is that many from MNC and GLC backgrounds go for min 20-30% hike. Especially when salary is below 30%. I have helped many friends, many of whom never used Lowyat forum before to secure 30% hike and not a measly 5% or 3% hike.

Those of you who propose 20-30% hike when job hopping is, while can happen OCCASIONALLY, is unrealistic. Majority of the job hoppers in Malaysia get a few percent.

- On this statement, maybe its true. But it is not OCCASSIONAL but very probable. This is from my experience in O&G and others in MNC environment.

Unless you are living in some small town with limited opportunities, then it is a different story.

Agree with you on 2 things:
1. Sample bias on Lowyat forum
2. getting high increment when you job hop is NOTHING to celebrate because it simply means that you were underpaid the whole time - Applicable most of the time.
