Still thinking can earn big salary in Malaysia, you may just dreaming? You wont get a salary beyond RM15k in Malaysia.

Why are they paying more to a single person when they can get 2 or 3 persons with the same salary.

A cleaner in SG or US could earn more than those professionals sitting in the office.

Of course there are.
Link.

I don't see any which their paid in MYR >15k

Or you're referring to the 0.0001% of those directors making millions? Or those people who steal rakyat money?

they are, you just need to look at the correct industry

i believe IT now is the new O&G after pandemic

15k MYR is just the upper range of senior engineer in IT field. For team leads, specialists, SMEs can get from 15k and beyond.

one thing good about IT is the one can put in lesser amount of effort for every buck they earn, some dumb people keep saying oh grab riders can earn rm8k also but they ignore the fact that how many risks and hours grab riders need to spent to earn that amount

Do enlighten me if you are the <1% who make more than RM15k salary a month.

Or maybe I should put >20k? (due to current high inflation caused by US)

I'm working in IT and personally know 6 persons (friends & acquaintances) in my circle that made 15k and above monthly salary.

Only one of them is director level (i believe he make more than 20k), 2 is manager / chapter lead and remaining are Specialist @ SME. Idk if they are part of 1% but i'm sure a whole lot of ppl out there earn more than that in Professional and corporate world. Business owner is totally out of discussion. Believe me 15k is really achievable

Quite common if you work in the larger PLCs and MNCs. Head of department or their deputy/assistant should be around there.

My common benchmark is your years of experience. If you have 15 years = RM15k salary.

Not every job can be replaced by quantity especially higher end/ skills based/ decision making / people management job.

For example:
1) You can't replace Lee Chong Wei with 3 players. Skills based.
2) You can't replace Elon musk experience with 3 assistants.
3) You can't just replace Gordon Ramsay with 3 sous chefs as other staffs may not buy-in

I can go on but I am curious what is your objective/ point of interest here?

My manager already 15k

This amount is actually pretty low in select industries

Even 1st year MBB fresh graduate associates already hit this pay scale

At a vendor location now and I can see about more than 20 of them earning more than RM15k a month.

I’m living your dream then

If you want to see even more data - https://datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting...ge/p_y00cuqsxsc

I know sometimes it is difficult to believe what people might say in forums but here are some data collected.

If you filter the dashboard to more than RM15k, you can see 274 submissions.

Total submissions at this point in time is 4572.

This makes the population in that database to be 6% earning more than RM15k.

which gua u lived?

but i guess, poor stays with poor....

15k monthly easi find lah

in sales industry
property, insurance, it sales, too many....

there are...jobs > 15k.

just less...

u may be surprise and what I say...

there r loopholes in how the world order in jobs are working..

exploit it...

2 or 3 people same salary are just grunts, they do the raw transactional works. However they need direction.
Just the same with football players, they may be the world best players in the world like Ronaldo or Messi.
But in the end, they need a good football manager to tell them where to move.
Amazing isn't it ?
So that's why they have a dude who controls 5, 10, 15, 30, 50 people.

However, there are good managers and there are bad managers
I've seen managers just set up meeting and tell their staff how to do their job, without even knowing what idea he or she is saying.
But yeah that is reality of life.

adalah. Management Consultant from consulting industry can break RM15k to RM20k a month.

15K is pretty cheap actually. Considering that even an IT developer in Singapore can maybe get SGD4-5k.

I am not talking about senior ones.

Lots of HODs in Malaysia's banks earn 15k a month. Definitely not uncommon.

I am working as an IT engineer and i am getting >15k per month. personally i knows more than dozen of friends working in the same industry getting 20K per month. dont be salty if u cant get it, work harder. we all studies day and night and go for a few exams every year to keep ourself updated.

just to name a few position, Cisco Advanced Services team (average 15K) ..ive got a few friends here. Senior DevOps engieer, Enterprise/Solution Architect from MNC .. Cloud Solution Architect .. there are so many positions that can get over 15K per month. Open your eyes and look around bro ..

Experienced consultants with how many years to hit this range?

Agree with your points.

There are plenty of non-IT jobs with monthly salary more than RM 15K. A supply chain planner with experience in bulk shipment / marine can get up to RM 18K. A plant maintenance manager can get up to RM 22K.

But, anyone wants to work as a sanitary worker and get 15K, then have to go to Singapore or US.
