It’s good that you have the drive to try something new, especially since you were already aware that management was trying to stifle your growth. Most importantly, you’re earning more, and you can use this new experience to upskill yourself and get that MNC/GLC job in a few years.

BTW, once you get used to your new work environment, you’ll feel like you’ve been there decades instead of months lol.

grass is always greener on the other side...good luck and strive on.

its time to step out the comfort zone and venture your career elsewhere

I think you made a good decision.

Do a research on the new company through glassdoor

always best to jump ship after a few years (eg 4 years) so you wont feel so scared

Good luck. Change is always scary, but also exciting. All the best!

Anyone who stays will always be underpaid. Employers, like any other human being, always want more for less.

A change of state ie. jumping will always be a bit scary because you take on new risks. You are essentially being rewarded for taking on new risk. Get comfortable with risk and you will be rewarded well.

Good luck.

I've tried put up with it for 4 years and its getting worse to the point its affecting my works. Hence.. The bye bye..

Ironically. My own Manager kind a accept my resignation but the Head HR call me in after few days and have a 'long' talk with me and try to persuade me to stay altho he's not pushy.

Then i heard from him that other Managers complain that i resign (apparently i'm a favorite to them).

Thank u all for the positive feedback !

I feel soo much assure now 

But my HR Manager been calling me into his room for a 'chat'. Did it once last week and i honestly just told him all the cons that i've been having and dealing with.

After a week he called me in again for another 'chat'.

Weird

Spot on. Unless a request for salary adjustment is made, or a promotion/ counter offer made. Thus there's always the pros & cons of staying.
If you have no intention to stay anyway, just tell them flat out that you've made up your mind about the resignation.

It's okay that you point out some of the reasons/ situation but hold back from being too honest, as it may offend some who are involved.

Anyway all the best TS. It is always scary to step out of the comfort zone but if you don't do it, you won't know what's "out there" to learn & master in other organization. If you're lucky, you may even meet a good mentor in the new place.

For big corporations, there are various hidden cost you might not see. Try to look from their perspective, if you have an employee with you for more than 10 years and one day you decide to offer him/her a VSS, you will need to compensate 1 - 1.5 months of wage for each year of services.

I doubt so. Company been using all kind of excuses to cut cost and even our decade appreciation gift was cut down from a gold locket to 1k cash 

10 years is a long time, it's normal to second guess the decision you've made. Just go get it!

All the best to you OP!

May i ask your age?

What passion? You are basically someone receiving paychecks month after month from your employer for the role they created for you to do..

You should save your passion to be an entrepreneur

So i was with this MNC company for more than 10 years and decided to quit and jump ship to a medium consultant firm. I've more than 16 years of work experience too..

Reason is :

1. After 10 years my basic salary is still consider underpaid in my line

2. Management prefer to promote fresh face and newbies

3. Working environment is becoming toxic

4. My own career development is being halt by my management

5. Lack of manpower is getting worse - i'm doing a 4 person jobs at the moment

6. I started to lost the passion and joy in my works

But the good news is new company is paying me more than 1.5k different. Plus the workplace is just 5-10min commute from my house. Current one is 30min unless i need to go to site then become 1hour plus.

I'm scared (probably coz jumping ship from top gun to lil gun) but at the same time happy as finally leaving this environment. A lil bit unsettling feeling coz i dunno how the new place gonna be also..

Wish me luck peeps and please share any similar experience u have similar to me ?

How much salary now?

That's easy :

1. Passion helps intensifying focus
2. It enables creativity and innovation (very important in my field)
3. Passion for work enhances the desire to pursue excellence
4. It increases your contribution to work
5. Passion brings energy at work (less absenteeism case)
6. You feel more satisfied and less stressed
7. Your working more does not become a mere ‘workload’
8. It is a great way of improving the work environment
9. You feel happy to put in extra hours and extra efforts

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”
-Martin Luther King Jr.-

But honestly i pity those that work without just the teeniest passion. Meaning u only work for the paycheck ? That's a bit sad tho.
