Hi, I have one problem to ask that is related to Fintech jobs in malaysia.

I am a self-learn coder (have degree but not related to IT and graduated 4-5 years dy) and now consider to change path. I want to do payment-related/fintech jobs which I think can bring in more money to me and also I am more interested in managing those backend infra too.

Now I have an offer from 1 company which is developing apps for their clients I believe (higher salary and more focused on frontend I think) and another backend role (lower salary like RM600 less). I also apply for fintech jobs but they like dun want people without experience before.

So now which job should I choose if my plan is to join fintech in the future? Choose higher salary first or related field first? Because I see those fintech jobs put focus on backend experience or experience building SaaS so much, so I am a little bit worry about whether the job I choose will affect my future job or not if I want to jump.

Sorry for my broken English also. Really need advice from other people now. TQ.

You definitely need to gain the experience as a lot of the Fintech related companies need to scale up and scale fast. They don't have the time to really want to teach new folks. But of course that is just generalising and I believe that there will be those that are willing to groom. I would recommend that you get as much experience first, and even say that you chose to be at the front end side, make sure that everytime when you work with the folks at the backend, as as many questions as you can. Why are they doing this, why are they doing that? Are those driven by regulation, compliance, risk? From the frontend side, focus on the customer's experience. Work closely with the UIUX team, understand what is human centered designs in order to ensure that the frontend is not some excel looking shit.
