Gomen uni ikut job level kan.

Yes. DS45 DS51 DS52 DS53 DS54 Special ABC

But I want to ask private uni/college too.

public or private? if public can just refer tangga gaji for most universities, if private depends on the management.

i want know private.

13 years ago, I remember the offer was about 5.5k before allowance for govt unis and UTAR level unis. Those foreign unis with campuses in Malaysia offer more.

May i know the foreign unis offer? Got 7k?

Yeah, more than 7k at that time.

Gomen, starting salary is gred 51. 5.8k + 1.6k allowance (could be more if you're SM > SS or SS > SM).

Private - depends on the institutions.

If the institution solely rely on Teaching and Learning (T&L), I heard 6k starting is common.

If the institution also have Research and Publication as part of the institution's goals, then 8k upwards as starting is common.

This is for PhD-requirement positions.

5 digits.

Depend you are nons or malay

Cheh then ur question bodo lah

PHD - Pizza Hut Delivery

I have a client, 35 year old lecturer with a popular college in Bukit Damansara, only got Masters, no PHD, was already on 5.5k a month.

I know a head of faculty in a University in Cyberjaya who holds 3 PHDs, 15k a month, drive Proton Accodana. Lose to ktard 20k a month SPM grad.

University of Chiang Mai offered approx MYR5.5K gross earlier this year. It's a govt uni. Ah well at least can hear a lot of sawadeekap over there.

Certain other foreign pvt unis (which shall remain unnamed) offer bonuses and bounties on academic paper publications with the highest going to those accepted by Q1 journals.

Pay is ok-ish.

Problem is the profile they hired. Had always been some kind of nerds that never had any kind of industry experience.

they earn money by publishing research

True.

Because if you are already in the industry, why are you diving into the education field, what more in gomen lol.

That's why current practice in gomen uni is prioritizing PhD holder with industrial experience, but not many with industrial experience AND a PhD apply... if a Gred 51 position is open, probably only 1 or 2 with industrial experience apply.

Because the current practice is you can only increase your starting salary i.e. for 51, is RM295/year AFTER your highest academic qualification.

Example - an engineer with 10 years experience in O&G, then after that 10 years you studied and obtained PhD. That 10 years of industrial experience prior to obtaining PhD cannot be used to increase starting salary, only experience AFTER your highest academic qualification counts.

idk lecturer.. but cikgu sure lots money...

always kene scam 2 3 juta.
