You're right, not worth for it since the payment bad 😕🔥

How much is your increment?

How much is ur salary
How much is market?

Normal for company to underpaid. You need to jump.
I also make a leap which they offer me rm800 if ot and work on Saturday.

Dei, this is not how you negotiate salary.

Market rate is the worst justification you can use because it just shows you don't know your actual worth.

You know what is very likely? The average market rate, is on average doing a lot more work than you. You can't simply use your position/title as justification.

Open business mixue be own boss or find new job or stay current job

well, it's sad to hear that everything seems to be centered around you. you did extra but selective work, you think it's not worth it to do overtime, you need time for family, and you feel underpaid.

talking here also gives the impression that you are actually holding back your effort because you think it's not worthwhile. maybe you should start thinking about what the company needs and put in all your effort to contribute. by that time, i believe you wouldn’t even have to bargain for a higher salary. if you have to bargain, then you know you haven’t done enough in their eyes. if you want to wait for them to show their appreciation first before you start putting in the work, well, if one of your subordinates had this attitude, what would you do?

Things work both ways.
You expect company to pay you higher then only you put more effort.
Have you ever give a thought that bosses will only pay higher if they see you have given extra effort? If you have to nego and yet still doesn't get what you want, maybe the boss is not seeing the extra effort that you think you are giving. Pay must be substantiated with extra value.

That is why you should never stay loyal to a company... Times are different these days, and loyalty wouldn't pay you much now. Instead, job hop every 2-4 years...

It's also to test your skillset across the wide range of real-world markets found...

You'll get to play and work around with different leaderships, people of various skillsets, monetary and talent resources in the team / department, as well as different problems to tackle...

If you find a toxic leader, then move on before you get locked in and suffer... If you find a good team, and a good management, then stay lock in and floor it...

Also... when your salary gets higher, think about how to scale a team, money-saving causes for the company, as well as big-picture thinking...

400
5500-6000+ for 3 years+ experience, that's average, high about 6500+

By 'average doing a lot of work' do you mean I need to list every task and unrelated duties I've been handling outside my role to prove my worth? It seems unnecessary to go into that level of detail.
I also curious, have you had experience negotiating a salary increase or adjustment, or did you just move on when things didn't meet your expectations?
My example in the company:
Entry level (SPM) = 2 years of experience = 1000
Engineer = 3 years of experience = 2000
Average market rate = 3500

I’m still not sure why the market rate can't be a valid comparison. I briefly mentioned it to my boss, though I wasn’t really expecting much. But his response was more demoralizing than I expected.
I’m leaving soon anyway when I find better offer



They aren't making any effort to improve for their own work. Whenever something comes up, they just say they don't know how to handle it and expect me to step in. Or, they use the boss's name to push me into doing things, even when it's not my responsibility (other department, e.g, I created their company website for free). Always the urgent / last minute works, as if I owe them something.
Also, while I’m already expected to them to amend my work to their preferences to avoid potentially upsetting customers, when issues arise, the blame still falls on me simply because I was the one who communicated in the email.

It's not about putting myself above/highly anyone, but more about how their work culture just doesn’t align with mine, after enduring for 3 years+.

if salary cukup2 makan just do barely enough job and no need to do extra work..if other senior guy asked for help and u helped them, make sure u emailed them and also directors(taking ur own credit coz it is ur job & deserved it)...otherwise start looking for others job, u will be surprised how low u r paid or how more skillful u are...take any freelance job if any..
the boss or directors dont know u well personally and thinks u are not part of the "company family"..

good luck bro..remember if u die today, tomorrow they got replacement for u

Syukur I work in penang with 3+ years yet earning much more than high

Well said, love your statement 😍🔥
