if without exp and at least diploma i'll consider it's ok for that amount. some more, it's not KL or Penang. i assume that ipoh living cost is much lower than both i mentioned.

u r lucky cos in your industry 4 years exp can get that much ady compared to others. in construction field, 4 years exp with degree can get around rm4k-5k only. that's average. but MNC in my industry pay quite well.

if indon got forum with topic like this with the same post, sure got reply like this "How to do, either keep quite & work, or just work in Malaysia"

sorry HappyA_Q, it's not that we are against u.. but most of us here feel like.. that if u r underpaid, then most of us are under underpaid.. and in this downturn situation of economy, who kena kick out from the company will grab any jobs available even the salary damn low and not meet their exp. juz like my new colleague. he got diploma in mech. work in a manufacturing industry with 4years exp and salary rm3.5k. now he switch line (construction) and got rm1.9k oni.

and also u compared with other country salary. it's different and unfair comparison. maybe u got more in SG but the expenses shud be more also.

so u shud be grateful to get such salary

my uncle is COO at Petronas Kerteh. he only own a Honda City prev. version and a Satria Neo.. salary reach RM20k also not buying at least RM200k car

IT field pay like crazy.. i think maybe the profit margin for IT business is very high.. normally offer service to client only and the charges damn expensive.. like my office just setup network rm2000 for 2 days. then if need them to come 1 hour RM100 @_@!

ya, maybe u r true.. but from the observation here we can see besides OnG, IT field also is a nice pay job.

i dont know whether u can use my case as reference..

after 1 year working with my company (my very 1st company after graduate) i demand for RM700 increment and after nego my boss agree to gimme RM500 increment. so i think it's possible since u ady work for 2 years.

my company is a supplier in a construction industry.. i am project/marketing engineer. the reason why i get such increment cos i submit my resignation letter after had a big fight with my boss.. i took 3 days leave and after i went back, my boss wanna retain me and gimme increment and promise me at least 3months bonus for this year i wasnt doing it purposely, juz lucky.

then go seek for other company la..

that's OnG company my friend. besides that industry, fresh grad engineering student can get between rm1.8k-rm2.5k. even MNC such as flextronic just give RM2.8k for fresh grads but your CGPA must be good or u end up working with local SME company with low starting salary. face the reality. i used to be like u before, whining why the range of salary is low. juz grab any job oppurtunity, dont wait until u get your expected salary. end up u get nothing and waste your time. remember that TIME is your EXPERIENCE and experience is MONEY.

Added on April 6, 2009, 2:24 amoh ya, my friend also work in OnG industry offshore based. basic salary RM3.5k plus offshore allowance RM500/day. got petrol card that entitled him to pump petronas fuel at RM1/liter. but he's LUCKY to get that job since his brother is a BIG MAN in SHELL. he's my only ex-coursemate with 5 figure income as a fresh grad. degree in Construction Management. not related but he got CABLE. that's it.

Added on April 6, 2009, 2:31 ami have a big fight with my boss. then submitted my resignation letter. i know they still want me cos im the key person of the company. when we have a discussion regarding my prob with my boss, they ask me to retain and wanna give me increment. i said i want rm700 and they like "waa.. that's too high.." and lower it to RM500 and still the feel like that's too much. i said firmly at least i want RM500. then the result was positive
