Working hrs: 8.30 am - 5.30pm, alternate Saturday-off (just started this year, b4 this working on every Saturday).

This is my first job after graduated, and went into this company as a salesperson (basic + allowance = RM1300, can you believe it!!??). First 2 years was tough, but after i found a couple of big customers, life was good, manage to earn around 6k a month.

Then came to forth year, lost interest in sales, backside itchy approach my boss and got transferred to a newly developed marketing dept. Got stuck with my current salary.

There are more stories to tell, maybe i would continue later.

Btw, am i really underpaid? my boss is a nice guy, but loyalty can't feed me and my loans. Should i go? I got a degree in E&E and finishing my MBA soon. Sighh.....
