Are you in the big4 firm? Any other industry has better offer? for Degree/ACCA Finalist with around 2years experience.

Definitely a very good career for a starter with 1 year experiance, high paid & good opportunity.

How about telling your current job? And qualification?

Can I know which location you working? I think is the time to consider switch job, even trainee should at least RM1.5k. Forget about the written promise, even though your increase is written in appointment letter, the boss always can not to increase your salary.

The salary is consider competitive for freashie which without working experience. You might have a try and see whether can cope or not, if the you can resign it at any time.

Then what your current company and job?

Good point! But need to sacrifice about 1 year of extra few hundred income.
Hope you be doing great in future.

Probably can demand higher after the recession. Seen you with experience.

My friend, I failed 4 time in ACCA Audit Paper, I got 48/49 mark few time. The 5th time only get through. ACCA unlike those degree program. You are taking an external exam. Not well prepare mean 100% fail. Well prepare not mean 100% pass, only 50/50.

Unless you are one of the genius group. Or a book womb, do nothing but study!
Malaysia ACCA passing rate only around 25%.

Think again!!

Yes, after ACCA you are one of the top in accounts/finance sector. Nothing is imposible on your career path.
Even the world passing is about 40% only.

Sure you can work in oil & gas industry, almost all company need finance or accounts department to process their transaction. You can be Finance or Accounts Executive/Assistant or Costing/Manufacture Analyst.

Accountant must be a MIA member (Malaysia Institute of Accountant) and must with 3 years working experience in order to qualify be a member of it.

Accountant are professional protected just like doctor. Can't simply call someone if not a member of it.

Accountant sure are not fresh graduate. Salary from 3500 up to 10k or more.

Then you must an employer with big expectation to employee....
staff must be hardworking but take less salary as possible, better just take pocket money

Like a cow, Moo....

Can't believe that on 23 years old with 1 year experiance can earn RM6k++, must be 1 of the genius.

Padini need any Accounts staff?? Currently I'm Accounts Executive, whether any Finance Executive/ Accounts Executive or Finance Analyst in Padini, sure I will be interested.

Even most Accountant dont have RM6k

But actually in accounting line, you work for 10 year still just >RM5k. (of course not accounts manager/accountant lah)

Some more you think 3 years experience Accountant can demand >RM6k ah??? Don't even said if working experience less then 3 years (not a qualify accountant some more)

Currently average accountant are getting RM5k with reasonable experience, I mean normal accountant, not those extraordinary case
in those listed Co. or MMC that afford to paid RM8-10k. (don't misunderstand again ok!!)

Of course which the Co. will sudden give RM6k for non manager position? At least the raise and paid are above industrial average.

Anyway with the experience and age, the Co. are really really really paid above the industrial average.

Totally agree, with very few year of experience, certainly no one will give such paid. Unless you are a genius or scientist that help the company to development.

Or you can work in oil & gas industry offshore, then u can earn 5-10k USD. But the working environment are suck.

Shop assistance will highly depend your responsibility and daily turnover to judge your salary. As I always see most shop assistance are watch movie, online or play game while working. Do you think like that can demand high salary?

As most of them just expecting to look after the shop only, nothing else. If you show something good that able help the business, then sure you can demand higher salary.
