Unfortunately I decide to take up the R&D Engineer post as that's where my interest lies. Another reason for me not to take the DRAM offer is because, I am married and I am not willing to relocate for 5-6 months to Melaka. I told them that I have to turn down their offer for this particular reason and ask them to contact me again once they shifted to Senai permanently next year. Must be dumb not to take this offer.

If you are a fresh graduate, not recommended to go MBA with little experience. MBA courses are mostly group discussion based, with the lecturer being the facilitator. How are you going to contribute your knowledge when you never manage a subordinate or a client before? Better gained some experience first. Even after you graduate with an MBA, it doesn't guarantee an increase in your salary, unless you graduated from a top tier MBA school abroad and join a multinational company.

MBA = Master of Business Administration
BAT = British American Tobacco? Not really sure myself
MNC = multinational company, eg. Intel, Seagate, AMD, IBM, HP, and many more....I hope you knw these company's abbreviation!

I thought lawyers are sure rich profession??

Well anyway, I guess everybody starts from the bottom

Is that after deducted the tax? From what I know, taxing there can be up to 50%

That's not really a lot, IMHO - compared to UK, Swiss graduates.

Don't think anyone going to win in this debate. it will go on and on with no tail end. I myself involved in this kind of oversea salary talk with friends before. each have different opinion. have to respect each other differences. No right and wrong.

still i personally prefer msia.
