Malaysian Salary Gap

Nak tergelak kite tengok 1 company Malaysian-owned yg famous ni dia offer gaji RM2,000 jer utk jawatan as junior auditor. 🤭Company buat untung berjuta2 setahun, bayar gaji staff seciput itu?? Sampainya hati. Macam mana nk survive dkt tengah2 KL ni kalau gaji cuma cukup utk bayar sewa bilik, travel & kos makan. Saya ni tak payah menyimpan ke bang? Aduh..dah masuk 2025 pun masih ada company2 besar yg ambik kesempatan atas fresh grad ye. Bawak2 lah bertaubat! Paling2 bagi la gaji RM3k ke atas

Haritu ada fresh grad datang interview dkt company i. Her IV was OK, she carried herself well. Nampak boleh buat kerja BUT PLOT TWIST dia ialah, her expected salary is RM3,000 guys!! Honestly, I was SO SHOCKED! Her working experience ada dua je. 1 as intern for 3 months, and another is kerja dkt company pak cik dia for 6 months. Apa pendapat korang? Dia layak ke nak mintak banyak tu?? FYI, our iklan stated salary is between RM2.5k-RM3k bagi yg ada pengalaman 1-2years.

Salam everyone! I know my question is going to be a bit sensitive but I'm so curious! For those yang selalu tukar kerja, boleh share tak berapa banyak gaji korang naik every time korang tukar company? Kalau rasa segan nak share numbers, bagi percentage pun okay! Doesn't matter you tukar kerja from big or small companies, I just nak tahu whether the increment that you get worth it tak dengan kerja yang you kena buat? Dari segi workload, work-life balance, job satisfaction etc. Thanks in advance!

Soalan gaji: Until when kita boleh lompat2 company and expect gaji akan naik each time? Will there be a time that our salary hits a plateau & susah nak naik? Asking because I nampak banyak org bagi nasihat kalau nak dapat gaji RM10k before 30 years old, you must tukar kerja every 2 years. Then after 30, I can still use the same formula to get more or it's no longer applicable? I'm M28, currently earning RM3.8k, and hoping to get RM10k before reaching 35 years old. TIA for your insights! 🙏

Serious talk! Korang yang gaji RM5k ke atas tapi umur baru nk masuk 30-an ni korang kerja apa sebenarnya ek? Kadang2 aku nampak org share NGL dkt twitter gaji sampai belas2 ribu pun ada tapi muda lagi. Ke korang ni menipu je sebenarnya? Aku umur dah cecah 34 pun gaji baru RM4.5k..level senior exec je, jauh lagi nak sampai level manager. Nak berangan gaji sampai RM7-8k tu agaknya lagi 10 tahun baru dapat kot. Ke sebab bidang aku marketing gaji lambat naik? Share sikit pengalaman korang.

Hi, I’m a fresh graduate, so I’m still new to the working world and don't know much about salary. I was offered a job with a RM6k salary. During the interview, when I mentioned my expected salary was RM6k, they responded by saying, “Can it be RM4.5k basic + RM1.5k allowance?” and I agreed. (Continue in comment)

Hey guys i just nak asking la kann umur 24 years old ni dikira muda ke? Sebb i background admin for 2 years 3 month , i can say that i ni fast learner and very punctual type of person .. haritu i ada pergi iv and the interviewer said that i still young utk diberikan salary sebanyak rm3k and dia offer i 2.6k ataupun 2.4K .. korang rasa Okay ke i yg tinggal dekat kl ni..and jobscope dia banyak juga.but Its not the main problem sebb i willing to learn new thing and all.

Hi, i just nak validation tentang kesedihan i haha. i takfaham kenapa sesetengah company publish range gaji EXAMPLE: 8k - 10k then u letak expected you 8k. maksudnya takmintak lebih pun. bila interview and company only offer 7.2k. if you talk about experience wise, maybe the person tak good fit untuk that role but still the person akan buat kerja sama dngn orang yang you akan hire 10k? so where is the logic and company dh mmg allocate persetujuan 8k is the minimum why suddenly kurangkan...

I regret choosing environmental science for my degree. It was my passion but in Malaysia, passion doesn’t pay. We spent years doing fieldwork, research, and lab work, only to end up with low-paying jobs and limited opportunities. Meanwhile, grads in business or marketing start with RM3.5k+ salaries. If you’re a student thinking of taking this path, think twice. Unless you become a policymaker or consultant, no one values your work here. I wish someone had warned me earlier. 😣
