Working and balancing in life

It has been a while since the last post, and I could not just have the time to write lengthy post. As such, I would just write a short one.

With a job in life, it will keep you preoccupied instead of being unproductive and we get monthly wages(which is an important factor in most of us). 

In this blog as well, I must say that being a public worker is suitable for some. Like some people, they tend to just follow the standard procedures long before they were in the system or in the organization. Thus, for those who want adventure and challenges while working, then go for private sector. If you are thinking otherwise, you might opt for public sector (with the exception of critical courses and some schemes which require you to work beyond normal working hours and task load).

With the current economic situation (the year of 2017), a starting salary of RM 3,000 per month (including allowances) is a must because it is too costly these days to buy basic groceries, rental houses and transportation costs. Everything seems to be on the rise, but not much on the annual increment of the working salary.

The recent article by Jobstreet stating a starting salary of RM 6,500 is just beyond my comprehension. Only Schlumberger and Proctor and Gamble PNG would consider RM 5,000 as its starting salary.

Also, I am not sure which companies give out RM 6,500 to a fresh grad who has little experience and technical competencies.

Unless, you are planning to work overseas, then a foreign exchange note might be relevant considering that earning 1000 pounds equate to RM 5,000 per month. Countries like UK,US,Australia and Singapore might hit that RM 6,500 monthly salary benchmark.

As far as I know, only certain organization offers a starting monthly salary of more than RM 4,000 to fresh grads. They are:

-Petronas (RM 4,000+)

-Schlumberger (RM 5,000+)-last time when I was a student, always heard this 5K for Schlumberger.

-Shell (maybe)

-Png (RM 5,000)-according to a career professor of Ukm on youtube video.

-Bank Negara (maybe RM 4,000+)

-LHDN (RM 3,000 without allowance, RM 4,000+ with allowance)

Hope this might hold its truth.

I am not sure about other MNC's or GLC's like UEM, SimeDarby, EPF, Khazanah and the list goes on.
