Hi All,
I'm James, I'm from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Today I've received an job offer from a Malaysian Company for the role of Sr. Software Engr. I'm in a fix on what I should do. That's why I am posting this with a hope that you'll be able to give me good advice on this.
Currently my role is also sr. s/w engr with salary of 5900RM/month in BD (Take home salary). This Malaysian Company has offered me 9000RM/Month (Not take home salary, need to deduct the tax). Is this a good salary for a sr. s/w engr. I've 6.5 years of XP in software development. Personally I'm interested about this job since it'll give me a chance to work in a different country with better standard of life. But I've become really concerned after reading various posts from this forum.
In BD I am able to save around 2700-3200RM/month. Will I be able to do so? For now I'll go alone. And after 7/8 months I've plan to bring my wife. Will that be possible?
In terms of various things related to COL, here's what I think
- I'm interested on a single room. It can be in the suburb provided it has good transport facility
- Main transport purpose is to goto office and return. Office is located at Damansara
- Not interested in cooking. Probably gonna buy food
- Internet is required, TV not interested
- Basic utilities
- Interested in gym and swimming pool
- Very basic cell phone user
- Watch movie Once/ Twice a month
- Not interested in sharing room or such
Given the above avg. requirements, how much it would cost me to live a normal life?
The company has agreed to pay for my visa sponsorship, air fair, medical insurance (after the probation period) but not for my wife. Is this normal or varies from company to company? If I take my wife with me after couple of months, will she be eligible to work?
Is it unsafe to live in suburb?
I'm so confused. Should I take this opportunity or skip it? Please help me to make a decision
Thanks
