10500RM is good salary?

Hi All,

I got offer from IT company in Malaysia, Cyberjaya Selangor location. They are paying 10500RM per month. Is this sufficient salary to survive ?

Secondly how is work-life balance in Malaysian IT companies?
Third, what are the nearest places to rent home in Selangor area? What is the monthly cost for renting apartment?

Are there vegetarian restaurants in Cyberjava location, as I dont eat non-veg food?

If i want to bring my parents along, for how much time they can stay with me. Is there any visa/time constraint?

1. Yes, it's a reasonable salary* - may be able to save about half if careful with expenditure.
2.  Usually its a fairly tough work environment but sociable lunch hours for example
3. Plenty of accommodation in Cyberjaya
Check for pricing options on www.iproperty.com.my
4. Always veg options but not necessarily at a fully veg outlet
5. You can apply for a Social Visit Pass (Long Term) for your parents - check it out in this guide https://esd.imi.gov.my/portal/pdf/TC-ES … r-2017.pdf
