Hi everyone,
I am in serious need of help. Currently I am working and residing in India and I have a job offer to come and work in Malaysia.
I am not sure what should be the salary I should look forward to.
To give an idea, I am having 5 years of experience in IT, software field. In India, below are the high points to consider :
- my current in hand salary - in Malaysian doller : 4666 ringitt per month.
- I own a car and drive daily to office , spending almost 400 ringitt a month on fuel.
- I pay quite a good rent as per standard, for a 2 bed room apartment : 1000 ringitt per month.
- and other expenses must be another 1500 ringitt.
So I am able to save around 1500 ringitt here.
Now the salary offered in 7500 rignitt per month which looks quite less to me, as the cost of living there should be on the higher side than in India.
SO my question is of how much a 5 years guy earn at most in Malaysia being in software? and is this a good salary which I am being offered ? I always expect that when I switching a job and for instance changing my base location, I should get a good raise. And the last thing, I already have an offer in India for 7500 rignitt per month, which is what offered in Malaysia as well. So I think I can ask for more.
Thanks.
