This is the obligatory and somewhat masturbatory post to commemorate
my first paycheck in my second job – RM 1,820. :) I’m a System Engineer
and I do mostly stuff related to networking (no, I’m not a network
admin) and programming. Basically, what I do is related to distributed
network systems, I can’t say much more than that really, it would
reveal which company I’m working for since there are not many players
in this line of work.
I get to play around with all sorts of lovely electronics and
basically develop solutions for enterprise level clients (which the CTO
reviews before deployment), though the company is pushing into the
lucrative small business and other associated markets. My apologies for
being vague, I really can’t say what industry I’m in since there’s not
many companies doing this and I want to preserve my anonymity in
Kuching.
Anyway, about my salary, I get RM 2,000 per month (base salary) – RM
180 goes to EPF (KWSP) so that’s RM 1,820 take home. My employer
contributes RM 240 using the 9/12 EPF formula so that’s RM 420
automatic savings per month. I love EPF, didn’t have it in my first
job. I work a six day week (half day on Saturday) but that just means
there’s one less day to waste money. That also means I make full use of
Saturday nights to Party Hearty (TM). =D
Oh wait, I can’t TM that, it was already in Simpsons. “Sorry dudes, party hearty equals tardy.” ;)
Ohh very much thanks admin
I love when you talk about this type of stuff in your posts. Perhaps could you continue to do this?
I know this is really boring and you are skipping to the next comment, but I just wanted to throw you a big thanks – you cleared up some things for me!
I have found a great deal of very good content on your web site. I will definitely be back again for lots more.
Dont believe who even if its absolutely free fails to entail that its fine! When you are thinking about the numerous different options around a person, never ignore ours.
