Highest Paid Jobs in Malaysia According to Jobstreet
A recent Nielsen survey based on the jobseekers in Malaysia showed that when it came to choosing a job, salary is their most
important consideration. Well, this is no surprise as we do not choose a career that would not pay well after putting so much effort and money into the studies. Of course it should match our interest, skills and passion as well.
It is important to choose the right course so that you do not end up with a job that does not pay well after your studies or even worse, no job. Students should do some research to find out if the course that you plan to choose would be in demand after you graduate.
The salary of the job should also be taken into consideration as you do not want to spend 4 years or more studying a course and come out to work with a low salary or job prospects.
JobStreet.com's study, the first job site in Southeast Asia to have introduced the list of top paying jobs for fresh graduates and experienced personnel, was based on salaries posted by employers on JobStreet.com from Jan 1 to Aug 31 2013.
Job Street came up with a list of jobs with the highest average salaries across all position levels based on the salaries posted by employers on JobStreet.com from 1 January to 31 August 2013.
To further help candidates gauge whether their salaries are competitive to the market JobStreet.com recently did a study to find out the Top 10 Highest Paying Jobs in Malaysia. The Study Showed That Most Jobs In The Top 10 List Tend To Be Technical Or Science Based.
The study shows the top paying salaries for Fresh Graduates, Junior Executives, Senior Executives, Managers, and Senior Managers. For students who do not understand the difference, upon graduation, your first position is as an Executive level (degree).
After that, you will be promoted to Junior Executive, then Senior Exec, Assistant Manager, Manager, and then Senior Manager. The time taken from Fresh Graduate to Senior Manager level could take from 6-10 years depending on your skills.
It is important to note that if you have a good command of the English language, communication skills, leadership skills and initiative, you will be promoted faster.
Fresh graduates can expect to get an average salary of RM2,100 per month. On Average, JUNIOR EXECUTIVES Can Earn A Salary Range From RM2,100 To RM3,900, With The Average Being RM2,800 Across All Industries
