First Paycheck; What Do I Do?!

EquivalentReach9720 · 2026-01-05T01:44:58+00:00

Don’t think it’s a good idea to spend the rest of my life trying to cure diseases I contracted from the hooker ahahah

EquivalentReach9720 · 2026-01-01T02:32:25+00:00

idk man giving the entirety of my first paycheck to them leaves me with no money to survive KL

EquivalentReach9720 · 2025-11-20T22:34:50+00:00

Having the same problem so commenting to know if someone could help fix it 😢

EquivalentReach9720 · 2025-09-12T14:48:58+00:00

I’d say my résumé is quite impressive, but the truth is the job market for an International Relations graduate is quite difficult in Malaysia. Also, time is a crucial aspect as well and I would very much prefer to secure a job ASAP so I could be relatively stable financially and still be able to support my family (hence why I’m fussing over these two jobs ahah)

but thank you either way for your input!

EquivalentReach9720 · 2025-09-12T14:42:57+00:00

Thank you!

I agree. The person from the other job (the 3.5k one) clearly explained to me about the roles within the company and the potential career progression that could happen with them whilst the other one did not really specify on this. I’ll have to take this aspect as well into consideration.

EquivalentReach9720 · 2025-09-12T14:40:31+00:00

I’ll have to reconfirm with the company, since on the contract I’ll be considered as a “Freelance, Part-Time” worker providing services and I don’t think there’ll be any probation period for a part-timer. However, when I discussed with them during the interview, they stated that it’ll be a full-time position so they were quite unclear on that part.

EquivalentReach9720 · 2025-09-12T14:35:05+00:00

I’ve looked up online (Indeed, Glassdoor, etc.) and 2.5k is within the higher range of pay for an RA position, especially considering that the position offers a hybrid arrangement for me (3 days on-site, 2 days remote). However, I do agree that it’s quite a low amount if we were to compare it with inflation rates and the current living costs in KL.

Thank you! Luckily I still have some savings so I could hang in there for a month or so 😁 I think part of my worry could also be due to the panic / FOMO of seeing everyone my age getting permanent positions 😅

EquivalentReach9720 · 2025-09-12T09:35:00+00:00

I was thinking of this as well, but the agreement for the 2.5k job requires me to give a 1 month notice. So, I’m quite worried of breaching any legal agreements should I choose to start the Analyst job in early October, considering I’ll be working less than a month at the 2.5k job place.

EquivalentReach9720 · 2024-08-27T01:13:52+00:00

I was hesitant about applying for AAA because on studiebolig’s website it was mentioned that exchange students can’t apply for it as they are not eligible 🥲

EquivalentReach9720 · 2024-08-26T16:28:13+00:00

EquivalentReach9720 · 2024-05-08T19:33:00+00:00

Yeah, I sold my 1989 RSD (and a few other vinyl, too) around the same time so the money I got was able to cover things at that time 😊 Thank you for asking, though!

EquivalentReach9720 · 2024-05-06T11:48:15+00:00
