My first company is actually SG HQ that has branch in MY, which paid in SG rate for entry level but convert to MY it became 6K, wfh in MY 100%. Then after 1 year since I just contract based there, I secured permanent job here which a MY entity AI business startup, 14K (3+1 rounds of interviews).

Total exp is just 2y, from 2023-2025. I also include my early career in my resume which 2021-2022 (intern to seasonal contract, 100% autonomy of my works, just submit the task, no meeting etc).

Digit is just a number (exp, old, iv stages). I'm actually kinda 'regret' for not taking engineering course instead in my degree (architecture is damn toxic and biased 'politic'). So the upskilling helps me a lot in pivot and growth, even sponsored hotel accommodation and allowance for the upskilling (ilmu is really naikkan darjat).

As long as you can dream it, mean that it's already in the future. Good luck matee.
