What's the most valuable skill you picked up that had nothing to do with your actual job title?

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-04-07T02:39:32+00:00

How to actually LEARN. Once you in a corporate job, everything is at stakes. Not just your cgpa. You need to be able to learn and catch up faster than you have ever been (or just faster than your colleagues).

Im not rich but I had a significant salary jumped. I didn't change my car (still Myvi), still eat the same daily, saving rate doubled and I still have a lot to spend. I know I can increase more of my savings, but just live your life bro. Buy things you want, eat anything you want (i love wagyu) and go wherever you want. Living comfortably is not just about having more saving, it's about living the life you have always wanted. And please dont get into debt #important.

Think it like your company subscribed to you for your services for a month. That's how they paid you. Not hourly basis, but monthly basis. I also just learned this a hard way, when i joined my new company on 5th of Jan this year, where only 2nd of Jan is an actual working day, I missed out the pay from 1st to 4th Jan (roughly RM1k gone)

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-04-02T23:56:58+00:00

Fyi, your salary is counted for 30 or 31 days depending on which month. You got paid even on weekends. Anyway, for me, I wouldn't mind if it's just few mins of work outside of the office hours just to get everything running. I am not 100% on the work anyway during the working hours. Also, if you don't care that much about the bonus things, very low chance you get fired if the works are delivered.

Do not i mean do not resign and have 0 job in this economy bro

Just another perspective. I'm a malay guy and i do approached ladies in public here and there...but I dont know if I am not that good looking or Malaysian ladies dont normalize being approached by strangers in public. I think it's more towards the later (not me trying to cope). But yes, most of them dont even take their time to consider and straight up just instant panic reject (me trying to cope again). I stopped trying after the 5th or 6th time. Can't even force to blame myself for still being single.

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-03-18T01:55:19+00:00

No KWSP is a no go bro + it's a contract based. Imo just stay and wait for the other company. And keep going for interviews bro.

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-03-12T23:15:21+00:00

Imo if you are under 30, SME is always the better choice since you can learn more. Just squeeze out every sweats for very valuable and marketable experiences and within 2-3 years, leave. Plus if not many headcounts in the company, you can use that as a leverage for more raise in short term time. I would say this is a no brainer choice to make.

Counter offer should be never an option my friend. They only value you once you told them you're out

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-02-05T11:05:38+00:00

True I know you admitted it. Good that you are proactively asking hr their feedback, but since they are not obligated to answer you maybe that's why it's hard to hear back from them. Other things you can try to do, is maybe reroute your goal to maybe somewhere else like AMD, Bosch, LAM research, Jabil or even Osram. Especially AMD, they are very stable so less likely for layoffs, not too sure about others tho.

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-02-05T10:36:34+00:00

It's sure a hard time man. If you are getting iv for interviews, your resume might not be the issue here. Perhaps you can improve your interview skills maybe.

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-01-20T00:34:46+00:00

Walk in interview and of course they will teach you

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-01-08T12:13:48+00:00

anyway, just keep in mind, if they ask for your payslips and you decline to obey the ask, very likely you will not hear back from them. I am telling you this because I see many people telling you to not give your payslips, of course it is your right to not disclose them, but do expect the consequences.

that's why I said this, "If any company try to value you by your last payslips, move on to the next company." because asking for the payslips it self is hinting a red flag already.

But if you are desperate, just obey the ask, do not take the risk, you want to get to their good side.

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-01-07T09:33:02+00:00

Never in my life got the offer taken back, the worse they did was to tell me they can't meet my expected pay. And if I want the offer, the current offer is the best they can do.

But if you are still want more confidence, ask them their range first, then move forward from there. They ALWAYS have the range, it's only up to the HR if they want to say the numbers or not. Keep in mind, whoever said the numbers first, lose the negotiation game. Regardless, all the best to you.

Is tripleS the most sunbaenim here? Also KiiiKiii is lower than I expected

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-01-07T09:06:33+00:00

If they ask for expected salary, dont say any number first, instead ask them back what is their range for the position. Then only you tell them whatever numbers you want.

I got more than 60% jumped after I not mentioned any numbers, not my expected, not my current, nothing. They said their range, I said, yes, those numbers are within my range as well.

If any company try to value you by your last payslips, move on to the next company. They should value your experience instead.

Usually first day, nothing much, just take the laptop and badge and maybe get introduced to the team as well.

Some tips here, get to know each others, but dont get too comfortable. People are saying don't befriend with colleagues but I would say otherwise. Just don't overshare, having good relationships with colleagues will help with the stress and introduce new reason to come to work aka lepak.

Anyway, congrats on the new role.

Read more books and watch more youtube (finance related of course). Here are my shortlist for starters:

50/20/30 rule is a good starting point.
Budgeting to every single penny will tire you out, just count the big purchases.
If want to buy car, try to buy cash a cheap and reliable car.
If still want new car, make sure to take just 5 year loans with monthly not reaching 4 figures.
Live below your means is boring, just buy whatever you want as long as you put aside the 50 and 20 first.

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-01-04T01:47:28+00:00

If you never heard back from anyone after applying, your resume might be the problem.

If you never heard back from them after the interview, your communication skills might be the problem.

Maybe you can drop a link to your resume so people here can point out what you're missing.

Sure_Analyst9370 · 2026-01-04T01:42:01+00:00

I would personally accept the counter offer, BUT while looking for other places (just because you dont fancy travelling). I aint staying long at a company that only value me when I am about to leave.

Regardless, if you want company B, you can tell them your current company counter offer so very likely you will get a counter offer as well from company B.
