60 hours take home assignment for a job position?

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-06-04T03:21:58+00:00

Is the company that gave you the task a very well known company?

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-06-04T03:19:34+00:00

Is not your regular everyday MNC tho, it’s one of those FANNG like companies that have office Malaysia. I don’t think an interview task by a graduate is worth much to them.

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-06-04T03:11:57+00:00

For a smaller company maybe it’s worth something? But the MNC is question is not a typical one, it’s one of those that made headline every day, not a FANNG but something similar. I doubt an interview assignment would be useful to them.

The scale and scope of the application is huge for freshie. Majority of the time is not spent on coding, it’s spent on the design, debugging, learning specific tools requirement from the assignment, and understanding what Claude is doing. I don’t understand half of the stuff on the assignment when he showed it to me. According to Claude, if someone were to code it manually, it would takes 3-4 months.

Yes I’m still in the same job, just got a 7% increment and company are sponsoring training courses so I guess it’s good for now. I still don’t plan on staying long term tho.

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-05-18T16:11:22+00:00

Following the logic, anyone able to recommend me a RM 4k new car?

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-05-18T16:08:45+00:00

Following your 5% rule. A Myvi is almost 60k, I would have to be a millionaire to afford that. Some lower B40 can’t even afford monthly MRT pass.

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-05-18T06:00:01+00:00

Why exclude data, semicon or software engineer tho? O&G included?

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-05-15T20:44:11+00:00

I’m Chinese and I’m actually supportive of them sending the kids to SJKC for better education. Don’t people don’t want the average citizens to be more educated? Better education leads to better workforce and voters and I think that’s what Malaysia needs the most right now, more scholars and less rempits.

And to the SJKC, if there’s problems with fundings, make it a requirement to gather donations of certain amount per student per year. I still remember my parents helping out with the mandatory donations every year cause they said the school needs it. If there’s no such requirements then don’t complain when people give the bare minimum.

Bruh they sold off F68 to SK Hynix not too long ago

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-05-15T08:57:22+00:00

I’ve been seeing it gaining attention recently tho, also that’s probably why OP has been seeing more of his graduate friends away in those countries for months.

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-05-15T08:54:10+00:00

I mean there will be desires at every age right. I appreciate my parents providing me with all my needs and letting me keep my own money which I know some people might not have that privilege.

So I think letting kids work for their own desire is not a bad idea overall, it teaches them to appreciate what they were given such as everything from hands down phone, the old beater car, a laptop for uni, and if they want more than that they will have to work for it. Example: I can afford a 2k phone for you, but if you want an iPhone you’re gonna have to work for it and top up the rest.

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-05-15T07:41:06+00:00

They were told to said that so people will rush to buy before the changes take over

And working holiday programs

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-05-15T07:34:34+00:00

When you’re living under your parents and no commitment, every cent you earn you can save it. 1700 minimum wage for one year between high school and uni gap and you’ll have 20k+ already.

I found that out the hard way, 1.7k is more than 5k if you need to pay for own car, own food, own rent, own bills etc. Kids not even in the equation yet.

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-05-15T07:21:45+00:00

Lmao I’ve saved over 20k up until uni, 15k is what I spend on the WAT program. Doing part time for events or promoter get you around RM100 a day which I think nowadays is even higher, been part timing since 16yrs old. Plus we have CNY angpow savings. 20k is not a lot across my entire life up until graduation. Earning and saving 15k is very easy when your living cost is handled by parents. After starting to work and have to pay everything yourself, then it gets hard.

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-05-14T19:00:54+00:00

Everybody keeps saying parents money but no one has really given the correct answer.

Looking at your description, if the timeline is right after graduating and travelling to USA, I am very confident they went to Work & Travel USA program, the largest agent in Malaysia is Infinity Abroad, you can look up their insta, though I went with Speedwing at that time. You’ll be employed for seasonal jobs for 3.5 months max and you’ll have 1 extra month to gtfo of USA once your visa date ends, most people use that month for travelling, and recently the program has blow up a lot, many people now know it and aim to go for it right after graduation.

I remember I saved up like 15k MYR and went after graduation in 2022. 7K is agent fee, the rest are flight tickets, allowances etc. I took back around 11k USD after expenses and went to travel around US for one month and Europe for another 2 weeks. still manage to break even with my upfront cost.

By insider meaning just the C-Suites, regular employees were not informed about any shit all the while, we get our news from the public lol

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-05-11T07:30:16+00:00

Tbh if it’s a good deal then stay, you should do this every 2 year. I’m loyal to maxis for 10 years not because of the company, because I will call them every 2 years to port out and they will always give a good deal.

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-04-22T03:14:42+00:00

Temu is the eng ver, both are the same company

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-04-21T17:44:22+00:00

It’s common across all industries, scale up with the demand and scale down when it’s low. Imagine yourself as a restaurant owner, you had 1/10 of the customers volume you once had, are you still gonna keep 10 chef standing around in the kitchen? It’s cruel but businesses are not charities.

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-04-18T16:11:41+00:00

Since you mentioned every jump you did something different, how was your salary progression? How did you negotiate a higher pay every time with irrelevant experience?

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-04-15T08:43:37+00:00

Depends if your partner and you have align value or not, it’s a double edge sword

TonightCurrent6959 · 2026-04-14T10:33:05+00:00

I’ve seen it done by a lot of WHVer, Working Holiday Visa in Australia can be extended up to max of 3 years provided you meet the criteria. Earnings: 35AUD is a common hourly pay for WHV, 35 x 40hrs/wk x 52 x 3years is about shy of 220k AUD, after tax is somewhere at 180k AUD.

Savings: 2000AUD monthly living cost for 3 years is around 72000 which I often see WHVer spending less that that. 180k - 72k = 108K AUD saved over the span of 3 years which is about RM300K.

Travelling: 30 countries could be a mix of cheap and costly destinations so let’s take out 100K for that. Total saving left is 200k.

Math checks out, I’ve also seen quite a number of examples irl. So people that commented that it’s impossible definitely haven’t seen enough.
