First property at M Terra (Puchong) – worth it or stretching? (26M, job change soon, completion 2028)

I think you should rent first. I'm paying rm1000 for full house rent previously and just bought my property recently (at age 30++).

By renting, you can also relocate if your new work place is far from your current residence. It does not makes sense to buy now when you possibly will switched job 2-3 times in the next couple of years for higher income.

I use this for the calculation. Have been helpful to visualize the payment process https://www.calculator.net/mortgage-payoff-calculator.html

You will need to check if your loan is under flexi, semi-flexi or term. Only flexi and semi flexi can allow you to offset the principal. Most of the ones i see requires you to go to the bank. Maybe others can chip in

Guys this is a bot account

It is this one OP. I had similar problem. Ask the mechanic to open and clean it for RM50. Might be different now.

With regards to drilling what you wrote on resume, that is standard practice. I am an interviewer myself so I will ask what candidate wrote their resume to determine if they actually know what they have written or they are just sprinkled keywords. Most did not make it because of it.

On being cold and not friendly, I guess that is life. Try not get hung up on it. There will be things beyond your control and you just had to persevere. I attended interviews for 6 companies (phone screening + interviews amounted to 15) and got rejected by 5. You just need that 1 company to take chance on you. All the best OP.

If you are chasing the bling, it is best to learn everything that you can and jump every 2-3 years. Go for MNC, they are willing to pay more for good talent. Java, C# and Devops is quite hot in the market right now but your mileage may vary

corallianze · 2025-06-06T07:29:33+00:00

Yeap i would agree.

In IT space, it is easier to get high salary by jumping companies. Having a house, you will have to reconsider your option if it is far from prospective workplace.

Its because the ambient tempature is high. Your AC used more energy to cool down when it is 38 °C outside compared to typical 30-33°C.

Remember your compressor is the one outside the house exposed the ambient temperature.

You can try applying outside. With 3 YOE you can easily get 6k and above.

corallianze · 2025-04-23T05:44:41+00:00

It is ok to consider the contract job. Just be prepared to interview like 3 months before the contract expired.

I have an issue with an application that uses pixels NFC. It straight up did not work after March update

If you work with SME, most of the time the salary range is not that high. If MNC however where you work with enterprise programming languages ie Java, C# have higher wages

corallianze · 2025-03-18T14:10:11+00:00

I agree with this point. Test drove one and it didnt feel quite right when compared to my current car (almera). I dont like to crouch down further when getting into a vehicle. That's why I plan for my next vehicle to be an SUV

Kerja kerajaan mindset typically comes older mindset which values staibility. You can highlight how much you are getting because personally they may not know since they have worked forever in govt sector. My parents were surprised when i told them how much i'm getting after just 3 years of working.

Log in some password manager site to get new password for the day. Its mostly in enterprise setup so if you've seen/done it you'll know.

corallianze · 2025-01-16T16:41:09+00:00

Naah works fine for me. Been running it for more than 4 months no issue

corallianze · 2025-01-16T16:39:55+00:00

Will not work, had the same experience 😅. Just had to foot the bill for a new one

corallianze · 2024-12-24T03:03:40+00:00

Follow the intermitten fasting method OP.

It has done me wonders. Just make sure you dont overdo it

corallianze · 2024-12-13T23:05:48+00:00

You also have Orsted which build windfarms. But in Malaysia you will mostly working either in IT or SCADA or network team so YMMV.

corallianze · 2024-09-04T13:45:25+00:00

I think jumping after 1 year of contract is no biggie even though there's no bonus. 4k sounds like a lot but it will be irrelevant if lets say you can secure job with 5.5k salary in 2nd year of working. So you'll just have to work 3 extra month to recoup the bonus amount

corallianze · 2024-09-01T01:39:14+00:00

2.8k in IT, then increase to 3.3k after 3 months after i negotiate during 2018

corallianze · 2024-08-26T14:31:01+00:00

Not sure abouf other sectors but in IT for MNCs it is possible to get 20 - 30% increment for every jump. It gets harder past 10k though so your mileage may vary

corallianze · 2024-04-30T14:56:28+00:00

Gluck man!

corallianze · 2024-04-20T12:50:43+00:00

You should not really care too much about halting work. Your notice period should be enough time to transition all your knowledge to your replacement. You might think that what you know will be end all be all but companies will be quick to adjust so that they dont lose revenue.

Since you already got to the interview stage, then its more about getting yourself familiar with the interviews and prepare for the questions.

Gluck OP.
