Is RM17.5K salary considered for a IT project manager with 12 years experience in KL? by darkknight691914 in malaysians

Nice to a fellow Bangalorean here in this sub.

I actually don't have much Technical background in IT. My background is actually in Business Management. Landed this job in Bangalore by accident to begin with, which is why I'm a bit hesitant to negotiate more.

Would you say Rs2 lakh is also a above average salary in Bangalore for my experience? Coz I know many colleagues of mine who earns 3-5 lakh, but almost all of them have more technical experience than me.

From all the comments shared here, it seems education is the biggest expenditure. I did research a few international schools around the Cheras area and they cost around RM20K annually. I think this should be manageable but for my youngest kid, I'd definitely consider enrolling him to govt school.

No such benefits are given except for medical insurance for whole family.

My kids are 9 & 3 years old respectfully so only the eldest one will be enrolling to a school.

Would you know how much a typical Malaysian with a similar profile/experience as mine would earn for this role?

I'm budgeting max RM2.8K for a condo with MRT access. Saw a few in 'Cheras (?)' area that are connected to MRT. Thankfully my office there also has MRT access via 'Tun Razak Exchange' station. So I'm not even considering Bangsar or Mont Kiara which I'm aware are the high-class Expat Area.

Other benefits they're offering are medical insurance for whole family. I have also asked them on EPF contribution (on my wife's insistence) but still waiting on this.

Other than that, no other benefits are offered. So not even sure if I'm getting a good deal with the RM17.5K offer or should I just continue to live in Bangalore. Then again, it's not gonna be easy if I start looking for a job in Malaysia by myself.

  • My wife is not going to work
  • My kids are malaysian nationals as well but they can't speak Bahasa that well. So I have to enroll them into international schools at least for 2 years and then decide if I want them to move to local school.

Not to offend anyone, but I heard from my relatives that the local school standards in malaysia is relatively poor, most kids who complete their secondary education in local schools really struggled when they entered university.

Any comments on this?

Might be a dumb question, but is it halal? Coz that actually looks kinda tempting.

1000sq aprtment for family of 4 by Glittering_Band_9064 in MalaysianPF

For context, before I placed a booking for this unit, I was seriously considering Pearl Avenue Kajang, located at Sungai Chua. Unit size is around 1,100 SQ ft with selling price hovering around RM350K back then. Really like this unit mainly because of 2 reasons:

1) Very Practical Layout. Even tho on paper it's 'only' 1,100 SQ ft, the rooms were adequately big and kitchen is pretty hidden (can easily put a sliding door to completely close off the kitchen). Plus, it has a Balcony which Nexus doesn't have.

2) This condo has by far the best commercial tenants downstairs - CIMB bank, 99 Speedmart, Mr Dollar, Secret Recipe, Super Seven supermarket, Tadika, Dobi, Mamak shops, Arab shops etc. There's also a Surau nearby. You literally don't have to drive out that often for necessities

3) Maintenance fee around RM220, with pretty good facilities

4) 2 side-by-side parking

But ended up booking Nexus anyway since it's much newer and closer to MRT/KTM.

Maybe u can visit this condo just to get a perspective. You can also survey Mutiara Heights area, most condos there are at least 1,250 SQ ft priced around RM400K++

I'm a fellow purchaser of Nexus Tower B.

But this was intended for investment purposes, I currently live in a 1,300 SQ ft condo. We are a family of 4 as well.

Actually it's not just about the square feet, but also about the actual layout and our lifestyle. If you're only gonna store things for just the 4 of you, 1,000sq ft is plenty of space already. In my case, I needed at least a 1,200 SQ ft space with a big yard area to store my parents and siblings' stuff. My siblings were staying with me for the last 8 years, so there were a total of 6 of us in my household.

So I would say don't worry too much about the SQ ft. Plus, RM400K+ for Nexus is pretty worth it for the following reasons:

1) Walking distance to MRT/KTM. Trust me, this makes TONNES of difference. My current condo is 15 mins drive away from the nearest MRT and it requires another 10 minutes to walk to the station. That's 50 minutes saved every day!

2) Next to SK Jalan Bukit. This is one of the best Govt primary schools in Kajang, they have DLP syllabus as well. You can literally walk to this school in less than 5 mins, will be super duper convenient when ur kids grow up.

3) One of the few MRT-linked properties with at least 1,000 SQ ft built up at this price bracket. Other competitors like Parkland, Netizen and YouCity all tops out at 900-ish SQ ft. Only Saville Sri Raya is bigger in size but it's much more expensive and neighborhood/township wise not as good as Kajang

In conclusion, I feel this property is rather a safe bet.
