In this post, I will be sharing how you can check the salary report in Malaysia and also why you should do so.
Where to check salary report?
Have you ever wondered if your current salary is what you should be getting? Or, you are underpaid or overpaid?
You can check the salary report in Malaysia on JobStreet.com. This tool provides useful information based on real data entered by JobStreet.com users.
Additional information includes qualification, location, industry, age and the years of experience of the user.
Why you should check salary report?
These are the reason why you should check the salary report:
1. Compare your salary
This report provides a guideline for those who wish to know if their salary is within the normal range.
Who doesn’t want to know if the salary package they are receiving is similar to their counterpart in other companies?
I believe we all wish to know that.
If you found out your salary is much lower than what the market is practising, probably it is time to ask for an increment.
Else, you can start looking for other opportunities that are willing to pay you according to the market value.
2. Look for other opportunities
Perhaps you are eyeing other opportunities in other industries. This report is a useful guide as the data is based on information entered by its user.
I would say, the report is of quite high accuracy and reliability.
So, use it to see if the opportunity you are looking for is also able to give you the money you are looking for.
3. Guideline for fresh graduates
This report also can help fresh graduates to plan the expectation of their first paycheck.
Instead of simply pluck any figures from the sky, in which some time can be either too low or too high. This report helps fresh graduates to put a proper expected salary based on the current market situation.
Final thoughts
So, go check out the salary report yourself. Don’t be surprised to see some big figures for some roles such as Sales Director.
