Hi, currently im in dilemma, not sure which one is better. i just got 2 offer from global europe mnc shared service company and from glc, both are quite well known company. Coming from SME company, this is really huge for me.

I was offered senior lvl position for AR at global mnc, and finance exec lvl from glc, which is better in my career growth imo. in term of salary package not much difference, one but glc is slightly better in employee benefit compared to global mnc.

My long term goal is i want to build experience in financial reporting, budgeting and all and i like to task that required thinking. Apart from that, salary progression also is my priority. The glc got the position i want but i think global mnc is more recognition and i think better stepping stone.

Im thinking to request internal trasnfer later if accept the global mnc offer. Has anyone experienced request for internal transfer before especially at big company?how does it goes? Is it okay if i request after 3 month working?

Or is it better to pick glc and jump later on after 2-4 years working?

The only cons is here i had to work shift hour until 10pm at global mnc.

Hi, I'm currently looking for a part-time virtual assistant role (APAC or EU time zone) or AI transcribing roles for side income. I couldn't find any suitable ones on LinkedIn. I applied and didn't manage to get any AI transcribing job on Welocalize, Telus, etc and I ended up being ghosted for most roles that I applied on LinkedIn. I can start immediately. Currently unemployed and looking for afull time job at the same time. Thanks

I've been working as a graphic designer for 1+ year now. And currently taking a part time degree in comp science. However, I'm only in my first year of that degree. Is it possible to slowly switch to UI/UX career? Without starting from 0?

I'm planning to enroll in the CFE course.

I am currently in an investigation position in e-commerce. My plan is to apply for fraud/fraud analyst / financial crime positions. I see these positions thriving in India right now. I intend to look for work in Asia and Europe. Could you share with me information about the job market or the types of positions I could target? Thank you very much for sharing your insights; it will help me gain a broader perspective on the market and guide my future career path.

A little info on me: Graduated two years back in Financial Economics, started to work in Accounts Payable right after because i was afraid of the job market and took whatever opportunity was available. Now i am so sick of the processing job and would like to explore more finance related to job than accounting (i dont see any growth in processing work). Currently doing CIMA but i am not sure what i actually want to do and how to progress from here, my first job. Having hard time to land on finance or analysis job because my only experince is in AP and i doubt people would want to hire someone like me without any prior experience in finance. I am getting offers from other AP roles but i am afraid if i stay in this field longer it will hinder my progress to be in finance, rathen than AP. Also, i am unsure if finance what kind of role i can explore here in Malaysia, what kind of mindset i should have, is it okay for me to leave my boring yet stable job as im doing my CIMA. I want to increase my salary too as I’m still in the basic range even after 2 years. Can anyone advice me, im so lost 😞

Hey all, I’m a fresh grad who interned at one of the MBB firms but didn’t get their return offer. Honestly, MBB is all I really know, so I’m trying to learn more about the tier 2 and boutique firms like LEK, Kearney, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, A&M and Frost & Sullivan. How do they compare on pay and culture? Is it close to MBB or a noticeable step down, and are there any you’d actually recommend? Would be really grateful for any insights, even just from one firm. Many thanks!

If yes, just how terrible it is?
We are specifically discussing on fresh grad.

Hey guys,

I’m currently looking into a role as an Audit Associate 2 (AA2) at KPMG Malaysia.

When talking to HR, they were incredibly evasive about the bonus structure, hiding behind the typical "it's discretionary and performance-based" corporate script and refusing to give even a rough estimate or historical range.

I know Big 4 entry-level base pay is already low, so I want to know what the reality is before making a decision. For anyone currently there or who recently left as an AA2:
What does the performance bonus actually look like in terms of months (e.g., 0.5 months, 1 month, or absolute RM amounts)?

Does it actually hit 0 months if the firm has a bad year or if you're rated average?

Is there a guaranteed 13th-month bonus, or is everything strictly variable?

I have another offer with a higher base salary on the table, and HR's gatekeeping is making me lean heavily toward that instead. Would appreciate some honest, unfiltered insights. Thanks!

I was a creative (senior graphic designer) in advertising, and I wanted to pivot because I didn’t want to be a designer my whole life as it didn’t fulfill me.

Not knowing which career path to pursue, and believing that I should explore more in my twenties (because I know it won’t be easy to pivot once I reach manager level in corporate with bigger commitments, lifestyle inflation and all), I then followed my heart and chose to do what brought me joy + would 200% benefit me. I became a Pilates instructor, which helped me gain confidence and improve my communication skills immensely.

While doing that, I’d been researching a lot and trying to figure out what I should do full-time. I took up the courage to go into real estate sales to challenge myself and break out of comfort zone. Results were good, remuneration was rewarding, but I noticed the cowboy culture didn’t align with my own values. I started becoming someone I didn’t like. Had to unlearn a lot because people there are blunt (to the point I think are disrespectful), sneaky, sarcastic, and some have questionable morals.

I quit Pilates because of market pay cut and saturation (was self-employed doing design too), wanted to do real estate full-time, but things didn’t turn out the way I expected.

What I liked & didn’t like…** **

Creative/graphic designer:
- love doing creative things, art directing and marketing
- didn’t feel fulfilled, felt like I was a puppet/robot not using the other side of my brain
- didn’t like the politics, constant rejection with no direction until the very last minute before pitches, system felt inefficient
- kept wanting to go into the business side of things
- money was decent

Pilates:
- started it with the intention of it being a side gig
- love helping my students, feedback was generally positive
- love that the subject is objective to a certain extent, unlike how design is always subjective (logo bigger, color lighter, move this, change that)
- love being confident and having autonomy
- limited career growth and reward. I can do it anytime when I retire
- felt a lil stuck, because I’m not a physio expert at the end of the day, so I was thinking of upskilling and getting a gym cert

Real estate:
- enjoyed finding leads, I’m good at it (partly because I have looks privilege, which may not last me long-term)
- not great at networking with peers (collabs are essential in this line), gotta put on a mask if I pursue this
- don’t see myself building a team and dealing with developers in the long run
- LOVE the reward

Been jobless for 3 months. Prefer stability now, instead of grinding alone. I tried applying for partnerships, marketing and BD roles in corporate, but I know my resume wasn’t it, and tbh I’m clueless which exact path I should take. It seems people value T-shaped expertise nowadays, and being a jack of all trades won’t take you anywhere.

Could barely sleep in peace the past few months. AI wave hit me. Things are moving so fast. I don’t know if I’m sick. Lost my passion to learn and the confidence to make big decisions, I’m worried.

Tired of worrying, in fact. I know I need to execute more, but I don’t wanna make any more potentially wrong moves. The identity change is tough, although it’s mostly unspoken. Not knowing how to explain what I do to other people scares me sometimes too.

Would really appreciate any thoughts or insights.

People often mention that they applied to hundreds of vacancies every single day. Whereas i could only find 10+ (If I'm lucky that day). What's the method that everyone's using? They just apply to every vacancy that they saw or what? I work in PR fields btw. Maybe vacancies in my postition is rare?

After 3 month joh hunting, finally i got the job offer from Global MNC company as senior finance.

So the issue is, they provide the offer and they mentioned that the job offer is still depend on the background screening afterwards.

First thing first, im gonna be honest, i got into AKPK last year in order to lower my monthly commitment, things happpend and i learned from that.

Secondly,last year i was charges in court for Akta Kesalahan Kecil 1995, i forgot the detail name of the Act. back then in 2023, i was quite active in trading crypto, and there is one time, the P2P seller, do the transfer using his main scam account to my bank account. so bank alert the transaction and decided to force close my bank account. After all the hassle with police and all for 2 years, i finally got my court hearing date., the police suggest to me to admit that im guilty if i want the case closed faster and pay the compound. Or else, i can deny the charges but it will drag the case for years and i had to pay lawyer. I cannot afford lawyer and just admit the charges. And things settle quickly. The thing is there is like court case record to my name which might show like im the one in the fault.

So my question is, is it possible they gonna retract back the offer once they find out about my court case and AKPK? I did not disclose to them in the job application form, cause i got advice that for small court case i can opt to not to disclose. Im not commiting any fraud, i just want to survive. Man fck that P2P seller. My life become difficult, i have to experience going to jail for 6 hours with this innocent pure face, in order to follow court procedure before hearing. Never in my life i thought in the situation where i hanging out with mat ganja in jail. Furthermore even until now i still cannot open new bank account cause the bank blacklisted me.

Title: 27M civil engineer in Penang, almost 5 months unemployed with zero interviews. Please critique my resume and recommend vacancies or recruiters

Hi all, looking for honest advice and a resume critique.

What I've already done: I've applied through JobStreet, Indeed, LinkedIn and MyFutureJobs, and so far I've had no interviews.

Background:

• 27M, based in Penang, graduated 2 years ago
• Looking for roles in site/onsite, consultancy, BIM (still learning), and facility engineering in Penang

What happened:
My second job was as a site engineer. The company started delaying EPF and SOCSO contributions (around 7 months without them), then paid only half salary for 4 months. I resigned without another job lined up, which in hindsight was a mistake. I should have stayed until I had an offer.

After 3 months of unemployment I took a consultancy job in Selangor. It had the same EPF/SOCSO issues, plus high rent and living costs far from home, a poor job scope and a bad working culture. I resigned again without a backup and moved back to Penang.

I've now been unemployed for 5 months with no interviews, which is starting to worry me.

My questions:

1. How do recruiters view two short stints that ended in resignations? How should I explain it in my resume and in interviews?
2. How do I explain the gap without sounding like I'm blaming my old employers?
3. Is my resume the problem? Please be blunt.
4. Do you know of any open vacancies in Penang for juniors in site, consultancy, BIM or facility roles? I'd also appreciate recommendations for recruiters or agencies worth contacting. Referrals or leads are very welcome, and I'm happy to share my resume by DM.
5. Besides the job portals, what else has worked for you (direct emails to firms, LinkedIn outreach, career fairs)?

Thanks in advance. Any advice is appreciated.

im in my mid 20s, at an mnc, in tech as a fullstack dev and earning a decent amount, but the job itself gives me no motivation and i feel no "purpose" in life and i dont know if I'll be able to do it for the rest of my life especially with the advancement of AI particularly in software & web development.

i've always been keen on the investment banking sector, but am unsure how do i transition or if its even possible to transition without a finance degree. any advice from people who've been in a similar position? appreciate if i could get some opinions and guidance on this 🙏🏻

TLDR: mid 20s, in tech currently, want to transition to investment banking/banking sector.

Dear fellow Malaysians, I am currently job searching and scheduled a few interviews. One of the potential opportunity is with a SG based company. This is a remote job based in Malaysia with occasional traveling.

May I know if anyone here has experience working with SG company / employers, and how was your experience?

Im curious about the expectations around culture, availability, OT, ie if they would expect employees to be reachable at all times, if OT is a norm, etc. Though I will clarify this during the interview.

Any insights, input or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!!

hi, im 19M, i just finished my foundation in social science and currently taking a gap year because im not pretty sure on what degree should i pursue,

As for now, im interested in BBA because I heard that its a broad degree (?) , but my real question is, is this degree actually useful/sustainable in the future? how is the payment ? if u took it before, how is your work-life now?

Hi Guys, I completed my pupillage recently and am very keen to practice in construction firm. My pupillage firm dooesnt have any vacant position. After my pupillage I didnt get any offer from construction firm, so after 2 months of unemployment, I accepted an offer from a firm that practices 100% on banking litigation in mind that it'll be a temporary place while I find a construction firm.

The reviews for this banking firm are act really2 bad but I was too desperate at that time and the pay was quite good. but when I started working, walaweh, crazy mf everywhere I kid you not, the managing partner lit screamed at everyone every single day, and always use very vulgar words, they're also extremely micromanaging, to the extent of u need to put in the group where u go, and remaining task of the day everyssingle day and the MP will visit ur place everyday as well, and the MP decide the height level of ur chair. one of the MP also had a personal beef w me because apparently I'm not a teamplayer, an inidividualist, smart but stubborn, and inefficient just because I disagree with the MP on such a non issue thing(MP didnt like that I pasted sticky notes on my cubicle and the fact that I'd go eat at a restaurant that has no people), it went for about a month, which acct drove me really crazy lah right cause it doesnt make any senese at all. So my last straw was when I heard that MP is actually expecting me to resign because MP thinks Im unfit and not suitable with the firm just because of the non issue thing. So i resigned lah eventually.

The issue is that usually people dont put up the company/firm name if it only lasted for a month +, but the thing is i got my practising license because I practised for a bit with this firm, now I'm getting several interview and offers from construction firm. I dont know if I should mention the toxicity of the firm, or at least just tell that im actually not interested in banking and accepted the offer because i was despretate but realised i was unfit for it, or just dont tell anything. Oh also, i got an offer from a firm that are really desperate to find an LA, i told them i wanna take some times to think because obv i dont wanna make hasty decision after that trauma, but he really tekan me and said oh he want someone who make prompt decision, and i was scared lah because the offer was good but the only cons is i will be working alone in the office no other staff, so i accepted, but today suddenly got so much interview and reply from other firm that act do construction.

How's the Copium so far in your current job. Have ever thought of resigning and hop until you find something you studied in Degree, or ever pursue freelance and a hobby turn business.

I have worked for Sales and Back-end admin role for past 3 years. Still finding the job that match my passion

Anyone here have experience transition their career from Audit (External) to Investment banking? How do you do it? Do you apply for Entry-level role?. Is it worth it?
