A netizen recently commented that comparing Malaysian pay to American pay is depressing because higher-ranking employees in Malaysia earn the same as fresh graduates in the United States. Another netizen noted that working for a Multinational Corporation is preferable whether you’re a graphic designer, digital marketer, or in the tech industry.
Another trend is that many qualified Malaysians are migrating to Singapore in search of greater wages and a better quality of life. Granted, the cost of living is higher, but the higher salaries compensate for the higher prices. In Singapore, working as a waiter will get you at least RM3,300 per month.
Another user stated that they used to work as a contract worker in New York and earned a good living. They were able to pay for a housing, food, and travel while performing a customer service job with the money they earned there. However, Malaysia is not without its positive aspects: our cost of living is among the lowest in the world, and our quality of life is good.
