Another Salary Expectation Question!

Hi All,

It’s me again, so I found a job and an offer for Assistant Project Manager position is in the process. We are still discussing salary packages.

What salary range should I be expecting at my level? I'm a British guy from UK.

Factors to consider:
- 3 years of experience in construction as design lead, position offered is Assistant Project Manager
- UK construction company, with office in KL
- Now have a high standard of living (London)
- Current salary is about £3k, pretty normal for my level here in UK (don’t know if this is relevant)
- Not married, no children, but don’t really go out partying. Drink once in a while
- No mortgage to pay, but I do want to save up for future home in UK
- Might share accommodation with someone

Don't mind compromising on standard of living/lower salary package in Malaysia as I'm pretty damn keen on the move.

Hi 15k. Enough to live off. 10k is the lowest possible. For your job level 15k would be ok.

Is there a young malaysian lady involved? 7 out of 10 times there is.
