Hi All,

I am currently in India working in IT sector.
I have been offered 10K RM per month by a company in Penang.
During negotiations, they have also verbally offered to provide Job for my spouse.
My Current CTC : 7300RM in India.
My expectation is to come to Malaysia and search for good paid Job may be after an Year or so
Would this be a wise choice to move from home country to Malaysia with Spouse and 1 Kid(10 Months)
I have experience working in Hot skills in the IT industry right now
The Point of Job offer for my wife is really a driver here as she wants to work and this will be break for her
Please guide or advise

Hi Archer,
Its been 8 months for me in Malaysia , and trust me 10k a Month is a very nice salary. Here 3k to 5k is enough to Run a small family. My suggestion , do accept the offer and come to Malaysia. A few tips before you proceed.

1. Never enter Malaysia with a visit visa and then try to change to Work Visa, your visa calling letter will be provided by the company and , you have to apply direct work visa from Malaysian Embassy in India.

2. There is no service fee involved in any point of transaction with any one in terms of job offer or visa endorsement.

3. Start looking for accommodation now itself. some of the websites I used to search accomodations were

Cheers and welcome to Malaysia.

Don't move if you do not have a job at hand. You may be short changed when you get here . Negotiate everything upfront then come. Spouse employment is not guaranteed even if they verbally say it. Your wife will have to find her own unless she is a top graduate and there is a demand for her.
