A Malaysian’s honest sharing about career growth has recently struck a chord with many netizens.
He revealed that he managed to grow his monthly salary from RM3,500 to RM15,000 in just seven years by job-hopping.

Not a top student, but still made it work
In response to a trending topics on Threads about being a “top student,” the user @s3ij0h humbly admitted he wasn’t one—but still had a story worth telling.
Despite scoring 5As in UPSR, 7As 1B in PMR, and 7As 2Bs in SPM, he doesn’t consider himself among the top scorers.
After graduating from Universiti Teknologi Petronas with a CGPA of 3.27, he entered the working world—and that’s when things started to pick up.
Salary jumped from RM3.5k to RM15k in 7 years
He revealed that over the span of just seven years and four companies, he successfully increased his monthly salary from RM3,500 to a whopping RM15,000.
His tip? Switch companies—but make sure to gather as much knowledge and experience as you can at each one, and get certified along the way.
