I am torn with my next move now, I worked in Singapore with a EPC Contractor who specialize in the niche market. I am contract staff to my current company and my contract is ending on end Oct 10. The possibility to extend or renew my contract is ZERO as we don’t have any new project on hand.
Now, I got an offer to work at a mining project at Gebeng, Pahang with 18-24 months contract (goggle abit you will know this is our great government's stimulate economy package, a RM 1.2Billion project). The offer is not bad as they offer me 50% more compare to my current pay. Further more I need that exposure and portfolio as a stepping stone to get into oil and gas industry.
If I take that offer then I might need to scarify my quality time with my wife and 2 kids, a 3 yrs old boy and 5months old daughter for the next 2 years. My wife won’t quite her job and follow me to Pahang due to her heavy personal commitment.
If you are in my shoes would you accept the offer? Or just turn down the offer and continue to explore for other opportunity??
What would you choose?? Family?? $$$?? or $$$$ to buy more watches
side kick abit, i am quite suprise on Malaysia tax structure as i need to contribute 26% income tax if my annual income hit RM 100k. i never contribute any income tax before for the past 6 years during the time i worked in M'sia (Ya, i am cheap labour
). I did some rough calculation and realize that I need to contribute a IWC Port to our government if i choose to work in Pahang.
