Cost of living in KL varies depending on the type of lifestyle you’re looking for and where you intend to live. Eg. Mont kiara would be much more expensive vs subang which is more affordable

Having said that, I have colleagues who used to work in Accenture KL and they have said that pay is much lower than MBB there.

Having worked in an Asian country as a management consultant, a hard no. Ill hink for 10 seconds if they are paying at least double my current pay and say no

That's true for NE Asia but hardly applicable for SE Asia like Malaysia and Thailand.

Is 15000 ringgit a good benchmark for downtown lifestyle, no car, and still can eat out every day (food is cheap in hawker centers anyways)

15k a month - you can definitely have a good life, income tax is relatively low so take home is a good amount. Think nice apartment with gym and pool, eat out everyday, and you don’t really need a car to get around as there’s the equivalent of Uber (Grab, Airasia etc). You will definitely have enough for travel especially with budget flights to Bangkok, Bali etc.

For reference, ~RM15 for hawker centre meal plus a drink, ~RM50-80 for a nicer meal like Korean bbq, Japanese food etc

Hi all - Soliciting feedback on comp for a new role.
Last role was an engineering manager at 185k, 10% bonus, RSUs, paid healthcare.
The first offer was a bit underwhelming. I'm trying to think of creative ways to respond with a counter offer. Offer is 150k base with 10k bonus, no equity or stock, and insurance premiums are a bit expensive. Base and bonus are what I have to work with. Initial thoughts were to give a hard "no" and continue interviewing.

A report opened to me that they are having money problems and wants a raise. We are remote and they moved to a high CoL city. We gave an increase to help with retention 6mths ago. In my response, I helped mentor with best practices on how to ask for a raise professionally since I need to make a case to my Head on finances. But their performance has been avg and not seemingly worthy of another large raise within a short period of time. But how do I respond when they talk about personal finances?

We are a FIG platform, so the knowledge required is relatively unique as well and not as easy to google as corporate transactions. Is there a better way to coach the analyst short of just throwing them in the deep end to figure it out or should we wait for them to ask us for help?
