candidates’ salary expectations
It is not uncommon for Malaysian employees to look around for new job opportunities, even when they have a stable job. However, job seekers should note that employers tend to hire candidates who demonstrate a certain level of loyalty to their past employers over those who switch employers every two years.
Candidates and employees in the construction industry are also aware of how the market’s growth has declined over the past couple of years, and its implication on the labour demand and salary averages.
In 2020, we anticipate that employees who stay with their employer will receive an annual salary increment of between 2% and 7%. Construction professionals can expect a salary increment of up to 15% when changing employers.
