Hi all,
I'm currently based in Indonesia (on a spouse sponsorship visa as my wife is Indonesian) and am looking for jobs in SE Asia. I recently got an offer for a Postdoctoral research position in Malaysia. They are offering RM 6000 per month. However, I'm hoping I could get a better deal if I negotiate. I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience negotiating a salary in Malaysia - are there any particular cultural things I should be aware of, for example? Also, the university is near Ipoh, in Perak state. Does anyone know what the typical accommodation and living costs etc are in that part of the country? I will ask the university as well but just wanted some extra input. Would appreciate any replies!
