Re-nego salary after signing offer letter

Jack234 — Fri, 16 Feb 2024 09:14:56 +0800

I have accepted an offer with 30% higher pay compared to my current job in January. Before the new company give me the offer letter, I have negotiated the salary during verbal discussion and they have agreed to my proposal.
Last week another company offered me few hundred Ringgit/4% higher than the accepted offer. Should I renegotiate the salary with the new company to match this offer? Would the new company retract the offer if I nego again?
I am more keen on working in the new company as the career progression is better.

CFP

Jack234 — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 00:44:30 +0800

Hi, I'm currently a Bachelor of Finance and Investment student year 1.
I have taken the CFP Module 1 last year and pass it.
I'm thinking whether I should take Module 2 or not.
I did some reading on the Internet and found out it is actually a quite common professional certification where many people got it.
Initially I was very determined to take Module 2, but all of my friends that pass don't want to continue anymore. They hearsay people take CFP to sell insurance.
My question is, what are the specific area CFP will help me in my future career, let say I'll be a financial advisor or in other finance related field.

My plan is by the time I graduate, I will have an professional certification which most of the undergraduate don't have. Then I'll enroll in CFA, which I know it in very different level compared to CFP.
Thanks.

Business Administrative/Marketing/Economics

Jack234 — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 02:06:28 +0800

I'm studying in foundation in arts now, I've sit for around ten subjects.
Among the ten, I like economic, marketing and business environment the most.
I've studied statistics and accounting too, but I don't like the calculations and the theories.
So, I will choose my degree based on that three subjects.

I love to solve problems, not the science problems, but the real life problems
Like for example, I want to know what cause the Malaysia economy going downhill, what product to produce to solve the daily activities problem.
Besides, I like to plan events.I've planned and carried out two major events with my team in secondary school. I like the process, planning the event, booking the place, budgeting and so on. When I face challenges, I can think of many ways to overcome it. When the event goes smoothly, I will be very satisfied.

I don't like to calculate things, not hating it though. 20% in my works is okay.

So, which one should I choose?
Please advise. Thanks in advance.

*I've read from an article that logistic & supply chain management is going to be very important in the future.
What you guys think?
