    such a solid guide for fresh grads! Totally agree on the part about setting up an emergency fund early and starting small with investments . The mention of the 50/30/20 rule is gold-simple yet so powerful for budgeting . Also, love how you broke down the importance of investing in yourself, like gym memberships and credit scores. Small steps, big impact .
    Quick question tho-what's your take on digital banks for emergency funds compared to traditional ones? Would love your insights! 🙌

    At the moment I try to save RM 500 per month. RM 400 to low risk investment such as ASB, money market fund etc and another RM 100 for commodities such as gold to ensure diversity in my current investment portfolio. I believe the most challenging part is to build discipline and consistency for saving and investment 😅

    2 cent for the folks, whether you're young or old, consistent investing is the key to success. Think of it like paying rent or a mortgage - a regular commitment. Once you make that mindset shift, you'll see the results sooner rather than later. Consistency is crucial!

    Insightful video indeed. To add:
    1. Average increment (same company) in Malaysia is around 3% -10%, you can have an idea if you are in a good company that offers that.
    2. Average increment (job hop) in Malaysia is around 15% to 25%, demanding sectors like IT, engineering or finance can definitely gave out 30% or more.

    Job hopping in tech in the early career was beneficial for me, it adds 20% - 30% increment from my RM3100 starting salary. My goal was to hop every 1 to 1.5years. Some of my seniors who are in 12K - 15K salary bracket seems to have stopped hopping because they bought a big house. Otherwise, if you're 4 to 5 years in IT(coding/testing) job and if your salary isn't 9K above, I think its a lil slow, at least for the current economy. Plus, you get to learn how others performance, and other industry works as well. So go for hopping, you can gather years of exp later once you have secured big pay.

    Hey Ziet, I rarely comment but I've gotta say that you're a solid dude! I will be graduating in a month and I have already secured a great job. This video couldn't have come in a better time. I like how your content is tailored to the Malaysian experience and it feel like eveything you've said is directly applicable to my situation. I especially appreciate the nuance points you made that hardly anyone mentions, that is, YT premium, a gym membership, and a great partner. I 100% agree with you, thats why I have successfully secured them all buahahaha! Anyways, thanks.
    Also, I'm looking to get a credit 3 months after my job begins. Mind helping me (us) out with that?

    In 1975 as office boy in a private sector starting salary was RM250-00 a month . ( In 1975 its a reasonable sum) As a photography fan with my first salaryI went to Jln Bandar (now Tun HS Lee) and bought a Catridge Film 110 Camera Brand Fujica Camera size like a remote. Costs RM120-00. I think that small road turnning left to the flower stalls then was Jln Cecil and the popular Hotel Malaya.

    Regarding the investment link insurance, I had subscribed for PB Max Advantage for about 5 years when I started working. Like you said , I do kind of regret it as the return has been subpar. Not sure if I should minimize the loss by cancelling it and invest the amount in other places, or let it continue for few more years. Kind of in a dilemma.
    By the way, I am also a Mechanical Engineer graduate. 🙌 cheers

    Hi Ziet thanks for the video, much appreciated. Have a quick question, how did you transition over to investment banking with a degree in mechanical engineering?

    • @ZietInvests
      @ZietInvests  День назад

      Hey! Just to set the record straight, i wasnt an investment banker, just that the line of work and the skills/knowledge required revolves around the investment banking role! Long story short, my ex company (an independent power producer) gave me the option to join either their technical (engineering) team or the commercial team, which i went for the latter!
      Both of the choices still involves engineering knowledge, since commercial agreements and financial modelling still requires basic understanding of a power plant/thermodynamics etc (before we can even calculate, decide on any commercial aspect)

    Hello Ziet
    Im a noob guy that just started learning about investing and looking for advices.
    For context, I have applied ASBF for 150k so at the moment i have RM158 843 in my ASB. I have around 5k that im planning to put into investment somewhere at the moment.
    Just learned about S&P 500 and planning to put the 5k into S&P 500 ETF. Apart from that, I will have around RM 473 to put into invesment every month from my salary after all deductions including the ASBF. These are my few questions :
    1. Should I even put the money into the etf or just stick to putting all of my invesment into ASB.
    2. If i should invest in ETF, can u suggest any shariah compliance ETF that I should use that will be suitable with the RM473 i have for my monthly investment.
    3. Should i DCA in or just do lump sum. If DCA, what amount should i put in monthly for the 5k.
    4. what % of the monthly investment money should i divide between ASB and ETF.

    • @ZietInvests
      @ZietInvests  5 дней назад +2

      Hello, while they are not "bad" financial products per se, their returns are usually much lower compared to standalone investments like ETFs, since a portion of your premiums goes towards insurance coverage and fees. Can read up on lowyat forum about them too!

    I would like to disagree just a little bit regarding job hopping.
    In your 20s, don't worry about "over hopping" in your job career, with some caveat.
    If you job hop every 1-2 years in your 20s, it is very common nowadays. Just be sure you know how to answer the obvious question of "Why did you leave your last 1-3 companies?"

    • @ZietInvests
      @ZietInvests  День назад +1

      Hi, in the big picture both MF and UT is rather similar, save for some structural differences which is rather negligible, my main issue with them is their high management/upfront fees which will eat up a chunk of your potential return (if even any), hence why i would suggest for starters to progress like this:
      Cash > Fixed Deposits/Contribute EPF voluntarily > Money Market Funds > Index ETF investing (super low cost)
      It doesn’t have to be done 100% on either one, it can be a mixture of everything with different allocation to them
      PRS- suggest you to hit up investopedia and read about it, long story short, subpar retirement vehicle (like a forced savings, probably worse return than FD) but with a slight benefit of offsetting your annual tax deduction, but thats about it. Overall i dont feel the opportunity cost is worth it (just my 2cents)
