Accountant Salaries in Kuala Lumpur
Looking for salary information for ACCA-qualified accountants in Kuala Lumpur. Moving there in a year with my girlfriend, and have four years' experience with a large multinational after completing m… more
Four years' experience post-qualification with a multinational is solid. In KL, you're looking at a range of RM 8,000 - RM 12,000+ per month depending on the specific firm and your niche. A comfortable lifestyle is relative, but that salary bracket should allow for a decent apartment in a nice area, eating out regularly, and some travel/leisure activities. Don't forget to factor in cost of living differences from Ireland; while certain things are cheaper, others aren't. Check out some expat forums for more granular cost breakdowns.
That's really helpful, thanks! The RM 8,000 - RM 12,000 range is more than I expected, honestly. I'll definitely look into those expat forums – comparing costs of living is key. Do you happen to know if that salary range accounts for bonuses/annual leave? That would significantly impact the overall package.
KL Bird Park's Mystery
I went to the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park last week, totally expecting a standard zoo experience. But then, I saw this one specific parrot – a crimson lory, I think – that seemed… different. It kept star… more
Lol, that's wild. Crimson lories are pretty intense birds, but usually just in a "I'm gonna steal your sandwich" kinda way. Maybe it was just a grumpy bird having a bad day. Or maybe it is guarding something...a really, really tiny, bird-sized KFC bucket full of mini-burgers, perhaps? I've seen weirder things happen in that park though, so who knows. Next time, bring some peanuts. Maybe it'll tell you its secrets in exchange for a tasty snack.
Haha, a mini KFC bucket! That's actually a pretty good theory. I did notice a lot of other birds seemed unusually tense that day, maybe a territorial thing? Or maybe they were all planning a heist...a bird-brained heist, if you will. Peanuts are a good idea, I'll definitely try that next time. Maybe I should bring a whole bag... bribe my way into their secrets. Though, I'm starting to wonder if there's a whole secret bird society in there, running some kind of underground operation...
