My point of view of web designer position in malaysia

Ecece tajuk bukan main.
Tp saje la..mana la tau ada yg google n nak some info before menceburi bidang yang telah i tinggalkan selama hampir setahun? Before i totally forgot the experiences in this position, let me share with any of those who might need this tips. I have been in the industry for 8 years before.

Lepas ada umar and my last job, i still doing some web projects from home until early of this year i decided not to do any web projects anymore simply because im tired to stay up at nite. Im old. Im already 30 turning 31 this year. Huhu

So for now i only focus on my ig shop which is relaxing, fun and not so stress. Biarla duit ku x byk mcm dulu janji x stress, tak sakit belakang, n tak gain weight.
I didnt gain weight anymore. Haha sbb if do work late till nite means i need snacks and food in between time to retain my energy.

But not until last 2 weeks my prev client contact us back to continue the last year project.
They stopped the project last year so we thought they dun want to cooperate with us anymore tp tetiba dtg balk n need the projects siap asap.
So this 2 weeks, i eat alot, sleep late and really2 tired by end of the day.
The lack of sleeps n all.
N tomorrow i have to ganti puasa no matter wut sbb da plan kan.
Tp sehari je la. Lagi 2 hari aku bawak ke minggu dpn. Naseb la 3 ari je lagi. Fuhhh

So here my points after 8 years in different kind of industries with the same web designer position.
Bear in mind, i joined this companies before: pharmaceutical company, advertising agency, local malay company as well as online food directory company.

- u have to always update your skills no matter wut. Learn from youtube. Read alot of on9 tutorials and practise. Practise make perfect. I learn alot of tecnical stuffs most of the time just by read online tutorials.
- web designer is a balance of technical and design. 1 can never be good at both until i met my ex colleague who is super duper genius good in both technical and design. He's not malaysia citizen btw haha he's from uk. I always go waaaau and huwaaa everytime i see his artwork. I heard his salary is near 10k. Mine is half than that when the last time i resign from my last job haha. (That was 2 years ago.)
- if u choose to work in agency, you really need to push urself more on design parts coz they love someone who is creative and have alot ideas. U need to know how to present ur ideas by anytime and give ideas as much as can. They love creative people. Lebih merepek lebih baik haha. And if ur english is good is a bonus it will be easier for u climb up the ladder. Seriously english is important in advertising agency. N always b prepare a day before. Sbb bila creative director ko tetiba panggil suh bentang idea dpn staff...mampos! Kenangan manis kjr kat advertising agency adalah dapat g concert michael buble free walaupon hanya 2 lagu dia je aku tau. Time tu buat project MAS tu yg dpt ticket free. N sila la sentiasa maintain good relationship ngn bosses. 
- be humble all the time tho sometimes u think u r rite most of the time. Haha even if u think u have better point than ur boss or clients, it doesnt matter. Be humble and when ur turn comes to speak, u speak with confidence and present ur ideas well.
- pharmaceutical company will offer u high salary if they think u deserve for the position. So if u got job interview at pharmaceutical company, nail it! Tu belom macam2 benefit dorg.
- kdg2 kjr web designer ni dah macam copywriter bm and english depend la website apa ko buat, pastu dah macam data entry n dah macam programmer sikit. Most of the time mmg byk kjr picisan ko knr buat. So thats y ko kena demand gaji tinggi2 ye adik2... Sbb nanti bila kjr byk ko gak marah. At least pas kjr stress2 boleh la beli byk baju online shop kan haha. 
- buat dengan ikhlas. Kadang2 bukan part ko pon ko buat je. The reward will come afterwards. Sometime xya mengharap apa2 balasan or kenaikan gaji pon kalau ada rezeki adalah. Sbb KNOWLEDGE and SKILLS tu precious sangat2. Yg part tu ko boleh demand masa next position. Or u can startup ur own company. Or do websites for ur own business. 
- ALWAYS give more than it should. Speed and quality are equally important. I think that apply to any job in this world hehe.

I guess thats all. So for my client nye project ni nak taknak aku knr hadap gak. Mata aku da berpinar2 tp aku tahan je. Untuk orang yg dah 2-3 tahun tak ngadap wordpress tp masih boleh godeh2. I dun have the passion anymore. Lagi2 baru ngadap sejam dua umar dah hokhek nak susu. Nak teruskan wean off proses minggu ni terbantut la. Nak tenangkan emosi anak karang emosi aku yg terganggu huhu. Sumbat je la kasi dia diam. Tenteram sket nk buat kjr kan.

Harap entry ni membantu untuk sesiapa yg nak jd web designer kat malaysia ni.

When i grow up i want to be a ......... (Sukati la umar janji kjr yg baik n diberkati) hehe jadi laki sng sket. Nak jd apa pon boleh. Kan? Pompuan lepas beranak in doubt kena pk family dulu. Buatla decision terbaik untuk family memasing.
