Most Popular and Sustainable IT Brand up to date

Kalau kita tengok berita lately banyak pelaburan luar negara masuk ke Malaysia seperti Microsoft, Google, ByteDance, Intel, and Amazon Web Services mostly dalam bidang AI, cloud services data center.

Average gaji untuk jurutera AI dan cloud ni yang berpengalaman lebih kurang RM7000-RM9000 sebulan, kalau senior level dan anda betul-betul fokus boleh sampai RM 15000-RM20000. Kerja engineer macam ni kurang risiko berbanding kerjaya seperti doktor dan pilot kapal terbang sebab anda tak deal dengan nyawa orang dan tak perlu kerja offshore seperti Oil and Gas. Paling kuat pon kalau kena bugs dalam software banyak level yang kena blame termasuk testing team , bukan anda sorang 🤣. 

Dan kalau kerja dalam development serta tak melibatkan operasi anda tak perlu standby 24x7 dan kalau pandai manage kerja tak perlu tidur lewat pon sebenarnya, kecuali kalau ada deadline yang tight dan critical issue kena deal cepat.

Apa kelebihan kerja kat syarikat macam ni? 

- Gaji dan bonus lebih tinggi berbanding syarikat lokal
- Benefit lebih bagus dari segi medical, training dan sumber pembelajaran yang banyak seperti LinkedIn Learning, O'reilly dan certification percuma
- Flexible working hour dan tak perlu masuk pejabat hari-hari.
- Ada peluang untuk ke luar negara untuk training dan sebagainya.
- Dapat saham seperti ESOs(beli) dan RSU.
- Naik gaji cepat sebab banyak syarikat anda boleh lompat(cheat code jangan buat selalu).
-Cth dulu Che Nom cuti bersalin (gaji penuh) selama 6 bulan sebab parent company dari scandivian, husband pulak paternity leave 4 bulan gaji penuh (bekerja dengan tech company dari Silicone Valley).

So macam mana kita nak target kerja-kerja ni untuk anak-anak kita? Kalau dalam bidang AI kena ada strong fundamental dalam proramming dan tentu sekali dalam AI technology sepert TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras dan juga kena tahu cloud platform macam Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform dan Microsoft Azure.

Ramai orang cakap yang boleh belajar sendiri programming language Python, tapi pendapat Che Nom kalau ada strong fundamental dalam proramming especially Object Oriented sangat membantu untuk jangka masa panjang. Sebagai contoh Diploma Komputer Sains UiTM, 3 tahun anda belajar programming dalam C++, C++ ni agak sukar tapi bila anda nak belajar python sendiri sangat senang sebab dah terbiasa dengan programming language yang agak mencabar seperti C++.

Kemudian anda boleh sambung ijazah di UiTM juga dalam bidang lain-lain (depend on minat anda), tapi untuk specific kepada AI ialah Ijazah Kejuruteraan Sistem Pintar. Kalau minat networking boleh sambung Ijazah Rangkaian Komputer sebab syarikat ni akan pakai networking devices macam Cisco, Juniper, Nokia, Ericsson dan sebagainya, dan kalau anda ada kelebihan Python sangat membantu sebab semuanya dah gunakan automation sekarang ni, nak spawn dan operate cloud software semua gunakan API dan scripting. Kalau ada ijazah lain yang lebih sesuai dari universiti lain boleh tambah kat komen.

Jadi plan betul-betul masa depan anak anda, dedahkan mereka dengan kerjaya seperti ni. Panggil expert dalam bidang-bidang ni datang ke sekolah untuk bagi ceramah, belajar basic programming Python dan robotic dalam usia muda. Dan yang paling penting target kursus yang marketable seperti ni.

Cari universiti yang kurang persaingan, go private university if necessary, ambil diploma atau pra dulu. Setakat grad awal 1-2 tahun tak significant kalau anda kerja sampai umur 55-60 tahun. Jangan jump terus kat syarikat besar, cari pengalaman kat syarikat kecil-kecil dulu sebab anda akan belajar banyak kat situ dan jangan risau sangat dengan starting gaji kecil, as long anda boleh survive kat Klang Valley ni should be ok. Yang penting berapa jauh anda boleh pergi sebab life is marathon bukan sprint 100 meter, nanti kau tergolek dik.

If you do these five things, you will win with money.

Great advice from @Dave Ramsey! If you do these five things, you will win with money 100% of the time.

Number one, you need to have a written plan, a budget. No one accidentally wins.

Second thing is, you've got to get out of debt. Your most powerful wealth-building tool is your income. And when you spend your whole freaking life giving your money to banks who fill up the skyline and have furniture nicer than yours, that makes you stupid.


Number three, live on less than you make. You need to decide that my life is not good enough the way it is, and so I am going to control the controllables. I am going to change some things.

And then you're going to save some money. You know how rich people get rich? They save money. And if you'll get out of debt and you'll invest and you live on less than you make and you have a plan, then you can do the last one. It's the most fun you'll ever have with money. You can be outrageously generous.

Khaby Lame billionaire by 2029

Khaby Lame will be a billionaire by 2029.

Not because he's the most followed person on TikTok with 162 Million followers.
Because he cracked the code of Gen Z attention (it's so simple, you'll laugh):

In March 2020, Khaby was just another factory worker in Italy laid off due to the pandemic.
His TikTok career started with gaming & dancing vids.
Fast forward to today? He's a global sensation.

But the craziest bit:

How did he do it without saying a single word?
It all started with a simple video mocking overly complicated life hacks.

No fancy equipment. No scripted jokes. Just Khaby, his phone, and his signature deadpan expression.

Little did he know, this would be the start of something huge.
Within months, Khaby's followers skyrocketed.

April 2021: 10 million followers.
July: 50 million.

And today? A staggering 162 million.
But his meteoric rise wasn't luck.

Intentionally or not, he's mastered 5 key elements of Gen Z attention:

1. Simplicity

In a world of complex content, Khaby's videos are refreshingly simple.
His format is reliable:
He takes convoluted "life hacks" and shows the obvious, easier solution -  without saying a word.
The universal language of gesture taps into a core Gen Z value:

Efficient content.

In an attention economy, Khaby delivers maximum humor in minimum time.
Khaby doesn't waste a moment - every second of his videos has a purpose.
It's the perfect dopamine injection for Gen-Z attention spans.
But that alone isn't enough.

2. Authenticity

Khaby's just a normal guy reacting to the absurdities of the internet.
He never tries to be someone he's not — just genuine reactions that resonate with millions.

This authenticity builds trust. But there's a twist:

Unlike many influencers who claim authenticity, Khaby's is unquestionable.
His rise from a factory worker to global star is well-documented.
This rags-to-riches story adds depth to his content, making him relatable to a vast audience.

There's a reason this is so important:
Countless Gen Z surveys will tell you relatable influencers always come out on top.

And Khaby? He:

* Still records in the same social housing complex
* Doesn't do any fancy editing
* Wears casual clothes

You can't be someone else forever. Authenticity always wins.

3. Consistency

Khaby used to post multiple times daily — sometimes up to 3-4 videos.
This frequency keeps him on top of TikTok's algorithm, ensuring constant visibility.
But it's not just quantity. His quality remains consistently high.

How does he maintain this pace?
By reacting to existing videos, Khaby has an endless supply of material.
It's genius. To anyone creating content:
How could you scale your work so it's easy to replicate, but still equally entertaining?
While his formula seems simple, Khaby's tapping into something bigger:

4. Cultural Commentary

Beneath the humor, Khaby's content is a subtle critique of internet culture.
He pokes fun at the often ridiculous "life hacks" that proliferate online.
It resonates with Gen Z's skepticism towards online trends — but there's an even deeper layer:
Khaby's success challenges the notion that you need to speak English to go viral.

His wordless videos have become a form of universal communication.
In a divided world, Khaby's content unites people through shared laughter.
But even universal appeal needs the right platform.

5. Cross-platform strategy

While TikTok is his main platform, Khaby doesn't put all his eggs in one basket.
He has:

* 80M Instagram followers
* 10M YouTube subscribers

But he understood that TikTok views don't pay the bills.

6. Monetization

Khaby's diversified his income:

* Brand deals with Xbox, Netflix, and Amazon
* Cryptocurrency partnerships
* NFT collections

Once you have eyeballs on your content, start turning followers into customers.

A final takeaway:
Never dismiss "influencers" as talentless/lucky.
The best ones (like Khaby) are master psychologists & marketers.

His success teaches us:
Your ideas don't need to be revolutionary to go viral. They just have to be yours.
