Need help and information

8 years ago
Hey all,

Here's my situation:

My name is Hamsik and I'm American citizen looking for much advice and help. I'm getting married in May 2017. My fiancée and I wil be spending 3 months of that summer in either KL or Penang. Both my fiancée and I are college students right now and we'll both graduate the following May in 2018 after we come back from our honeymoon. My plan is if we really like Malaysia on the honeymoon trip in 2017 (which I think we will) we want to move abroad to Malaysia completely after we graduate in 2018. I'm majoring in Management Information Systems and she's a French / English teacher with a Celta.

How realistic is it to get jobs in Malaysia before we graduate? What salary range could western graduates with not much experience expect? I could do any business IT roles and she obviously wants to teach English or French.

Any advice or info would be appreciated.

Thanks
