How do I increase my monthly salary as I'm currently earning less than 3k and recently graduated from my part time university studies with 4 years of experience?

As I'm in the building/facility sector, the monthly salary is not that high. Recently I just graduated and was thinking if I should change my existing job and hoping if I can get a higher pay. Since from what I understand from my other colleagues that they submitted their uni cert to HR but no pay revise was given.

Should I take the risk? As I'm going to get my BTO and marriage soon in coming 1 year

Sometimes simply having a certifcate might not be enough to justify a pay revision by the company, that's the harsh truth.

If things don't go your way and you believe that you are worth more than what you are getting paid for especially after investing time in completing a university course, start looking for opportunities elsewhere.
