Guest: Nicholas Lam, Managing Director, Jobstreet by SEEK Malaysia
According to the Jobstreet Salary Pulse 2026, more than a quarter of Gen Z workers in Malaysia earn under RM2,500 a month, yet they're the generation most likely to say they're happy with their pay, while Gen X, who earns the most, feels the least fairly paid. Nicholas Lam of Jobstreet by SEEK tells us why pay satisfaction isn't just about the number on the payslip, and why having honest, transparent conversations about pay may matter more for retention than matching a competitor's salary.
