Malaysian Gen Z changes jobs like changing underwear.
boomers stayed 20 years at the same company. millennials did 2-5 years per job.
gen Z? 18 months and they're already looking.
everyone's blaming work ethic.
but I think that's painting a partial picture.

first, let's be clear about what the data actually says.
a fresh @pnbri_my report cited by @theedgemalaysia and @NewsBFM confirms: the majority of diploma and degree holders in Malaysia still earn below RM3,000. a significant chunk earn under RM2,000 - well below the cost of living in KL.

74% of Malaysian Gen Z workers aged 15-24 are underemployed, working in roles below their qualification level.
so let's not chalk that up to laziness. this is rational exit behaviour.

if staying put means a 5-10% increment in 2-3 years, and switching jobs can get you 20-50% more overnight - what would you do?
flight isn't disloyalty. sometimes flight is just good math.
so the data only explains part of it.
and here's the deeper shift nobody's talking about.

your parents' generation compared themselves to their neighbours.
the Joneses were the family next door. the uncle with the better car. the colleague who got promoted before them.
the reference group was small. local. visible only through physical proximity.
your reference group is now 8 billion people.
every time you open Instagram, TikTok, or X, you're comparing your life (your salary, your apartment, your bag, your holiday) against the most curated, optimised highlights of people across the entire planet.

KOLs. influencers. friends who emigrated. the person your age who just closed their seed round.
your parents compared themselves to the neighbourhood.
you compare yourself to the world.
the internet just expanded the comparison set and rewired the feedback loop.

post something and you know in minutes whether it landed. swipe left and there's something better. finish a show and the next one autoloads.
the entire digital environment trains you to expect fast feedback, instant results, and immediate signals of whether something is working.

then you enter the workplace.
where progression takes 2-3 years minimum.
where feedback is an annual review.
where your increment is decided once a year in a committee you'll never meet.
the mismatch isn't just economic. it's neurological.
so when boomers call Gen Z "impatient" - they're right.
however, that impatience was manufactured.

two decades of social media, instant gratification, and global comparison built a generation that is neurologically calibrated for speed.
and then we put them in institutions that run at the pace of the 1970s.
the PNB report is right that structural issues drive job hopping with low wages, underemployment, no career ladder.
but the internet accelerated it.

because even if wages were better, the comparison game would still be running in the background.
"my @UniofOxford friend is doing X in London."
"the guy I went to school with just made partner in SG." "my @ns neighbour just closed a $2M round."

the goalposts are now set by global maximums, not local averages.
the real fix isn't to tell Gen Z to be more patient.
it's for employers to understand that the compact has changed.
the 20-year loyalty that boomers gave was earned by stable jobs, lifetime employment promises, predictable increments, and a comparison set that didn't include the entire internet.
none of those conditions exist anymore.

so what do you actually do if you're early career in Malaysia right now?
job hop strategically, not reactively.
move for skills, not just salary. each move should add something to your toolkit - a capability, a network, a portfolio - that compounds over time.

the risk of constraint-driven job hopping (moving because you're underpaid and underemployed) is that you can end up cycling through roles at the same level without actually building anything.
exploratory hopping is fine. survival hopping has long-run costs. the generation that grew up with global comparisons now needs to build global skills.

and for what it's worth - the people I see at @SuperteamMY building on @solana aren't job hopping.
they're building something they own - a different game entirely.

AI is not evenly distributed because of pricing.

Google AI Plus is RM24/mo (USD$6)
ChatGPT Go is RM24/mo but still GPT-5.5 Instant (to get Thinking it jumps to RM99.90/mo - USD$25.15)

Claude though starts at USD$20 (RM80). But that's only about SGD$25.62.

Now you know why Singaporeans have easier access to AI compared to Malaysians - exchange rates.

So many people want that kampung slow living life until they realize there’s no instant delivery, bad signal, and no shops nearby. If u cant survive without city conveniences, village life will humble u so fast. Its peaceful but yeah, a huge adjustment. Tapi kampung saya best la hehe✌🏼

I feel like 26-29/30 year old Gen Z are the cool, in-the-know people because of the era of the internet they grow up in and having a semblance of analog interaction in childhood. the 19-23 year olds are WEIRD, extremists. They are the "cringe" millennials of the Gen Z

Day in a life of an unemployed person 😭

[Rooted in the Game @rootedinthegame]

What a Time To be aliveeee 🥳😂

[diyu @haha_girrrl]

Pain of an unemployed person :

• You wake up late, but still feel tired
• Every day feels the same
• You apply for jobs daily, no replies
• Phone notifications give hope, then nothing
• Family keeps asking “Any update?”
• Friends slowly stop calling
• You start avoiding people
• Money feels tight all the time
• You feel guilty even while resting
• Confidence slowly goes down
• You start doubting yourself
• Skills are there, opportunity is not
• Motivation comes and goes
• Nights are full of overthinking
• You feel stuck and helpless
• You are trying, but no one sees it

Being unemployed is not laziness.
It’s mental pressure no one understands.
