How do I compare two job offers in Malaysia?

Don't just compare base salary. Work out the true annual take-home pay after EPF, SOCSO, EIS and PCB tax for each offer, then add the value of allowances and non-cash benefits like insurance, stock or extra annual leave. The offer with the higher total package value, not just the higher base salary, is usually the better one.

Should I count bonus in a job offer comparison?

Yes, but treat a guaranteed bonus differently from a discretionary one. A contractual 13th-month payment is close to guaranteed income; a performance bonus that varies by year should be weighted lower or excluded until you have more certainty.

What counts as a non-cash benefit?

Health and life insurance premiums, stock or ESOS grants, extra annual leave (valued at your daily rate), gym or wellness allowances, and employer-paid courses or certifications. These don't hit your bank account but they do have real annual value.
