I enjoy the place. quiet and not as many ppl. the area is pretty new as well so there is a bunch of new married couples bring their kids and squeeze the bus. overall it is good... i dont feel much diff other than more ppl at other places XD

want to ask, near boat quay got any nice buffet/good japanese restaurant around sgd30? want to eat something nice for tonight.

perhaps i used a wrong term. by saying quit immediately i mean hand in resign letter, i wont be able to leave immediately due to 2 mths notice period(i kno its long).....
i could use that two mths to hunt for another job but the hardest part is to resign coz i m quite close with my colleagues n boss as well, it feel awkward if i resign now n they will know the reason....does anyone know the embarrassing feel?

everyone thinks i am underpaid even local sgporean they were shocked. i dont always overestimate myself i know whats my ability and i didnt demand alot as i was considered completely new in this field. but after working 3 mths i found that the workload is exceeding what they pay me.

I used to be very close to my ex superior and colleagues from my previous 2 companies. When I want to quit I just say I want to experience and learn something new. That's all nothing else. Work is work, when it is the time, we all move on.

If you want to know u r underpaid or not, visit those job hunting site like jobsdb or jobstreet and see the lowest & average offer (forget about the highest). If you manage to get a higher pay job then only u hand in your resignation. You should know better for your industry, so evaluate your bargaining power properly before u quit without a new offer.

My personal experience tells me that my workload always exceeding what they pay me. If it is the other way around then I need to be worry about how long I can get hold of this job. My suggestion is to last 1 year for the experience. Please remember there is tax clearance if you work in the company more than 90 days but less than 180 days.

btw, after the 2 weeks you still can come back to Singapore for 2 months (social visit pass + 30 days extension). But you need to discuss with your landlord regarding this.
