I was offered a job in Sg but not sure whether to accept or not? The job's a downgrade from my current one in m'sia but the pay is better (no conversion). They offered SGD 4+++ but i duno if that is enough to go about in Sg especially rent is on the high side. Any advise? The Sg com is a american company in Jurong dealing with heavy equipment.

I am currently in banking with about 4 years experience and will join a non-banking company in finance. When i mention a downgrade, i'm refering to prospects. and while in M'sia i don't have to worry about things like rent, utilities, toiletries, etc (as i live with my parent) my liabilities are mainly food, family allowances, car, petrol,etc which is still manageable with a little bit of luxury here and there .Don't know if SGD 4000k is enough to maintain my current lifestyle. What's the difference between P1,2&3? What kind of benefits does p2 entails?

If you can get 1+1 room hdm for <SGD1K, let me know cos i'm very interested

Hi all,
I'm also going to work in sg in august. Working in Jurong and planning find a room somewhere in Clementi/Queenstown/Buona Vista/Redhill. Don't really want to stay with landlord either. Any one of you (not landlords) who are planning to get an apartment on a shared basis?
Kindly PM me.

Anyone here wanting to live around Boon Lay this august 2010? I am looking to share to rent a HDB apartment with malaysian (preferably chinese) as it is very hard to find a room.

I don't think that is a fair comparison. When u earn in SG you spend in SG. Rental is expensive, cost of living is rising. When people say that dollar to dollar food in SG is cheaper than M'sia you must understand the key word here is "cheaper". If you are earning SGD 2,000.00 you have to live a spartan life here. If you earn RM 6,000 in M'sia, you can liver pretty comfortably even though the exchange rate will ultimately make the person earning SGD 2000 more than the person earning RM 6,000.00

I desperately need a common room in Tiong Baru/Redhill/Commonwealth... budget SGD 900 (with aircond and including PUB and TV). Any help pls. I'm starting work 4/10/2010.... HELP

I'm doing recruitment for non-bank finance sectors. Anyone with >5 yrs experience in finance

I rented a one bedroom (studio) walk up apartment with an attached bathroom in Geylang Lorong 15 for SGD 900 p.m. EXCLUDING PUB!!! and I was told that was a steal.....

SG is boring. What do you guys do during weekends? I got nothing to do...too tired of window shopping.....

Window shopping-sure end up buying something I dun need
Casino-lost too much money once, promised I'll never go back
Booze - Can't drink
So that leaves going to the movies
Strangely, its so damn humid and crowded in SG that i rarely go out yum cha unlike KL unless got aircond......
Yin Yum if you're looking for new career opportunities, I might be able to help...I work in a recruitment firm

From what i know, anyone without a recognised degree or not working in a specialist, managerial, professional or in-demand type of occupation will be tough getting both EP or S-pass

Any gathering this sat? I'm looking at dinner....
