Which EP? Q1, P2 or P1?

If P1 with those percentages and months, then you need to buy lunch for everyone.

oh ya, i think he can apply for those auxilary police in Singapore. quite well paid as well. And there are a lot non-chinese in those sector. But he need to be physically fit to be able to get that job. i got that contact from jbtalk forum. they got share how much they earn, the test and everything there. There is an Agent on that forum, but not sure if they only employ chinese since jbtalk is a chinese forum sad.gif

To Nicky87

I think u and all other accounting graduates have the same mindset, that is to join audit firm as it will help u to get ur membership after 3 yrs of exeprience.
we all have been brain wash by our lecturers.I think u need to know why u wan that membership and also what u wan.
u dun get promotion or increment after u get ur membership .so, as long as u know what u wan , why let this membership thingy restrict u??
by the way, I have friends who get their membership without joining audit firm.

agree, msians like audit firm and sg audit firms like msians... a lot of msians working there except pwc...

Hey guys, I'm having troubles in deciding what do on this matter. Any suggestions or advices are kindly appreciated.

I'm currently working in MAS at a FMCG company doing IT, and has been with the company for nearly 2 years ++.  Yesterday, a fren offer me a position for receiving/purchasing job in the Far East company(SG) but the job is not IT related. It's a whole new ball game already.

Please advise on what to consider, shud I go for it or shud I stay/remain at the current job?

monetary authority of sg? wats MAS? ohhh... msia

errr... a lot of indons there, females doing sales... not too bad that company... depends on ur liking

let me guess. sick of JAIS restriction?

My view is that 10% is pretty reasonable. Normally 35% only comes during promotion / salary revision (diff from increment) / counter offer/ job hop.

5 months bonues quite reasonbale oso.
*
is it? but i extrapolate 10% every year i will fail to meet my target sad.gif i guess i should stay back another year to look see right?

care 2 share urs?

Far East sounds like one of the main property developer in SG, or it is not?

ahhh, that explains the increment... but bonus rather low dont you think? on the downstream or upstream?...
QUOTE(yeahs4.1 @ Apr 5 2011, 01:31 AM)
btw, for 2010 i think my employer was doing well too. However the employees are not rewarded properly (IMO).
Increment: 4 to 5%.
Bonus: 1.5 months AWS + 2 months profit sharing + performance bonus (will be announced in July)
*

bonus seems good... but july? errr.... rather slow...

Mainly from cracker downwards. Company does not focus on 'variable' income. Bonus is low because our basic is somewhat higher than market. We don't even have a commission program our salesmen..

i guess that explains a lot.. prefer something like yours... high basic less bonus... sigh

Hi all,

Just got my PR approved few weeks ago  biggrin.gif  rclxm9.gif

Have a few questions hope someone could answer me

1) When you converting license from MY license to Sg license, must go take letter from JPJ. I heard if you go to Johor JPJ, they will cut your MY license before giving you the letter? Other state JPJ they do not cut your license and just give you the letter. Is that right?

2) According to SG police traffic/driving school, if you come to Singapore to work a period of time then only you get your MY license, you cannot convert already and you must retake the whole SG license which cost a lot of money. Anyone can advise?

3) Those surgery/disease insurance that use your CPF to pay a portion of the sum. Is it advisable to get those? Any recommendation which one good? Heard NTUC not bad...

Thanks  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

new threshold is 2.8k for ep fyi... so are they gonna increase the offer? if below threshold you have to have a very strong degree + years of exp to convince MOM to approve your ep

errmm... ntg wrong with fax, but since they say can go there so its up to you... medical checkup has to be done there... unless the recruitment agency has somekind of arrangement... post picture to me, i got extra room if....
