I mean whether he has a degree. ACCA is a professional qualification... not unlike a commercial driving licence, not a tertiary education.

Nope, he only has a ACCA..

BTW, do u know of any good websites for searching jobs besides JobsDB? Thanks.

Acca not sufficient?

From what I understand the Big 4s in Malaysia are paying more to ACCA than to degree grads.

For the case of Sg, the rate is the same

from what i heard, sg values their local bac. of acc. more than professional papers

woohoo! got jobfair... any1 going?

Where? any webpage that i can seacrh for more info?

Brunei dollar = Singapore dollar, unless you got big increment to cover your tax to be paid in Singapore and the saving each month is more than what you can save in Brunei, then it's worth a jump

In sg there is life, in Brunei, hard to source for alcohol and pork I guess

ACCA alone... not always. Singapore is very particular on graduates. The civil service and many corporates even formally distinguish between the university and degree class at a policy level. Not all will deem a professional accounting qualification as a proxy for a tertiary degree. The US MNC I'm in and others that I have contact with, will group accounting qualification holders (without degree) into the technical salary scale, rather than the graduate salary scale.

You don't notice that in Malaysia, somehow the accounting profession idolises ACCA - even thinking that it replaces a university education; whereas in Singapore, HK etc... ACCA is a certification rather than education, and just one of the many available.

ceh, mostly education...zzzz

exp in what position?

engineer should be around 6-12k/month... depends how much is the jump... i believe it is a good choice

just need 2 cross d border ^^

ofcoz can save more in Brunei due to no life no entertainment no alcohol no clubs no bar zilch

Correction, you can get alcohol. You just need to know who to get it from.

Just ask some of the engineers at either Shell BSRC or murphy oil. They'll hook you up with Heineken.

hey guys... my appeal has been rejected again... dis time reason is over quota... so if over quota the company cannot do anythin edi and its time for me to move on?

I am working in Spore for like 2 years plus. Really feel like going back to my hometown in KL already >.<"

Added on March 4, 2011, 5:23 pmI nvr plan to return 2 Msia & work... at least not for now,
Maybe I will buy a house in JB to stay. Weekdays in SG & weekends in JB when i have my family then.

Added on March 4, 2011, 5:25 pmIf i were to leave SG, I will chose Aus,
Canada is just too far from Msia, that totally offset the benefits in Canada when travel b Msia @@!

You and every other south east asian person would choose australia as the country of choice to migrate.

Recently on of my friends got the opportunity to work there since his PR application was approved. Just like that he dropped everything he had and moved over there.
