I found out that this is an interesting topic.

Age: 25
Education: Law Degree
Job Title : In-house Counsel
Job Description : Providing legal support/legal advice to the Company
Years spent in company : Two months
Company : MNC
Industry : Property Development
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Junior Executive
Experience before joining :1 year post-chambering experience
Salary : RM 4K basic
Benefit: Breakfast+Lunch (via staff coupons at Company's food court), Medical Benefits (extended to immediate family members (spouse,kids & parents)), 15% EPF Company's Contribution, 7% discount on purchase of property developed by the Company.
Increment and bonus: 7%. Past performance bonus ranged from 2-6 months.

Appreciate if anyone can shed the light on these issues:-
1) Is it hard for those who cannot converse/write in Mandarin/Cantonese to get a job in Singapore?
2) Salary-wise (as I am new in corporate environment), does it make any difference for those who has MBA?

Thank you.

post here u get more info http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2003079

1)no
2)eh.. this depend, in your case being fresh i go with NO

i m sorry, senorita.

if you refer to increment, i m not sure as each company has their own plan. if change job, each time get 30% or more.

however, it depend on your requirement too. I have friend who ask for lower pay because he want a relax job.

30% maybe applicable in the early stage...after that it's hard to gain 30% in each jump.

Yeah, a friend of mine also stated the same thing. He provides me some calculations on how much can I demand for my expected salary. Sadly, the calculation seems confusing. Or maybe I am the only one who got confused.

( Salary + contractual bonus (if any) ) * 12 = annual income

Then,

(30% from the annual income) / 12 = salary increment

Is the calculation wrong or it is calculated like that?

just thinking... the higher ur salary, the higher u will in debt

even u have savings, but ur debt also increased.. becoz?

u never satisfied in ur life..

and sometime ur money is buying ur precious time with family or ur loved one. .

it depends on individuals...
but your statement applies to general public

I am running biz for my family, so nothing much to share.

Basically 4k salary, but anything with receipt can claim from our company. Car is Audi TT, 3 years old, given by company.
