Anyone filled-up the white card "numbers of days to stay in SG" as 14 days but actually stay till 30 days only leave SG...?

Are there any consequences since the max stay is 30 days?

Depends on what you mean by prospects and what you consider bright.

On the whole though... admin is admin. It's a lot of well... admin work. How complicated or valued can it be?

The highest paid admin person I know is our SG site manager. She manages the facilities, EH&S, security, admin services (eg. secretaries, despatch, cleaners, tea ladies, pantry etc) and has to know how to do everything from purchasing to public relations to negotiating rental with landlord and negotiating OHQ extension with EDB. Not an easy job, 14 hour days, Blackberry never stops beeping but her salary's around $12-13K including a car allowance.

Not really. She's only 1 person, but there's almost another 30 admin people working for her and earn nowhere near that salary. Plus most of the other people in the company earning $10K or more, endure much less stress  than she does.

Now I stay down in singapore, using S$ very painful... whr are you now?

No problem, enlightening unenlightened people is part of my kungfu training.

Industry shouldn't matter. If you're only capable of earning say 2K in one industry, why would you suddenly earn 10K by switching to another industry? You're still the same 2K person, no?

If your good, then you can most certainly earn more then 10K a month or open your own business and reap the benefits of being your own proprietor.

I think I can only day dream that I earning 10k per month, and living luxury life driving imported car.

Lolz...cause I saw that Kallang area rooms are relatively cheaper than other areas. So I was just kinda wondering whether its some dodgy area not.
I need to look for somewhere near the Purple line.

10K salary aint luxury, i know a couple of fellas who earn around that figure and they live modestly since their not very materialistic and dont have the need to buy branded goods such as every tom, d*** and harry in singapore toting a LV bag.

Get a MBA?

10K in Singapore will get you a lot of iPhones, HDTVs, clothes, nice restaurants etc... but in terms of luxury condos and luxury cars... not really. You'll be able to afford a nice HDB but you won't qualify to buy one because your income is too high. But $1million+ condos are not really within your reach either, without taking out a huge loan and tying all your savings and future income in Singapore. A cheap little runabout like a Suzuki Swift or Vios is affordable, but not a real luxury car like a Beemer or Merc. The 10K earners are some of the 'sandwiched class' that politicians keep referring to. Technically they should be able to afford the good life and are taxed as such, but realistically they are neither here nor there.

10K is better than 2K. That's a no brainer. But it's not as good as some people think.

How would earning a lower salary in Singapore reap more benefit than earning a higher salary? I'm confused how your logic works.

I am a girl...
Yup, I am also worry bout it being near Geylang..lolz...
I guess, I may need to look for other places then...
Thanks!

Sorry if you feel offended but I find that line utterly stupid.
If we were to say it is not worth it, you were not going to work harder so that you can continue staying where you are?

also for girls, if you dun mind the uncles "stripping and raping" you with their stares.

Wah~!!! Aiming 10k is alrdy so hard, some more need to aim higher 100k?! OMG.... I've to go home now & day dream

@Erny Errol, why don't u rent Sengkang or Punggol? Where u stay? Im currently staying sengkang but moving to Punggol soon. I like these area, not very noisy & new HDB very clean

Hi,
I will be working at Wilkie Edge, and it is within walking distance from Dhoby Ghaut. Therefore, Punggol and Sengkang area would be slightly too off for me.

Yup, I'm looking into Boon Keng, but whenever I google Boon Keng room for rent, it'll lead me to Kallang =.='''

one of my colleagues said that geylang got "code" one, the lorong number will roughly correspond to (1) whether got ayam or not and (2) what country the girls are from ... haha!

was during dinner at the beef noodle & frog leg porridge place that he said that

@yinyum/ivan: not so hard to plan one. within your industry/company/job scope, you look upwards you will also know agak agak how high you need to climb in order to achieve your target $$. so the question then is just building whatever needed education, qualifications, certifications, experience, and skills so that you can rise to that target.

example i'm currently sort of a hybrid IT/projects/finance line. in order to sit in my boss place, i need experience in running projects and some sort of formal qualification - either PMP or MBA in Proj Mgmt. The former will come naturally in my current role, the latter I need to plan with regards to sacrificing time & money & effort to get that qualification. Then after that it's a matter of looking for opportunities, whether it's within the same company or elsewhere.

Wow...so many fees to pay upfront.
Sometimes I wonder, whether this move to Singapore is worth it or not..lolz.
