Big or small, your size is the same. The factor that determines whether you are big or small is the size of the pond

Big fish in small pond, how much u are fed = small pond amount, and small pond restricts you to swim and grow, and be contented and stagnant as 'big' fish in small pond.

Small fish in big pond = bigger space to grow fatter and FATTER

People out of the pond will not know you as a big fish from the small pond, but even a small fish from a big pond will make an impression.

Additional information from my friend. He stressed that must have work permit/employment pass to stay in singapore.
Further no one will dare to rent it without all these thing. unless u get a permit from a company then u're allow to rent. How true is this statement?

if the landlord doesnt provide official agreement, i doubt you'll face any problem provided that you can pay 1 month deposit + 1 month rental on the spot.

You can just stay at those travellers lodges around CBD/bugis. Not very expensive. Anyway there is a place across City Square RM50 a night. Looks dodgy but you get a bed and hot shower plus aircon and at night you can see hookers from your window.

Guys & girls,


Was hoping that some of you that are more experience could shed some light. I consider myself a freshie and I am thinking of making a career move and starting over in Singapore, so generally speaking, is Singapore a good place to start for an engineering graduate? I guess, my main concerns are not on the financial aspects but more towards the career side of things, in particular (for a MNC):

Training & development: In comparison with grads of the same organisation in other parts of the world, do you get the same level or training and exposure?

Working culture: Would love to know how's the working culture like? Mutual respect for one another (even from the top)? Promotion based on merit? Do people value/place importance in quality of work rather than profit only? Are people very willing to pass on their knowledge and help promote growth in one another? Working hours? etc. etc.

Social aspects: Do people go for lunch together? Do people hang out together after work?


While I understand that this is all very subjective, but I suppose there can be some generalisation to an extent. Also, I do apologise as some questions might seem very petty but I sincerely hope that I could get some advice, particularly from those who have had the chance to work in Singapore and in other parts of the globe.



Thanking you in advance,
Crispypork

No one gonna rent you a room for a month or two, hard to get a room for that short durations even for work pass holders. No work pass = no housing room rental, as simple as that. Your best bet would be travelers lodging or hotel/motel. Or stay in JB.

1. eng. is ok, finance is the best in sg
2. yes, same exposure but some corp are just too small in sg
3. no mutual respect, top treat u like shiet, promotion based on merit and bootlicking at times, profit, generally helpful, avg 10 hours a day
4. yes, often cause nowhere else to go, no all balik rumah unless u r an alien,
