hi anyone here who's working in banking/financial industry in Sg? I'm a business graduate looking for a banking job there.. Jobstreet kinda sucks tho

Damn, today i know that EY is paying you back the CPF if you are not a PR.

Meaning if your basic is $5K, EY will pay additional $900 to you as CPF loss. So, total moeny receive is $5.9K...

Employer contribution is less than the employee contribution. 16% for employer vs 20% for employee, IIAM.

soon, now just waiting for morgana_jara and her girlfriends for confirmation of place, date and time 

totally agreed. HR feedback to me on this of a candidate was intended to sign the offer letter after offering & they do know the work location at 1st when apply through job advertisement. then the candidate rejected bcos of above reasons that you mentioned especially "Tuas". what is more our company provides engaged free shuttle bus for morning pick up from certain interchange point to office and free bus from office after work.

1 of our singaporean managers also commented himself no more singaporeans at these new generations like his old time able and will take up jobs at plant or just walk under sun for maybe 10-15 minutes. he got no choice but to take foreigners until the quota reach. 2 singaporeans were hired few months ago, the 2nd day leaving without any notice to our HR or inform their supervisor and with taking away PPE and coveralls which were supplied to them on the 1st day of work.

actually... the "far" in their terms are always very near to me.. lol.. More so when they do not need to drive to work or meet the ever increasing road rages...Hence, as long as I do not need to drive for 2 hours then yea..

But sad to hear their change of wind though.. Most of us if given a place with opportunity.. We work hard.. Since they want us not.. Then that is their lost..

I wonder how did most of you secure a job offer there..I ve sent out numerous job applications but did not receive even one single reply from them..may I know what kinda qualities r they looking for?

I got a fren (SPR), last time bought a HDB with his sister for about $250K (during tat period each of them contributed 50% monthly installment).

Now bcos her sister wanna get married edy, so my fren terpaksa to shift out. The problem is how to sought this problem?

Her sister pay him back $125K? But how bout current market rate? Take how long to pay him back? Her sister oso did not have so much money for at least $125K.

Any suggestions guys? Or the most fair method is sell the HDB and distribute the funds for 50% each? but the drawback is need to incur more funds and time to get another HDB or their own.

River,
  That is what I am doing now with my kids.  Nevertheless, when they reach Std 4 or 5, it will be a challenge for them to catch up on Singapore's education if you decide to let them go with Singapore's syllabus.  The gap between SG and MY education is a bit too big.  One of my friend sent their kids to Foon Yew previously and they have to look for schools in SG to admit them.  After that, the kids really struggled through std 5 and std 6. They shared with me to start them on early as the gap between the two education systems is wide.

Their a pampered, spoiled lot. If you see how protective their parents are, you'll understand why most of their children turn out as they are. One of my colleagues wife even lament that her child went to malaysia for a school nature outing and she was constantly worried about her childs safety.

With my previous employer, they too had the trouble of holding onto Singaporeans but then again, they prefer to have more foreigners due to the lower wages they get and having enough singaporeans to get the foreign quotas that they desire,.

The benefit for us is, as the new generation of singaporeans get choosy, more chances of employment are offered to us since if they want to expand a business but cant get locals, they dont really have another choice unless they want to get stuck in the mud so to speak.

I e-mailed my CV directly to the HR department of the company, from then on, every subsequent company that i've moved on was a client of my previous company since working as a "Subi", i get to meet with alot of potential employers and a number of them enquired as to whether i would be interested in joining them.
