QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Dec 14 2011, 01:20 PM) what type of challenge u refer to? its our choice where we want to live. As long as i din late for work, i do my work properly, they will appreciate us. I agree with you. In fact, I shared with my boss that I am living in JB but will normally be the first to turn up to work and normally one of the last to leave. So he has got no problem with me. Nevertheless, I have a friend who has a boss against him staying in JB probably have the conception that he will slack if stay 'so far' from work. In general, I do not have problem. In fact, I can see a lot of Singaporeans/SG PR seeing the Dr. I am seeing in JB. Just to see if others have encountered any challenges as a lesson learnt for us.only thing is some company does not accept MC from JB. but my company got no issue on that. |

Seems that there are still growth opportunities in Singapore though the hiring percentage is down...

QUOTE(Tigerr @ Dec 14 2011, 04:47 PM) So, what is all this implies???? She changes car only and many people are doing it also even one of my friend who draw salary about 5k also change car every 3-4 years.....but he is quite broke most of the time and dont have much savings, but when come to changing new car, he doesnt even blink his eyes....all this got loan to take care and your friends mum may be can get interest free loan as she works with Maybank.... Changing car is nothing... if you are buying a property every 3-4 years in cash... that's something!Added on December 14, 2011, 4:48 pm So, you are with GL?? Malaysia or Singapore?? |

QUOTE(Tigerr @ Dec 14 2011, 05:00 PM) Must be specific, i can buy 2 low cost apartment every year in cash.....or buy a bungalow in sentosa every year in cash....this makes whole lot of difference... Either way, if you can obtain rental from these (low cost or bungalow), it's better than changing car. Added on December 14, 2011, 5:11 pm QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Dec 14 2011, 05:01 PM) really? I thought Sg is booming. living cost getting higher by the day. If you read the newspaper few days ago, they estimated that the prices of properties will go down by as much as 30%. Would this actually impact the rental in SG? Just curious. What do you think. I chat with some of my friends. Some said it will and some said it will not.This post has been edited by L7Awesome: Dec 14 2011, 05:11 PM |

QUOTE(crazy25kid @ Dec 16 2011, 09:26 AM) I was at Ang Mo Kio. Got stuck in Toa Payoh for two hours yesterday on the way from Orchard. It's really chaotic and this is the first time I see people are trying to get into the bus ala Pudu Raya way. New experience.No issues going Woodlands/Jurong direction yesterday. Train was completely empty. There was announcement that no train service from Braddell to Marina. Later last night saw the news, train fault between Bishan and Bradell. Passengers had to walk thru the tunnel to "evacuate".  |

QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Dec 22 2011, 03:10 PM) Yeah for a few years. Then I get bored staying in JB and moved to Sg. Funny how I started off staying in Sg when I first work and then move to JB. So you basically stayed in SG, then to JB and now moved back to SG? Planning to do another 'pigeon turn'? |

QUOTE(mercury8400 @ Dec 23 2011, 09:55 AM) Malaysian expat in SG??? Sure or not??? Wow, this is the first time I see it this way. Haha... I like it though but we are more of Kuli than expat.Added on December 23, 2011, 10:57 am QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Dec 22 2011, 05:56 PM) when Alternative Front win the state election Wishful thinking is that it will be more than just a hope. Sad to say, it will be a long wait still. Added on December 23, 2011, 10:59 am QUOTE(always me @ Dec 22 2011, 11:08 PM) this thread exists in a wrong section. most of the time people here are discussing more about living in singapore, not so much about working or developing a career in singapore. This is our life here in SG that comes in a package when we made the decision to work here. I think it has to do with our work daily.This post has been edited by L7Awesome: Dec 23 2011, 10:59 AM |

QUOTE(sapapa @ Jan 10 2012, 04:37 PM) Would like to ask if the salary offered is acceptable Actually my humble suggestion is this. Go take some professional certifications like Cisco or Linux in order to upgrade yourself. From there you might get more $$. Give it a try. Paper is important in Singapore.Profession : IT Technician Industry : IT(Toshiba) Years of exp : 0 Qualification : Diploma $1450 Also would like ask if working in Japanese company is a good thing, such as benefits? |

Hi Lester,
Have not congratulate you on your success in applying for the PR. I also got the good news from my friend today who also stays in JB too :-). Added on January 18, 2012, 8:15 pm QUOTE(trythis @ Jan 18 2012, 10:43 AM) Isn't? I finding for job in Network engineer in SG as well. But I can't get any proper network engineer job. My job now the position is Network Engineer but the job scope I do for everyday is just like IT support. Install software, install PC, remove printer that kind of things and not alot of things to do. So can day day go back on the spot. trythis, finish your CCNA as soon as you can and start on CCNP. I think you should complete it with a target date of say one to two months instead of waiting till end of the year. Just to give you an idea, most of the junior Network Engineer that I worked with will need to have at least CCNA and doing their CCNP. If not, they would really struggle to compete with others. So I encourage you to complete your CCNA as soon as possible. Also, try to learn up your Cisco networking skills by yourself like GNS. Setup the lab and make sure you know the basic routing protocols as well as L2 technologies. That will give you a headstart and to prepare for your CCNA. Hope this helps. But my aim is to be network enigneer with configuration router and switch. I have a degree in network, and also complete my CCNA1 to 4 academic exam, now just planning to take the CCNA final exam before end of the year.
