If they have offered me a dollar to dollar with 20-30% increase I would have definitely grabbed it with both hands. My current pay is RM 6600 BTW so to expect a company to pay me SGD 6600 is definitely quite difficult as I will immediately become one of the top earners in Singapore without even proving myself.
Well you mistook me. Of course I will be taking that job with the presumption that I will stay no matter what happens. I am also not that concern about Job Security. Problem is that a contract worker should always be earning more then a permanent worker of the same capability because they sacrifice their job security. When say something happens, it's the contract worker that gets pushed out first followed by the permanent worker. Contract workers are always viewed as "not so important". That is why they get paid higher just in case something happens to them.
am not in IT so dun shot me, firewall up
but can only share a case i know off about contract staff, last time compaq contract out all their desktop troubleshooting to third party, and this contract is will be subject to tender after a period
basiclly lowest bidder win, these 3rd staff on contract basiclly follow the new co who win the contract but as the tender is getting lower, mean those contract staff also subject to a certain paycut when joining this new 3rd party co
and this vicious cycle keep continue ..
6.6k is not top earner in singapore leh
seantang will tell u, u still below sandwish class
mercury will still label rubbish
materazzi will laugh at u cause u in IT
mackiddo will only wish u good luck hahah..
btw deodorant din take pay cut when coming..
