McD still ok, at least not foodcourt or kopitiam lol

McD also have advantage if you are nervous person as these environment make you feel less tense compared to meeting/boardroom

food+groceries 1.3k
transport 200
other utilities & misc expenses 100
room ... 300 to 800

your mileage may vary.

shocking.gif if only i have the guts to spend so much on food & groceries. mine is only 1/4 of that lol

imho, it's how much you can save rather than how much you can earn.

This also means the longer the penis, the lower the level of corruption!!!

Also, the longer the penis, the higher the standard of living and average income.

I think we can conclude that everything is determined by the size of your penis. Dayyumm... I think I'm going to get a PhD from Muruku's university.

Damn. Does that meant our country's fate depends on ministers' penis? I knew it!

I think you should work both sides... respond to ads as well as engage recruitment agencies. Another avenue is Linkedin... there are lots of Singaporean recruiters hanging out there and contacting people to make new connections. For ads, try www.efinancialcareers.sg as well. Very focused for finance (esp. banking) jobs.

I had to agreed with that. I got into one of the well established group because of the profile i listed in linkedin. Few headhunters approached me and I got the job I chose.

Problem is....... it's freaking stressful compared to all my previous jobs. Damn high expectation and lots of pressure. Just need to grow more balls and tough up.

Merry christmas and happy holiday to y'all

I think what he means is that Singapore NS is actually worthwhile? I'm too old to know about Malaysia NS, but my sister (cainis, obviously) went and she came back happy and described it as a "3 month holiday camp." Get paid some more.
It's more like camp for making youngster feeling dumber and weaker. Eat 6 times daily (what i heard previously) and sit in class all day.

Guys need some advice from those already in SG,

I have 5 years of good experience in large companies and MNCs in both MY and in China doing business consulting and market research work. Have wanted to make the move to SG for some time now but I can't get any decent response from the larger companies there. Only replies have been from more ahem chinaman type smaller companies which I am probably not interested in. After trying for a year now I am thinking about leaving it for the time being and requesting for an internal transfer in a couple of years as an alternative. The problem is that this method is definitely not always open and a lot of politics when moving across. I get headhunter calls almost every week for some company in Malaysia but even applying directly for a lower position than my current one in a competitor company in SG doesnt even get a response.

Any tips the sifus here can give to me for trying to improve my response rate?

Thanks !!

Brush up your resume and make yourself more marketable. If your resume failed to make any impression, you wont have chance for interview.
