Thanks. Expected the market to sink after Lehman Bros but... Got tired if waiting and paying rental.

Simei IS 10 stops from town leh. It's all the way in the East, physically right next to Expo.

Sorry ya, only experienced (4 years) applicant can jump queue. Junior level need to follow the normal route. But I think the new recruits should be in already. For KPMG Sg, I think the recruitment starts in March - June, orientation in July.

Nope. I am not meticulous enough and I cant drink. Too many smart people in the den and time too precious to keep climbing the corporate ladder where I can never see the top.

In IKEA, it is slightly different. Only 2 more ladders to become a CFO, but problem is WHEN would that vacancy be available as people never leave! At the meanwhile I am enjoying the free time by building a little business at the sideline.

I agree with you seantang, the first year in Sg, I hardly save a dime, but slowly as you progress and jump a couple of ships, money will start to roll in IF your boss thinks you are worthy enough. It would only work if your boss could appreciate what you do. Some ppl hated singapore simply cause their work sucks, they couldnt click with their local colleagues, home sick and away from their love ones.

i dont think things in singapore are too expensive. Aside from car and housing, rest is very decent and affordable. I can still get 2.50 chicken rice and 1.50 nasi lemak at neighbourhood mall.

Welcome to Singapore. I hv been here for 6 years, still excited to be here, though occassionally I am home sick.

yup yup...PR has higher chance to change for better job pay.

At that price range you're looking at REALLY small rooms in non-prime areas.

[edit] http://www.propertyguru.com.sg/ ... click "For Rent," set max price $500 then you can see an idea of what kind of location / size you will get for that money.

1800 for very very small company
2000 for small to mid company
2400 for mid tier company
2700 for big 4
Btw I am sim grad plus acca partially qualified.
This is the salary range which the employer offer me.

Maybe SGD2500 is for local graduate. Recently read newspaper stating that fresh graduates from local uni demand for 3K which is totally wrong according to employers.
