hi, if i get the offer from small audit cum account cum tax firm from singapore and big 4 in jb, which one should i choose from? Kindly give me some advise. Thanks.

hey guys, if let say i get an offer in singapore and i quit after few months and go back to malaysia, will this affect my future application on working permit/S pass/Employment pass?

hi guys, I went to an audit assistant interview today at a small/mid audit firm.
And the employer said he can offer me $2k.
But the problem is, now is getting harder and harder to apply S pass.
He said my case most likely will be work permit.
But i did the self assessment in MOM websites for employment/ S pass,
The result shows that "Based on the information you have provided, the individual is likely to qualify for both Employment Pass (EP) and S Pass."
So i would like to know whether I am able to apply S pass successfully?
Actually I am graduated from SIM and study ACCA in Kaplan Singapore.
And, is it true that the S pass is not issuing anymore?

ya, i am wondering too.
When he told me that he can only apply work permit for me,
I did ask him and tell him that i should be able to apply S pass.
Then he said no no no, is either EP or WP.
And another company told me the same S pass is very very difficult to apply and renew nowadays.

But the levy of work permit is higher than S pass.

The salary range different in term of different size of company. Big 4 offer 2.7k, mid tier around 2.4k, small to mid offer 2k to 2.3k, small co normally offer 1.8k.

I am partially qualified acca, i fail my last two papers just by few marks.

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.

Erm.... Ya, very very small firms offer me in the next day but I rejected in the end bcos the firm is too small and let me feel that is bao ka Liao. The audit team is about 5 person. Somemore, one of the firm want to bond me for two years.

oh, is it? thats high.but i think jb has no MNC?
if i want to have a better future prospect, what company do you think i should start off?
MNC or audit firm?
is the accountant of mnc responsible for a small part of whole account?

Nowadays super difficult to get a job in singaporr as a foreigner. Few companies intend to hire mr but rejected me in the end due to the pass issue.

The ratio for work permit now has dropped from 25% to 20% now for service industry.
A fresh grad shOuld get a $3000 salary to apply EP. Si for those EP holders, do u guys face difficulties when renewing the EP pass?

EP has no quota. But now they increase the requirement in order to get EP

Not really for current situation. I have degree plus part acca yet the company said my chance is slim unless I get my acca qualification first.

There is a quota for S pass. It's same as work permit. The problem for that co is no more quota for foreigners
