yes as richard mentioned, there's the majority there, BUT I'll advice u to stay away from medium if u want more balance, cuz medium firm people like to speak chinese among themselves, so unable to understand chinese would be a disadvantage unless u're the very engaging type.

Cuz when they speak chinese and u don't understand, eventhough its just casual chat, you bound to miss out on a fair share of informal and indirect learning from the seniors and managers.

Sad but its the truth.

Agree thumbup.gif

But is good to learn up Mandarin, China is opening up, Many Singaporeans and Malaysian are opening factories and businesses there. And they dont trust China's Chinese.

It would be a lucrative job to head the finance dept there; salary report as high as USD3000 - USD20000. Depending on the scale of the project.

Haha... the one between management level and non-management level... juggling both management and hands-on work+light review work.

I wouldnt use that.. Cause supervisor should only supervise right?

I felt that the title is very very misleading..

But in actual fact.. you do a lot of little things and a little of big things.... rclxub.gif

Probably not advisable to plan that way, unless the Big3 really don't accept u at the moment then no choice.

PWC applied early last week, until now no news also
