Hi guys.
Anyone want to rent a common room at Simei? Only 300 meter to MRT station. I will be moving out end of Oct and you can deal direct with landlord. Nice cantonese speaking couple btw.

how do fresh grads get jobs in sg mnc? i see most jobs are only for pr and sg residents.

btw, if have degree, do i apply for accounts exec or assistant?

It depend on ur luck. Most of the mnc they only want to hire experience candidate. Thats why u need to hv more related experience. Im currently working in germany mnc engineering company. I got this job is because I hv japanese mnc experience. So gain some experience 1st

How come my friend told me that EP Q1 is increased to min 3.3k per month salary on this year june? No longer min 3k. Even though we get the EP doesnt means that sg govt wouldn't change new limit for each level of pass. Today u got EP doesn't mean that after 2years u will still get EP! Not to say PR. After I came here 4months plus... I feel like whatever pass also not important if u r not plan to get PR!

I only have a few months of working experience (7 months to be precise). Quite despo tongue.gif
So is the avg salary 2k or am I being underpaid? Do they give lower salaries to Malaysian?

I think im underpaid. And, I found my jobs very easy and not achieved my standard. Is a waste for me to continue my work in my current company! Will try to find a job asap!

Depend on the type of work you do, you may be required to work at odd hours, midnight, early morning so you can have an online meeting with your colleague overseas. Don't worry about their sleep and life, its always you staying up for the online meeting. And your local boss expect you to come to work at 9am the following day to have a meeting about your meeting yesterday night. Working hour is long, very long but I think you will do ok coming from engineering, 24 hour contactable, forget about movies, concerts and gatherings.

Boss comment on the brand of your dress, bags, the car you driving, even the place you stay so to paint a picture to outsiders they are doing very well to attract more talented people into the industry and also to their clients.

These are what I gathered from my coursemates who worked at ang moh investment banks, one of which one of my very good friend from uni so I don't think she is hiding or boasting anything. Went for one US IB before graduate just to see what they will be offering and partly due to peer pressure but never take up the offer, but still end up working in bank sweat.gif . Bankers look good if you look at the money side. I don't get satisfaction doing my work, its feel like only helping the rich getting richer. Want to do something more meaningful like doctor, dentist or engineer, maybe nurse too wub.gif helping those who really needed it.

Im currently working in European mnc. I dont found what is so good u mentioned. Maybe different company do have different practice. My company do not allow us to stay ot. To avoid paying taxi fares and meal! Totl up is less than 12 dollar thot! They are very culculative. When comes to business they can allow company to loss below 8k just for penalty charges!
