Guys, anyone staying in Tampines area?

After months of depositing resume  finally manage to secure an interview and got my offer  rclxms.gif

Little advice for fellow Malaysian who intending to work here, get yourself a Singapore address and number and put them in your resume
It does make a difference for me, but it's only applicable when you are unemployed tongue.gif

Global management consulting firm, Hay Group, says new graduates can expect to earn a higher starting base salary compared to last year's cohort.

It said they can expect two per cent more in their base salaries.

Hay said the average starting monthly pay for a general degree holder is about 2,700 dollars.

This goes up to almost 2,900 dollars for those with second upper honours.

The survey showed that one in six employers placed an average monthly premium of 185 dollars for local university graduates compared to non local university graduates.

Hay said its latest survey revealed that jobs in Project Management ranked at the top, commanding the highest average starting salary of 2,900 dollars a month for general degree holder, followed by jobs in Engineering and Research & Development.

But really, when you move up the hierarchy the distinction between finance and engineering diminishes because its about business development and asset management.

No lor, cause engineering companies are usually small.. Unlike banks.. If you manage. 100mill coy vs 10bill, compensation will be totally diff..

Hello guys, I hope you guys can help me please.
I just got a professional job offer from a company in Singapore. My company location is near Chinatown at Magazine Road.

So, right now I am trying to find an affordable place less than S$ 1000 to stay.

Anyone of you have any good accommodation recommendations or room to share?

I know that on the 1st page of this forum there are some websites with the accommodation links but I hope that I can stay with Malaysian.

I am a male Malaysian Chinese from Sarawak.

Thanks you. icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

Does that meant if foreigners, they cant even qualify for EP? Min requirement is $3k.

Anyway, finally ICA approved my PR after 2 months waiting. Another low pay, no skill worker added to PR pools laugh.gif

I do remember the temporary IC slip contains an "issue date" which is the same date as the formalities date.
