Hi All!

Recently got an offer from a PR agency from Singapore as community manager for one of their clients here in Malaysia. So i would be employed by a SG company but able to work from home. (I Know, awesome right?)

My problem is... I have no idea what to ask for in terms of salary.

Normal community managers in MY is around RM3-5k, Currently im getting about RM3500 (full-time) but i know PR agencies are slightly higher. Would it be fair for me to request about SGD3-4K for contract position?

Dont want to be paid same like what they pay bangla at 711.

Please help.

Ah I see what you did there.

Why no people keep their money in the world's local bank eh? So sad, job at stake.

wow...asked my remittance agent and the rate today is 2.50!

normally i transfer to their dbs current account and they will do the necessary arrangement and charge only sgd10 as service charge. anybody know if there is any other of such money remittance agent where they willing to receive the money via online?

Placement Amount Interest Rate(p.a.)
12 Mths
S$5,000 to S$49,999 0.25%

HSBC FD 0.25% only eh. Got better rate/product to Sharing is Caring?

Ask for what you think worth for you, plus it is a contract position, should able to get higher than perm position.they offer you they should give you the figure they wish to offer you.

2.50 at yew tee mrt ex-change. an hour ago. best rate since the day i step foot on this little red-dot

you came here less than a year?? last year around this period or year end i guess, I manage to change 2.51 back then in JB.

If talking about bank deposit in SG then I using Maybank time deposit. They used to be the best rate last time, never do any research now, mainly because my saving is too small for the 1% extra interest difference to be significant. Saving in the time deposit for liquidity only (with some strategy).

Last time when I have one lump sum, I saved in oz time deposit, used to be like 6-7%. Also moved most of my saving there when its 1 sgd to 0.9 aud. Earned 30% due to the exchange rate when it jump to 1.2 in a short while, then move back to pay my loan. Now left with peanuts I just leave it there in oz, around 3-4% now and aud is dropping... The extra cash I have now I dump it all to the house loan. A bit unhappy got restrictions to buy stocks, easy money...

Another good choice as they always say, top up your cpf.

bangla may make little $$$ but it is a decent job...

yeaps.. reasonable good luck


i did hsbc for 9 months, 3 renewals.. they gave 0.9-1% each time.. problem is it is a 3 month fd

scb on the other hand, didnt have to locki... it is a savings topup and if you pull out earlier you still get something based on daily avg bal..

So should definitely go for 3-4k, since im giving up some benefits (currently work at YTL) for this. Thanks!

did it touch 2.51!! probably a short time and i miss that.
been here since ex was at 2.22 when i rm-ex my first sgd pay back then.

you apply for the job or they headhunt you? if they headhunt you let them offer you salary first...hehe

good for u

Anyone here doing business in SG?
Me just started my own company. All the best to u guys in SG as well.

which area of biz?
good luck to u

They offer me via linkedin.. in that case i just wait for offer then. Hopefully is not so low. Don't want to be taken advantage of just because im malaysian.

Maybe you can ask them what they offer you. not sure about headhunt process, but sometime take initiative can add mark.good luck!!
