You can ask the head hunter what is the package like, etc and they will provide you with a range.

headhunter or hiring Co offered you? it makes lots of difference

Alot different? i thought normally is headhunter do the hunting job on behalf of hiring Co? what is the different?mind share?

Still no news from any job portal.. sad...

Any1 here with 2 years total xp in software developer gets above 3.6k SGD?

wanna to research current market salary..

tayhaithian in IT line, 7k fresh grad and 13k after couple of years. Best is to PM him find out exactly what he does cos I'm not sure whether he is software development line.

yeah same for my fren too

deodorant, not everyone is as elite as tayhaithian. He's like the top 1%? How many fresh grad gets RM7K, not to even mention SGD 7k!

Poor people don't have a lot of cash, really. 1% interest rate of 100 only 1 dollar per year. Most of my cash went into early pay off of my house loan here, better off. Left few months of expenditure in saving accounts for rainy days which I put in OCBC for convenience of withdrawing money and internet banking.

If you want liquidity from fix d, break the sum into smaller parts, then choose different maturity periods so that they mature at different time. If you got 50k, then 10k 24 months, 10k 18 months, 10k 12 months, 10k 6 months, 10k 3 months, so every quarter or what you got money to do whatever you want. It take some time and patient for this to work. Op for the monthly maturity one if you really have problem managing the cash flow. I have been doing this for few years for the down payment for the second house I and my fiance planning to buy. Recently we lump together all the money and make 3 3-month maturity so each month we got cash at hand for the down payment and rubbish fees. Fix d interest rate + flexibility .

For emergency case, better buy insurance than saving it on your own.

Hi, I have gotten the IPA letter for my EP. However, my passport will expire on March 2014. Does it mean that the expiry date of my EP will only up to March 2014? can i renew the passport now? (the IPA letter has already registered with my current passport number)

although you're not into IT, we know you make a lot from songlap

in sg, with a low interest environment i believe should take your sweet time to pay your loan back while you take your cash to invest in something which offers higher yields..

no lor, for hsbc min is $25k as they are promoting their advance acct, so have to put one lump sum... so i mix between diff banks lor

yea... got insurance liao, investment savings/life, 32 critical etc etc, medical, ntuc income, ntuc membership.. yada yada.. all these pushers

congrats bro... welcome to the club

msia's immigration will question you and might even reject your renewal.. i suggest you continue and renew later to avoid complications..

pm mackiddo or deodorant for VIP expat club membership... enjoy cash upfront upon approval, absolutely free, no gimmick... dont know whether there's still slots available or not as it is very exclusive

Urrm, is there any way for Malaysians to open a bank account in Singapore without deposit? When to OCBC earlier and they told me that I need to deposit at least SG1000. Wonder if its the same for other bank..

my company have relationship with uob and stanchart.. no deposit required for acct opening, no min monthly balance fees, free balenciaga pen

For EP holders, DBS no need deposit, open account with zero balance also can, however you will need to top up to $1000 sooner or later otherwise kena $2 monthly fee.

POSB also no need deposit

Yes you can.
When you come over to Sg, bring along your old passport to verify that you are that person.
That was what I did when I came.
I renew my passport 1 week before coming to Sg too.

headhunter always bring job-seekers round botanical garden see see flowers, butterflies. they are merely sort of a 'match-maker'. pooling up flowers & butterflies

not in position to commit, can't even give a yes or no answer to your queries.

but it still would not change the EP validity/expiry date in IPA issued.

what is the period granted? you should see it in your IPA(employee copy). its at 1st col, 4th row (below the application date).
i believe it the same format as mine for renewal (just received it yesterday)

the IPA just ties to individual...in the case for us foreigners, it will be the passport.
if you renew your passport, you are still the same person.
all u need to do is prove that the passport number in the IPA is you, there is no issue.

The IPA is only to allow you to start work before completing the process and getting your card while on visitor pass
You being able to enter SG is not the business of MOM...tat would be your own problem.
There is also a condition that one must have a valid visit pass.

the period of the EP is either 1 or 2 years generally based on the form the employer fill up and whether MOM grants it
should have nothing to do with your passport expiry (unless your passport is already expired, then I have no experience with this).
