Just bite the bullet and take the low pay first. Slowly climb up the ladder. Entry level you need to take note you are fighting among the rest of the nationals like Philippines, China and India.

Best is to start in those small company that "one leg kick all". Pick up as much skill as you want and 3 years down the road focus on the skill that you are keen and go for it.

Exactly what in my mind...but it tough hunting job tho.. as a foreigner.. >< ><

i know but the wait is really killing people
there's not much i can do except keep sending resumes
at the same time i feel like my time is wasted cause I'm doing nothing else
I'm giving myself 2 months to get a job there but of course i hope i will hear from them asap

Since you do not want to simply change job in Sg (it's troublesome for non PR), you should look into job scope and its contribution to your career development as well. IMO without taking any other thing into consideration, I won't take 3.7 to 2.9 offer.

My gf got offered 2.5k sgd as freshgrad (she just graduated this June). She rejected it because of the job scope.

wow what course she's taking? It has been 3 months d for me..unemployed..feels like throwing resume to sea.. ><

I think equivalent to "Sales". Normally sales is low in basic but high in commission.

You have commission if able to get business for company?

it's sales and dont have commission... sad case haiz.. Fresh graduate price become so low..

$1.7k is pretty low. Gotta be prepared to live a pretty sad life quite frugally, transport, room rental and food alone will easily eat up 70+% of that, leaving you with not much in the way of luxury spending, shopping, entertainment, savings, etc. Up to you lor depends how desperate you are to get a foothold in SG, and whether you believe you are capable enough to rise through the ranks (relatively) quickly.

yea...still thinking actually.. having a hard time to decide..because recently is quite hard to get a job.. sad.gif sad.gif

I think I will reject the 1.7k offer.. since I found that the opportunity for me to develop the career path is not good and i dont think i can command big jump from a 1.7k. sad.gif

I don't know where you are getting to in guiding young couples to start a family in Singapore. Throwing in an X6 with a S$1.6Mil condo example; is analogous to killing the self-esteem of a guy struggling to decide a S$1.7k flat monthly pay.

85 to 90% of locals stay in Public Housing in Singapore and only the 60th decile and above owns a car. For all the intents and purposes of your post, it just suggests that you will either struggle to start a family young, or you just die trying. Extrapolating your "guide" attest to this.

Its ok..I've rejected the offer already..since I have nothing to lose so far.. waiting for a better opening.. smile.gif
