hmmm.. till he converts to Singaporean it seems like quite expensive for him to maintain his family here.

Good Day everyone,

I am an instrumentation  and electrical engineer that have 2 years mining design&site experience. Just a bit curious, anyone here by any chance work as a service engineer for marine and offshore? Since this is a new working field to me (compared to my previous experience in mining), can someone share their experience with me, please?

Currently a company offered me SG 3.5k as a service engineer, is that salary alright in that field?
(company is P&C, please do not ask)

Thank you.

I am working offshore, but not in marine products. and I am a service engineer as well. for 2 years I think it's around that price. I think the range is 3.5k to 4k. Besides that, I think we still have allowance in the end. So mainly we are earning more with that.

Working condition might be harsh and travelling will be very often. Might not be able to plan your holidays and other stuffs. Less time to spend with your loved ones. That's all I can say. Working wise, maybe someone in the company or same field can share more with you. =)

Thank you for sharing your experience  . Well, mining didnt really have much of a life than work. So one less thing to worry, i guess. Not a proud thing to share that engineers dont have life  . Maybe spending time with love ones might be a bit of a concern.

I am guessing my life would be like my dad. My dad use to work at rigs as a geologist. 7 day week, no family life. Teach his son how to read well logs at age 9 so he can get more people to help him.

there are pros and cons whether to send your child to a care center or a nanny

care center will provide more interactivity with peers...but the downside is the kid will not have 100% attention from the caregiver (1 caregiver multiple kids) and also higher chances of getting infected with disease (depends on how u look at it, it may be a good thing as it helps to immunize your kid)

nanny looking after the kid will allow the kid to have 100% attention, less disease from infections but the interaction will most likely be bound to the kid and the nanny only since it is 1:1

so it all depends on which 1 the parents prioritize.
i basically grew up in a child care center...was healthy all the way.

Eh, you convert to singkie?

P2

Do you mind if I ask, where are you graduated from?

Care to elaborate what's the difference between P1 & P2?

Also, what's the income tax structure? 15%?
