cause johor is the closest to sg?
and for convenience sake, it is easiest to obtain from there.
i even heard they have a counter just for this

hey...sifu and gurus...need some advice

i got a job offer for SGD3000....

there is no CPF offered as I'm foreigner ...

is this offer ok?..as in isit enough to survive in singapore as the accomodation alone will be SGD1000 dy...

please help to advise me on it...

background infor: I'm a malaysian currently working in malaysian and is planning to move there. This will include set up cost and all.

Why not enough? 1k is my monthly expenditure for room, transport and meals to live and work.

Hi, if you wants us to evaluate is this offer ok.. you need to provide us info like years of experience, what job level, what company/industry ..

3K might be low for a MNC's manager, but might be ok for a local company's Clerk..

Thanks!

Not bad lor... i only hav SGD2400...

like i said, by law you are not allowed to hold MY and SG licenses together. In Johor JPJ they will assume the moment you request for the extract, that you are converting to SG license (cos of the hundreds of thousands of Malaysians living in Johor working in SG). In other states they give you the benefit of the doubt.

rent utility room or share room lor, then accomodation will be half or even less of that.

Living in a Condo? $1,000 is a lot for accommodation.

As what sinner mentioned, you need to share more on your qualifications/experiences first - if you are a fresh grad, SGD3k is a decent/good deal. If you are experienced and already earning around RM4k+ in Malaysia, then I would rather look out a bit more first. FYI I just jumped job and I am still being mobbed with a lot of job offers... I think the market is quite good for IT BA/consultants so far.

*Surviving in SG on SGD3k is definitely do-able if that is what you wondering though. I started off at SGD3500 and I still managed to saved quite a bit during the time (stayed in HDB, one room to myself and I did not have to starve myself at all).

alrite..sounds good..at least got a good picture of if..

sgd1k seems too steep for a room?

at an apartment at chinatown nia...not even condo... worth it to pay this price?

fair enough...sorry that i din provide enuf infor.... my bad..

years of experience: 3yrs plus..
qualification: certified accountant
field & experience: Internal auditor fr Big 4 accounting/auditing firm

is the salary offered ok?..the company does not give CPF...

yeap..thats what i was wondering...i mean, would i be able to live comfortably and then have savings also (since they dun wan give CPF to me ).....

but its rather reasurring to hear from you tat sgd3k is liveable in singapore... guess i juz gotta control my spending...

i tink i shud not take up the accomodation costing sgd1k...its taking up too huge percentage of my pay...

2.4k??? can apply for EP meh?

Hello! According to this link: (thanks Noizy for the link)-http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/foreign-worker-levies/Pages/levies-quotas-for-hiring-foreign-workers.aspx

"employers are liable to pay monthly levies to hire employees who hold Work Permits or S Passes."

What about E passes? if i have an Epass, my employer does not have to pay for anything?
Thanks for your help!

Probably your medical checkup cost...

$1000 is cheap for a condo room.

If i am not mistaken, EP's dont have the kind of levy that WP and S Pass have due to the sg gomen discouraging firms from hiring ppl with those backgrounds.

Greats! So actually there is no "extra burden" for my employer right? (apart from paying my salary)

Fastreader why u spoil market. Internal auditors get paid at least 4k here. Especiallu with experience

My monthly surviving expenditure:
600 single room
300 for food. Breakfast 2, lunch 4 econ rice with fruit, 4 samethijg for dinner. Hdb area so food is cheap.
40 broadband 40 hp 20 for miscellaneous...
