Need to factor in AWS and bonus ma... I'm a low paid engineer 

Good to hear that its a smoke.

I think they still prefer to hire foreigners because Singaporeans asking price too high and don't last long at the job,.

But the thing is, I am scared about is the working culture there. They can be quite merciless, right?

In my job, I communicate with a lot of Singaporean regional people, I find them quite demanding about deadlines. Do they like got very merciless methods to remove staffs they don't like? Well, can expect there is very competitive.

Also I don't speak mandarin, is that a disadvantage?

prefer if can have a real valid ones   

but have to made do with whatever i have. If anyone can help me, i would really appreciate it

Google have fail me. Cant find a single that lead to the shipyard divison
I also planning to use linkedin as last resort. I do hear a few comment by onlybto use linkedin as last resort
Because linkedin is like a private account for . some and you suddenly msg them for vaccancy is like disturbing them

So far no commitment issues.  But kazak? What they are doing thre?

Well any help is a good starting points. Thanks

Will do it later tonite. Now have to go settle a few matter with my final project

May i know what infor u may need?

top keppel engineer is lurking in here for quite a while already, yet you never notice him

Hi all, I'm planning to immigrate to Singapore with my wife and from what I read so far the process should be like
1. Find a job and get a work permit.
2. Apply dependent's visa for my wife.
3. Apply for PR.

Is that correct? Anything I miss?

By the way, I have more than 10 years of working experience in software development and wondering if IT job market is good there?

well, sadly to say, i'm none of it.
1. highest qualification spm
2. go in office at 9am, by 4pm out of office already
3. maybe still got hope

Dunno, justnow the way you wrote, I assumed that you were saying the MoM have a jobsite for foreigners to find jobs.

Thanks!

I think I'll assume only a year contract.

1) Rent - 600$ - 800$ (looking at single room if possible) Times 2.5 for deposit and agent fee. you can get cheaper if you stay far a bit, or find those maid room
2) Transport - 100$
3) Food - 300$ You really need to control well, possible if u eat hawker for lunch and dinner, and drink milo+eat biscuit in office morning
4) Bank account minimum deposit - 1000$  I just tried POSB EP account.You don't need any deposit, however it will charge $2 if the money inside is less than 1k, which I believe is a worth trade off.

That's 3.4k$. So I guess after adding in miscellaneous fees, phone plan and money to spare it's around 4k$/RM10k then.
Follow up question:  phone plan take prepaid first for first few months, cost you quite low..take postpaid only if you want to change phone

Any way around any of these at all?

1) Rent - 600$ - 800$ (looking at single room if possible) Times 2.5 for deposit and agent fee. Stay with someone I know if possible.
2) Transport - 100$ No way around this I think.
3) Food - 300$  Eat less? lol.
4) Bank account minimum deposit - 1000$ Need professional advise on this.
FYI no I don't have a job secured yet. But I'm looking at relocating next year, so will have to manage my RM savings. Just traveled a bit lately so savings kinda low for now.

My prediction is $300 for the first month nia. 2nd-3rd month onwards you'll be spending about S$25-30 per day on food, meaning close to about$750 on food.

One can only eat food court that many times... before one starts craving for fast foods (about $7-10) or some of the "entry" level restaurants at $10-$15.. then it'll become a norm, and before you know it, you're blowing $30 at a ramen/korean restaurant in tanjung pagar...

Yeah, I have 1 condo & paying for 2 cars, one for my own and another for my parents. so RM 3500 is the right amount I spent.
Commission is vary i assumed so can't really count that. lunch break I have yet to ask. Thanks for pointing that out.
I did, I asked for at least $3900 but was denied. They did however promise me an increment of $250 after probation, but that is 6 months later.
I actually need to make decision by end of the month so I can tender my resignation properly. sigh~

Elo,I planning to work in singapore next year >.< but im not sure whr or how to find place to stay. plus how to apply job if im not even pr?

Hi Guys,

My first posting here, I hope I can get some thoughts from you all. I live in JB and have around 10 years of IT experience working in overseas+KL. Just relocated to JB and thought about trying out Singapore market. My questions:

1. Can I include my JB address and Malaysian number in my cv, or do I need a permanent singaporean address and number (which I don't)?
2. Any proven recruitment agencies that I can contact?

How do you all (Malaysians) secure jobs in Singapore?

Share me your thought, sifus

Hey recently a few of my friends who accepted job promotion transfers by their multinational companies from Malaysia to Singapore got rejected by MOM. Reason being no degree.

Then those with degree, still got their transfers WIP because Ministry of Manpower still pondering over their applications.

So if we apply directly to employer, we won't be subjected to Ministry of Manpower scrutiny right?

Hi, want to ask, when first moving to SG for work, what are the things we should bring over and what should we buy over there in SG ?

I will be renting and was wondering if the cost of many small things like bedding, sheet, hangers, kettle etc etc etc have a noticeable price diff ?

Currently bringing cloths, documents, electronics, light toiletries only.

Don't say some la... Later he bring 100SGD only. 100SGD no need 1 week also finish d

what is GG?

They reject one of my friend because no degree.

Another few pending application to be reviewed. Been 3 months already. Looks like Singapore discourage people from getting transfer by MNC to Spore office to get job unless that person is an Ang Moh.

4. Change of government's policy. EP renewal in the same company with higher salary and experience also have a chance to be rejected.
