3 yrs experience consider as experienced hires i think? yet cant find a banking job.all ask the same question:do you have rights to work in sg? ...

Any investment bankers or hedge fund managers working in Singapore now? Wanna know more about their culture as I heard it differentiates from the western countries very much.

The workloads? Some say due to the not so develop yet industry, most analysts do more works other than just using Excel...

Are you talking about IBs in Singapore or western side?

I'm just curious why would white be KC ing with management. They don't need to!

Lift must be sad for you to be happy on others' sorrow.

Thanks.

Eat chap fan everyday is pretty miserable. Just curious...what is the average cost like for phone line/transport expenses montly ?

Poorfag like me can oni take mrt

Some pay a big sum of sign up bonus or the end serving rewards attractively.

Wow, 2-4k is kinda low. But I guess the same thing does happen in Malaysia as well. But 7-15k is kinda attractive for me. Back in 2010 I did tried to apply to Singapore. Send in many application but none came back. Thus I'm worried is it because I only have an accounting degree from UTAR thus not favorable by SG employers. Subsequently got another job in MY till now. Now I'm looking at SG again.

Same industry, different specialty. Similar company types. Among the specialties, the one in SG is supposed to pay the highest (industry norm).

I'm well aware you can't compare figures directly, even after tax what the Australian graduate can get is ridiculously higher than any of the grads in neighbouring countries (with a few exceptions). Just that I had been expecting a bit more from the SG side (to maybe be on par with what a Malaysian in KL would get).

I heard that someone here working in banking industry and manage to jump from 2k starting salary to 100k pa in just 3 years. Mind to teach or share your journey?

Seriously that could be very helpful to people like me who just join the bank and having a personal banker role.

Willing to treat a meal(food court, I only could afford that)

Thanks in advance, sifu

I'm also interested to learn more, seems like banking sector in Sg attracts the cream of the crop, while engineering is where those who cannot make it in banking go to.

Any chance for an engineering grad working in a local sg company to join the banks and make 100k in 3 years? Or how long would it take?

Anyone able to response about this 

You can google more for it but in summary, firms must give priority to Singaporeans before hiring foreign talent eg advertising for two weeks to get singaporeans before opening to foreing talent.

Announced last year.

Hope you guys can help me out here. Is Accountant in demand in Spore job market ? Thanks.

Hi Sean, does this system of two salary scales of hiring apply to your company alone or most companies practice that ? Thanks.

Hello guys,
I got offered (confirmed) job in Singapore with start date January 2015 and I'm in doubt whether to proceed or not. For I have no idea what it would be like there.

The offer sound like this:
Basic : $3500 + $150 phone allowance + 3% - 7% commission based on target, reimbursement transportation & other claimable misc
Work hours is 9am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday & 10am to 1.30pm Saturday
Company: SPH

My concern is: $3500 monthly, is it enough to survive?

I've read this thread partly and found that a decent single room is already costing $800 - thats already 20% of my salary
I can't imagine what else is there to consider.
And the work hours is kinda bit too much. I don't know, what do you guys think?

My current package here in Malaysia:
More or less RM 5000 take home monthly, not much but considering I am home that's enough for me.
Monthly my expenses are rather same thus I would have left around RM 1500 till my next salary drawing every month.

So I still am doubting, whether I should take the offer or not. Your advise? 

Yeah..

Will start on mid jan.

Great! ..

I am already peak now.. october year end client.,
