Anyone with a UTAR degree working in SG? Is it recognized? I have a accounting degree from UTAR ( no other professional qualification ). Not fresh grad though.

rclxms.gif hi i m frm utar too.

In terms of applying for working permit with MOM i believe they r recognized by sg government. but this is different frm your accounting professional board etc, which you need to check by yourself.

if engineering i can help u check, but business stream i m totally clueless.  blush.gif

Wish you luck coming to sg

Btw which yr u graduated?

Graduated in 2009, but already have close to 10 years experience because i got mine on part-time basis.

What is the salary range for accounting ppl with 7-10 yrs experience? I checked in jobsdb n jobstreet, the range seems very wide.

$2-4k if he's still an exec after 7-10 years (there are many like these by the way), to $7-15k if he's already a manager to director (these guys are far fewer).

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.

The link you have is a not working.

But from the same site, it says that the median fresh graduate salary for accounting is A$50K. Whereas the median for all fields of study is $52K.

That's about 4K a month, which isn't much better compared to SG.

Oh yeah? Jual mahal these singaporeans employers, huh? Have such a talented foreigner like you and how dare they don't hire you!  They should be thankful that they even breath the same air as you! Damn them! Get a job in msia instead! Teach them a lesson and show them what they are missing out! Make them beg you to hire you thereafter!

huh???
