I was in the same shoe last time, i'm an Industrial Engineering student. But i don't know what i want, so i just do whatever that was assigned to me.
Lucky for me, now i know so i'm on track, but it's far from Industrial Engineering that i've studied for.

EE is a very broad field, look at people you aspire to be in the future and follow their footsteps. You gotta have a goalpost, then only u know where you need to shoot.

That's a very good insight and advice coming from a 1st hand experienced person, much appreciated:)...yeah, i'm trying to be flexible here to explore all the possible opportunities esp in this economic situation, i believe in never try, never know...Hope i can get some luck at least to get an opportunity to fiddle around in EE field with while i'm young, don't want to regret in my older ages:P Thanks.

I thought you mechanical one?

EE mean electrical and electronic? If electrical then singapore power. Or join consultants to design the power plants and household electricity. Electrical engineers make good money. Electronics some are manufacturing, some research, sales etc... very broad... need to ask the ee guys for recommendations.

Hi JohnJon,
Yeah i saw many opportunities in electrical, was thinking going into that field instead of the semiconductor field which are mostly manufacturing, small portions of design and research. Do they take entry level electrical engineer though?

i study similar stuff like ee but ended up in it lol..

They do take in entry level. Need to find the comapnyies only. I not familiar with electrical works but I see their boss drive big cars. Entry level consultants always sucky pay and long hour though. Like jitshiong said, u need to be clear what u want to do. If not wasting time around.

Course of study is Mechanical Engineering - Industrial. More on industrial.
But now do M&E.

Glad to be of help.

Nice

Hey guys, I just got an offer to work in Singapore and am really excited for it!

Work place is Raffles Place so any recommendations for location of accommodation? Budget is +/- $800.

Anywhere on green line or red line within ~10 mrt stops will be good.
Go for stops with (relatively) big town centers, example Bedok, Tiong Bahru, Toa Payoh, Ang mo kio.
PM MacKiddo or Lester1987 to be added to the malaysians in SG whatsapp support group for more immediate answers to questions.

Thanks for the reply. Will do once I get my starting date and E-pass is settled.

Hi all, a quick check with those that have been staying SG for sometimes. Will there be any significant difference on the room rental between areas along the green or red line vs yellow or purple line? I understand that Bedok is a mature area (most of my friends staying around that area), but honestly speaking, I am not really keen of that area, very crowded. Please advise.

FYI, I received an offer to work in SG and now waiting for my E-Pass. My work place is at Bugis.

Then PM alaskanbunny, he is forgot which real estate agency senior associate director, very good to help you find room or proper place to stay.


Estates in singapore are trade off between crowd and facilities. Honestly as far as mature areas go with a lot of facilities Bedok considered not crowded liao. Tampines on the other hand ... people mountain people sea. And anyway I don't see any difference whether you stay in Bedok or (for example) in Kembangan. Peak hour MRT will be equally crowded as fugg. Housing area is basically the same. Core difference is in Kembangan you wanna do anything oso can't cos there's no supermarket no shopping mall etc.

welcome to the good life ..

Thx for the tips. Basically, my thought is to find a place that is, well a bit peaceful maybe. Anyhow, I have not been to Tampines for quite a while, so dont know how bad it is. But have to agree that the crowd in MRT, especially peak hour, is crazy. Guess that is the welcome sign to Singapore working life,

There's a group for this? Can I join? Just started working here.

I stay at Lavender. Its less crowded since its more to an outskirt office area with some hdbs. I don't like neighbourhood with bus and mrt interchange stations. Best to stay in walking distance from office to avoid the mrt crowd.

Only the riches can enjoy a peaceful quite surrounding in Singapore. Fiona Chin, how's life staying in a 3 storey house with private pool?

Hi, am I still stand a chance in securing a job in singapore under the new strict regulations on foreigners? I am recently graduated from AUS uni and my academic result is around average (~70%), second upper class honours from bachelor of chemical engineering. I am looking for job position such as production/process engineer in food/pharmaceutical industries. I do not mind starting as a technician as long as it is a prestigious organisation which provides good career advancement.

Also, which employment pass I would get if I do get offer from singapore company? EP or S Pass? I have googled on this matter and apparently S Pass is for mid-level skilled worker with minimum salary of $2200 whilst EP is for professional with salary over $3300.

This is Singapore, everywhere is crowded

Off central Singapore is also OK crowd wise and facilities near-by, just that MRT is not close by (one or two bus stops away), - areas like Whampoa, Jalan Rajah, Balestier, St George, McNair if you fancy.
