anywhere near to office

SG is "Sterilized Asia." The only place that qualifies as 'dodgy' is probably only Geylang. Other than that, your choices are between Mature estates (with older, pricier accommodation and a lot of facilities like eateries, malls, town centers, etc), and new estates (newer, cheaper accommodation but sacrifice on convenience).

Was thinking that until I saw that apparently shenton way is equivalent to the the KLCC area?

If stay walking distance to work, sure exp to the max.

nope, that was without promotion..
i got a 20% increment when i got promoted to a senior, then the year after i receive 14%, and followed by 10%.
dunno what its gonna be like for this year.

Wow. thanks for this advice. While saying dodgy, I have places like Bukit bintang cheap flats and those in Jelatek which has Myanmar Expats screaming down the block etc. I know these are some of my friends working Pet but still can stay there.

Can you be so kind to name me 3 good areas which are like SS2, PJ or wangsa maju area? Real clean, close to MRT and convenient

4-4.5k is good enough already. If you dun splurge I think U will definitely save more than 1k. Which company in Shenton Way? I will be working around there too. Still finding place to stay while waiting for EP to be approved.

UGPM

toa payoh, tiong bahru, commonwealth, queenstown are decent places.

Got it! Now I know what to filter out on ibilik.sg.

Thanks2

Anyone faces this dilemma before?

If converted to Singaporean, can we still withdraw money from our EPF account in Malaysia?

hi guys i would like to seek advice on when is the best time to apply jobs in singapore ?

I have graduated in october as an electrical and electronics engineer in kuching. I have gone 3 months internship in kuching as well. I have applied 25-30 jobs so far but so far no reply . is it the wrong time to apply ?

I have applied engineering jobs in jobstreet and jobstreet. Any tips and advice that you guys can give ?

I would like to start my career in singapore.

If you willing to take SME companies, I see no problem..
They like overseas, especially Msia people if you can speak chinese+ a bit hokkien

for MNC...you can try your luck..my friend with 2nd lower cls just secured a position in Baker..while another got in M1..all pay more than 3k..consider good as freshie..

i believe most employer would prefer someone who are present in SG and readily available for interview, and adding a local(SG) contact number to your resume would improve your chance. and when you come to SG, please bring along all your certs (including your birth cert), so you can submit them for permit application without have to go back and forth.
