Something wrong here. You can't rent any long term accommodation without proper immigration status (i.e., you need to get a work permit of some sort, otherwise you're not allowed to rent room or hdb). So your hiring formalities including application of the work permit must be done first.

Make sure your landlord seems like a reasonable person and not those who give all sorts of conditions like "you can only use washing machine once a month and that also only to wash 2 t shirts." Best is to find landlady who will cook for you, give food in return for 'services,' you can PM jitshiong to ask his experience in this.

Possibly everybody else in this thread, regardless men or wimminz. Except maybe a particular Oil&Gas senior manyzer Mac kid.

Wah wah now s$85k per month? Grats grats, didn't know such elite level got time to play LYN.

Depends if your role is short-term only (e.g. they only hiring you for a year to fill in for a lady on maternity), or if it is memang long term just that they want flexibility of hiring contract vs hiring perm.

Banking line: Contract is the first to go whenever there is any cost cutting exercise, or if your role getting outsourced to KL or China or India.

Having said that I guess local SG banks are slightly more stable in this aspect.

Must be lady boss ask him come to her office after everyone else gone home n exploit his body.

Walau you looking down on FionaJie?!? Her annual performance bonus alone can buy one HDB in cash.

Closing this tered, continue in new one.
