Speak for yourself. Lots of us here come to Singapore on a competitive wage, not "my skills are crap so you pay me less than a sinkie I oso happy" nonsense.

That said.. the mentality is there though.

I wish I am underpaid. Now I can't afford a condo, but can't qualify for a HDB. Thinking of asking my wife to quit her job so that we can qualify for a HDB.

Hey guys,

I've been looking through the SG job market alot more recently due to the current situation in Malaysia. However, i dont think i have a handle on the more subtle things.

Im currently working in Malaysia as an Auditor for BDO. Im an ICAEW student, and am looking to complete my professional papers this November (I might have to go against my firm and take all 3 papers instead of just 2, which would probably mean i will need to leave the firm).

I read a few pages back that PMET jobs are harder to get these days, may i know how hard is it to get Accounts or Auditor jobs these days in SG. What other options do you guys have in mind, or if you know any lubang.

Im personally ok with any accounting, finance or sales job. Salary 2.2k and above can liao. Main thing is get my feet in SG first.

Thanks a ton.

Applyla. If can get ma get lor

Single or attached? Other half residing in SG also?

Single: make friends, join social groups, go cycling, take 170 bus to City Square enjoy cheap S$5 movies
Couple: plenty of stuff to do

My partner and I love travelling and she loves road trips in particular (typical Singaporean girl), for long weekends usually we drive North. Been to Malacca so many times, to KL a few times, wanna try driving up to Hat Yai one day.  laugh.gif Other than that you can take a ferry to Batam (cheap seafood cheap weekend getaway) or Bintan.

SG50 NDP... LOL I will always remember I got stuck 5.5 hours in the jam. Mother of all Jam!

Funny how most of it sounds abt getting out.

one of my concern is tat i plan to change to citizen

left aside whether i will suceed or not, but at the mean times, i m interested with one of property back in malaysia

so to save all the trouble, i come out with an idea, just directly apply singapore loan, so even i changed citizenship, i will save the hassle

or anyone got same experience but apply for malaysia loan ? would it be troublesome in the future when u wanna convert ?
*
U cant own a property when converting to sg citizen if im not mistaken

Prospls advise?

Hi

Without considering performance as a factor, is it true to say msians stand a lesser chance or even may not get promoted as comapared to a singaporean?

Also

In most professional settings.. No.

Though there was some bias in my big 4 environment previously because they needed local singaporean managers to bid for certain govt audits. But its minor at best and generally wont affect much
