well is it your first job? for first job, it is not bad if join OPUS IT because you can get experience. but the increment is kinda low and you might consider to jump after one year. Just remember review the contract details before sign it.

Grats to you. Anyway EP appointment not interview. They will request you to take photo and fingerprint. the process kinda fast if got appointment make form your company.

Appointment supposed should be made by us la. Not by company. Company make one is force you to go at that time

I get to pick whenever I wanted to go with consent from my direct supervisor.

ya that why i say if got appointment make from your company..

How is the commute? I bet it is quite stressful!

Guys. How much is considered high working in SG?

I believe there is some difference between how much fresh grad is getting paid in Msia and SG.

Let's say, if you have 1.5 years experience, Msia offering RM4800, SG offering (3600, no cpf so +632 = total 4232sgd), which one to go for?

malaysia = IT operations work, permanent staff
SG = SAP implementation work, permanent staff + chance to travel.

You sure they will pay your cpf portion if you not pr? Most companies don't do that

Had my interview today. Two back to back one on one interviews. Not bad but not sure if they would want me or not.

That's the thing, because non-pr, thus no CPF. So the company is giving compensation directly as cash which is 17%o of the basic salary.

Pretty sure, coz that is part of the package offered. I thought all companies do this for non-pr, so, only a select few companies will do this (giving 17% of basic as cash) ?

imho go for SG offer.

Mind elaborating more on why?

Only if u r willing to sacrifice and squeeze yourself inside a small HDB room, no car to drive, and away from your gf, friends and family.

u can calculate out how much savings for both scenarios.
then compare the type of lifestyles, see which u prefer, the pros and cons.
then make your decision.

i am not from IT background so i ignore the factor of 'prospect' in this.

1. You will earn almost the same ignoring currency exchange, unless you spend every single cent you earn then i am quite sure you will save more in Singapore.

2. It's true you will miss driving, time with your family and etc thus you need to balance out what you want in your life. Sometimes money is not everything. I travel almost every weekend back to KL.

3. I read 'chance to travel' as another opportunity that you will gain on travel allowance.

Hello, still primary school? Can't decide your own future?

Your mileage may varies, all I want to say.

I just don't see anything wrong with getting some third person perspective.

http://sbr.com.sg/economy/news/singapores-...d-income-4-7870

Median household income $7870, so assuming you have two incomes in your house then $3935 is higher than 50% of the population liao.

because chance to travel

Now in Malaysia 1.5 years experience in IT can get RM 4800, pay so high now

You are still a Malaysian , PR is just a permanent resident which gives you a trial period for citizenship you may hold this trial period as long as you want if the Gov doesn't revoke your PR status.

PR must be renew every 5 years - it is just like you r driving license , you still hold the same driving license just that your eligibility on the road extends another 3- 5 years.

There's also basic T&C to ensure you can renew your PR.

Once you apply make sure you are serious about it , if you are given the approval you better accept it else you'll end up being black listed, getting black listed in Singapore is a very very thought to get out, so always think twice before doing alot of things.
