Not much to monitor, just spend till you're done then wait for the next pay day
Budgeting only necessary when you can actually save something

Meaning you're considering this move for a $1700 pay?

Crazy....they wont let you even if you want to

Delay your reply to company A
Don't make them go through the whole onboarding process just to have you choose another company la

Most likely they will pressure you to answer fast, then its up to you to push it back

If you feel its an important interview, why not just catch an earlier flight to make it?
Show how committed you are instead of making your employer change their timing

What qualifications does she have?

I see, well cant do anything about it now
Just follow up with the company

As Fiona's reply above, you see why I was asking those questions?
Segi would be considered a no-name college over here, her degree is in Internal Business (not sure what this is) and not even education related
I don't know a lot about teaching, but from what I understand in order to teach at private colleges you have to be either very experienced in your field or have very high paper qualifications (PHD, not degree)

I was hoping you'd answer something like Engineering/Mathematics so she can teach at primary school, wonder what she expects to be good enough to teach with a degree in Internal Business

Your fixed deposit gives you 7-8% interest?
It's not profit though, factor in currency depreciation

After that go Geylang for another hole

Might not be the case though, my passport was only valid for 1 more year when my EP was approved for 24 months
Perhaps the company is the one who applied for 12 months for some people, or MOM has their own reason to approve 12 months for some

My guess is MOM approving 12 months for some based on their forecast of the 1-2 year number of FT

8 year of full time experience, or is part of that part time?

Means you're close to 30 at least?
Hmm....very much dependent on yourself in that case, are you willing to work from the bottom again?
$2.5k would put you around the fresh grad level

Oh SPM grad, $1.8k is pretty good right
If you stay in MY you're gonna get RM1.8-2.2k only anyway

Oh cannot, who wants to hire a 18 year old guy as nanny?
He's at disadvantage compared to non-SPM grads in that case

Your post....is giving me cancer

You are asking if since EP holders need to be above 3.3k, does that mean all "execs" are above 3.3k?
Answer is no, cause almost every fresh grad position now is tagged with an "executive" title (accounts executive for example)

MOM doesn't play games with their words, 3.3k for EP just means exactly that
You can be working as an electrician and get an EP if your pay is above 3.3k and they want you

What you're saying now isnt what you asked earlier, you asked about being an "exec" and getting the EP
Company pay you below 3k and apply does mean MOM approve it

EP is given my MOM, not by your company
You company will usually apply that for your

Can, still subject to MOM's approval of course
