You sound like the type that agree "Orang gila saja tak faham kebaikan Ringgit jatuh" Even if prices remain the same, you think just because you're richer by 66% you can retire by 35?

QUOTE(funkyme @ Aug 31 2015, 01:32 PM) any of you guys encounter this during ur job application. Some will and some wont my friend got job offered in sg as engineer. back in interview stage..expected salary he put 2.5k.At the end of the day, the company offered him somewhere near 3k. he told me Sg got benchmark salary range, so never worried that they gonna low baller u ? Is that true ? Just put your real expected and you wont need to worry about things like that Did your friend put 2.5k on purpose thinking it would be easier for him to get the job? |

QUOTE(funkyme @ Aug 31 2015, 02:46 PM) yeah lol..he did that on purpose..thinking of getting into Sg first. Don't do that man....think of it properlyhe asked me to use the same trick lol..since will got benchmark also dilemma lol..dn know how Companies that will offer you higher than what you ask, do you think they will consider you more just because your asking is lower? On the other hand there are companies which will low ball you no matter what you ask, if you put 2.5k for a 3k job they will try to offer you 2k first. Then you put yourself in a tough position Just put what you really expect, but make sure what you're expecting is reasonable of course |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Sep 5 2015, 09:58 PM) Born, raised and educated here oso doesn't mean PR or Citizen what. All those expat angmoh on s$300k package before housing and international school benefits for their kids as if they will bother with sinkie blue NRIC. Yeah not 100% but I'd be extremely surprised if you spent 20 years in Singapore and still they reject your PR applicationWhats the point letting you study and work for 20 years if you don't want that person being a resident (Epass holder not work pass) |

QUOTE(the99percent1 @ Sep 6 2015, 12:23 AM) My parents used to live and work in SG for 10 years.. they born us here but registered as Msian citizen since the start. I have both Msian and SG birth certs. lol. In that case I think the fact you're merely born in SG is not a factor at allBut I only stay at SG for 2 years then 20+ years in KL and then furthered my study overseas.. So im hardly what you can consider as Singaporean. Only this year I've come and work here. Applied PR two months ago, kena reject.. Anyways, word of advice for others who want their Sons to escape NS, go and register them as Msian citizen from the start.. And with 6 months work experience, from what I've heard its a very high chance you'll get rejected unlike 5-6 years ago I'm planning to wait 1 year at least |

Planning to apply to SG if I cannot continue for ACCA. Jobs be like, fresh graduates with 10 years experience You just have to be willing to be underpaid, thats the most important |

QUOTE(XiuKeong @ Sep 9 2015, 05:57 PM) What I did was current RM salary convert to SGD and compare with SG company offer That's quite crazy...if you consider that to be equal pay then wont have any problem getting a "good" offer in Singapore man Looks silly calculation but can't compare dollar to dollar. Like if you're earning RM6k in Malaysia, SGD2.5k would be an increment already |
