Yalo ceo interviewed de need board approval, then nego how many millions salary ding dong ding dong. Not like us small potatoes, today interview tomorrow offer 2k, take or leave, don't want many ppl still applying. Sigh different level la.

Hi all, just want to ask, how long did it take for your work pass to be approved? Assuming the company did it online?

Thanks for your time

My EP was approved in like 3 business days.

if u go for walk in's then yes...

if u still wait for cold calls ...then will not be worth it ..

no matter how,physically there would be better as most of them might require face to face interview anyway

Oh. Tax also can move to sg ah. Not bad..

Guys, I'm currently working in Malaysia and have a tele interview with a company in Singapore for a job opportunity. Any tips for the interview? Is it different than a normal interview? First time landing an interview for a non local company and tele interview.

Thanks for the info!

Lol just when I want to go SG you're planning to go back to KL? It's actually pretty hard for tax to move, just that due to some special circumstances (the company expanding to kl and me having exp in Malaysian gst) that I had a chance.

me take 25% pay cut (dollar to dollar) to come here n work

similar...i 21% haha...

Im still here for now.

Hey Guys, while wondering, while submitted PR application and pending SG confirmation. Will changing job/company in the middle affect the application.

Thanks.

before interview, turn on your PC and park at Google.com , just in case they ask u something u dunno or unsure of.Then can straight find answer.

thats good advise right there..

if your PR is not approve yet, I am not so sure, My case is a bit special....

work for company A for 2 years + then apply PR. ICA sent letter to me saying its approved after 1 month (that was back in 2012), 1-2 days after i got the approval I got retrench from the company.
I ask the company to help me fill the form so I can complete my formalities but they refuse..

Joined company B 2 weeks later. get company B to sign the letter for me, still can complete my formalities just need to update the particulars a bit but my previous approval is still valid

The effective cut is prob 12-13% more since they don't pay EPF/CPF

thanks!!
Dropping cv seems kinda impossible as most positions are requesting for Singaporean or PR. Contacting agents will be easier?

For technical positions I guess your best bet would be go straight to the agencies that specialise in business/technology you're keen to work in.

Shudnt it be 25% (base pay) + 12% (epf contribution) that you dont have here?

So abt 30% less, but currency is 2.65x
If ur at the borderline in terms of monthly savings.. might be quite a tough one

yupp so dollar to dollar 37% less in that scenario
For me I'll consider EPF and rent when normalizing to compare pays across

Either way, for long term career prospects I've always felt a move to Singapore would be good regardless of the initial pay
I'm exploring an internal transfer to SG currently
