got such thing as earn enough?

any one has views on how the job market now for audit and compliance role? seems rather quiet to me.

yea..exactly..how do u define enough? when u earn more, you will tend to splurge and enjoy more. then you aim to work harder for more money. the whole cycle continues..

1 whole month of job searching and sending in CV, now only get 2 calls. job market is so slow now.

Top 15% of people working in SG, what's the median for this category?

Even if higher than median of all employed full time workers in SG also can't enjoy good life. Say, $5k. Where got good life??

for $5k gross, after deducting CPF only get $4k take home pay.

one master room rental $1.5k. Left with $2.5k to spend on basic necessities and savings. FYI, I am not a fan of branded goods. I don't buy any of those. Every meal eat hawker, chap fan, everyday take mrt, no cab.
So, good life?

Dont compare with RM5k la. RM is no where near that. I'm just asking, $5k, can live a good life?

don't pull my leg la dai kar jie. from the $5k, take home pay only $4k.

Condo installment is not an issue, the issue is the upfront 20% + stamp duty + ABSD. how to afford to buy a condo in the first place wor.

Everyday have to OT work until 9pm, 10pm. where got time to cook?

Car? Pay for COE until laosai also not enough leh. Now have to fork out 50% up front to buy car somemore.

Fly home..not an issue la. but if u fly home every weekend, u see how much the flights budget eat into ur expenses..

Pub..kopitiam with those old uncles counted or not?

I can eat out also. Every meal i eat out. Eat chap fan lor.

Of cos still got money left. how much is the leftover?

So, again, $5k got good life arr?

Big 4 in SG will always welcome kulis from Malaysia. Not many locals are willing to trade their life for the sake of working the long dreaded graveyard hours in the Big 4. picture working till 5am and having to go into office at 9am thereafter.

jitshiong, this job will pay u $5k. So, do you think you will have good life?

Malaysia got so demanding like SG or not?

Forgot to mention, it's not for just one to two days. It's for few mths consecutively, including weekends, on average till 3am. but occasionally till 5am, 7am

If you compare RM and SGD alone, of cos earning SGD is better. What you save you get X 2.69 when you go back to Msia and spend.
Go ahead with audit if that's what you want. What I'm saying is that the Big 4 will welcome people like you. Lots of vacancies actually. Whether you can perform up to the firm's expectations, it's a different thing.

but you can cook 3 meals a day everyday wor

You worked in PwC KL before and you need referrals? Your experience itself is a referral already.
Y is your sister rushing you? If she wants to live in Singapore, she should be independent enough.

left already. not worth sacrificing.

I was..left the good ol big 4 days already

never considered commercial accounting. too mundane for me.
well audit is a guarantee of for sure promotion n increment..safe rice bowl if you willing to sacrifice

haha..dont have to be so harsh on her..

if you continue to spoil your sis, she will have a hard time to survive in sg. up to you to decide for her future.
haha.. i'm living off my savings now. still looking wat to venture into next.

wahhh very lucky!! very rare to see someone so free in singapore. no OT?

which company are you with?? I wanna work there too!!!

call and ask la. why so scared?
