correct...

@mIssfROGY

yeah u r right on the facts..

im worrying abot the agency too...if i get hired i will be under them or under the co. i applied for.

Normally online resume u have to fill in the current salary in S$ doller where most of us "Malaysian" have to convert in S$ which is sooo small in Sing doller.

This figure definately will pull us down in getting new jobs which demand for higher pay in Singapore.

let's make an example..

I earn rm3k coverert back to S$ = S$1315 (2.28 5th of February 08)
I demand = S$2700

I dont think tat is a nice figure for pay rise....any suggestion for that?

Current working field

Radio Network Engineer with 2 yrs eperience in Telecommunication Industry

Thanks

Is that the standard increment rate in spore? 25%?

no way u can convert just put down how much u earn in myr to sgd

Good things oso.. u can save more money, cos no time for u to spend it in sg... i heard most jobs in sg is like that, rite?

normally for msian working in spore, which bank's you guys recommended (salary credited to this account) as below:-

services such as :- to perform cash withdrawal thru atm or etc, pay bills or transfer money to msia bank's account.

thks -

Any bank can do all those, the important thing is to use the same bank as ur company, so that if they pay you by cheque it will be cleared within 1 working day(normaly).

Avoid POSB, feel scary when look at the queue at the ATM, even there 4,5 ATM also can queue up to 10 pp in each line........
I recommend OCBC or UOB, their branches & ATM can find almost everywhere and less people on the queue to ATM & counter is the main concern to me.
Sg's bank deposit interest is pretty low compare to Malaysia's bank, so keep the money in Malaysia for long term seem like a better idea to me, corret me if I'm wrong.

best is to use DBS.

you can open an account with SGD500. you need to maintain 500 inside the account if not they deduct SGD 2 every month from the account.

POSB used to be owned by SG Gov serving basically the citizens.... only till they wanted to compete with foriegn banks and then bought it over. POSB has the largest ATM netork in SG. If you say long queue, I think you must have gotten to those very popular one.

My my residential area, there are easily POSB 6 ATM machines (not forgetting there are easily another 3 other banks' ATM around). Most have queue except for one, if you know where to find it... So ATM queue nothing wait till you use those at remote area in places like UK, then you really know what the queue is like. Of course, your timing is another concern. So this queue thing, sometimes can be avoided if you can anticipate your needs..

nola...u really shd demand SGD3k+25%+current employer's epf
when they ask u, tell them lo. u get SGD2700.....seriously not enuf la...i dun think its worth the trouble fo goin into SG....too low ler, wont be able to save much, better earn in msia.

Added on February 9, 2008, 4:04 amNoler..its not the standard rate.....if u like, u can go for 10% or 5% or maybe a paycut...but everyone should think that they deserve a higher rate if they were to go there to work or even when change jobs in msia. Our price is really up to us to put....if u put a high price, u might just get it, else negotiate down. If u put a low price, then nego...your price might even go lower.....and then, when u calculate, is it that worth it to work there at all? If of coz if u r really desperate to go, by all means, put a low price...higher chances of getting a job there.

more like inflation, not yet recession kua?? rental goin up..and i heard many other things going up as well this year...If recession starts, u see many people getting out of jobs especially banking...but they r still hiring like nobody business right now..

well there is a bank that just paid out 6 months bonus and also an investment company in SG that paid 10 months bonus for YE 31dec.

recession? perception maybe..

SG Gov has predicted a 4.5% growth for 2008, not sure how US recession is going to affects SG. I think it will be push down. Yes, some figures comes in way below expectation..... any body gues for now as analsysts are predicting positive growth due to the many big projects going on.. FYI, many big compnaies pay out huge bonuses... I know of a few paying 6 months.... And most civil servants are waiting for the pay hike review since mid last year to be annouced in the next quarter. Civil servants got 2.5 months.

yeayea...malaysia most proly, singapore not yet la...oh but i heard singapore petrol gonna up another 20% soon!......hieezzz wont affect them much tho since their transport system so good...they can always opt for the alternative, unlike us.

@mIssfROGY

u mean lets say i earn rm3k i should demand for S$3k + 25% on top of that..wow im luckly enough to get a higy pay like tat

but us "Malaysian" they will pull down our price and let us with no options to take the figure. I got a call from Job Agency say her client can offer max S$2.5k...sigh.... still can survive act....

yesler...to me i think we shd...but if u think u can survive or if taking less is more worth it to u than working in msia, then by all means do it. To me, i feel that they shd pay me high enuf to make me leave msia coz being away from my family for that kind of money is not worth it. So it depends on each person's preferences.

2.5k got include your epf money or not? You havent include your EPF money into your 3k rite? Btw....if u r working under these agencies, they most proly dun gib bonus also.....did u count in your bonuses?
