Then they will say you are a job-hopper... not so nice lo.

U mean your pay is like 50% of your RM pay in terms dollar to dollar?

Nope... let's just say I could earn RM3000 here but SGD2800 there

That's my worry too. Looking at my timeline most probably I'll be switching job in 2~4 months after I got my pr status, really no idea how those potential employers will think about that (though i am pretty sure many people practiced the same thing too )

That's right.. Don't even think to work in large corporations or MNCs in SG if you did not have a PR status unless you are prepare to work in chinaman firms whereby the bosses squeeze you like hell from day till night and pay you peanuts.

BTW, do you guys work in MNCs or reputable firms in SG on your very 1st job in S'pore or just working in those Pte Ltd firms?

I have look the jobstreet and found out all well-known companies are eligible for Singaporeans or PR to apply only. Sad....

ahhhh susah..

Up to you to believe or not. Note that this is a survey of the SMU graduates themselves. Their responses (ie. how much starting salary they say they got) are not cross-checked with the employers.

Me personally..., I don't believe anyone will pay a fresh graduate S$10,000 a month for a position based locally in Singapore. Not unless he/she is a serious natural talent. After all they are fresh, they don't actually know how to do anything.

YUP. agree oso. so, msian. plzla.... work harder!

I am a newbie here.

yeah, I also just settle down over here for months.
is quite good to work over here.

I stay in Serangoon North and work here as well. I walk to work and have my meal about this area. So my expenses is quite low.

Working hour is 8.30 - 6.00 everyday and is allow to have flexible start time ( as long as is not too late )

Rental : $400
Food : $300 ( no special, just eat in company canteen and food court )
Breakfast : $2
Lunch : $3 - $4
Dinner : $3 - $4
Internet + Cellphone : $100 ( vary )
Misc : $200 ( for back up )

I have salary range like u guys...so can save quite much as well. Too bad is a contract job for 1 yr. Don't know how long I can last in singapore. If not it is quite good for a long term.

I also applied for two jobs at different MNCs. I was offered the first one. And also had an interview scheduled for the second one, but had to cancel as I already accepted offer.

This is a joke.
With the ranking of Singapore Press Freedom at 154th of the world, you need a real good dose of salt to chew these.

guys... need your help... could you give me a list of websites where I can search for rooms/HDB units in Singapore? I'm having a tough time searching for one

Use the 'search topic' tool at the bottom left of this page. Search for 'flatsdb' and you should find several postings giving links to accomodation search websites.

Then again, the singapore employer oso not easy to cheat. They might ask u are u taking them as a steping stone. Too bad a lot of ppl have done that, so the employer learns. After all they are singaporeans, they learn from their mistakes fast, unlike malaysian firm..

Hi all, want to ask if you get PR in SG, mean you belongs to SG citizen group?

and then get drafted into their national service, performing yours' on a foreign land. irony....

not against working in SG, since its all about the money.

A lot of MNCs now are practising flexibility and transparency across the seas, you can actually work in the MNC locally, after a few years - if you're good, damn good, u get expat (much better pay aint it?). if you're not so good but above average performer, you can ask for a overseas position at a local pay. still not-too-bad. of course, polishing shoes along the way may help do some magic

Nope, because you will still not enjoy those Singaporean citizen benefit.

PS: you do not have to serve national services as well if you first generation of PR.

what a bunch or crap ...

Eugene,
You seems either in Lala land or smoking pot!

How to define first gen PR? Not really understand this.
