QUOTE(Jewelgal @ May 26 2008, 01:42 PM) May I know what is the common working hours and number of working days in SG for those who are working in office(IT/Programming/Network line)? I think there is a need to change this question to: Which are the companies in SG that seldom require you to work for long hour, for those jobs to work in office(IT/Programming/Network line)? I believe it really depends on which company you join, and I am waiting for the answer too  |

Wanna noe if its hard to find job in there with economics degree.. lots of jobs for ya in SG for your degree. You need to get the Straits Times (Saturday edition) Added on May 27, 2008, 9:02 am QUOTE(Jewelgal @ May 26 2008, 01:42 PM) May I know what is the common working hours and number of working days in SG for those who are working in office(IT/Programming/Network line)? usually it's comparable to Msia. Just expect the same type of working environment except the people here are more "on" means they don't do stupid stuffs. For IT jobs best to use online recruitment sites. For nonIT jobs better to look at Straits Times Saturday edition Added on May 27, 2008, 9:04 am QUOTE(kb2005 @ May 25 2008, 05:21 PM) No place in the world is 100% safe. Just be smart and act accordingly if you see something odd! In Msia people set up their own "police force" like the patrols and security guards. In SG government put up sign boards that say "Low Crime Doesn't Mean No Crime".  This post has been edited by cktwai: May 27 2008, 09:04 AM |

QUOTE(yrh0413 @ May 21 2008, 10:15 AM) I guess this is very true... some friend and my own experience: It is not correct. Starting salary of fresh grads in Singapore is MUCH HIGHER than Malaysia. Please see the latest news below. Hope this can happen in Msia.Here: RM2800, there RM2400 Here: RM3000, there RM2800 But, your savings is 2x if you bring your excess cash back to Malaysia. Seeing the current weakening RM I guess soon the conversion rate will be 2.4 (heck, now is already 2.38!). Fresh Grads May 28, 2008 Business grads are getting hired faster By Sumathi V Selvaretnam BUSINESS school students are highly sought after by the financial sector - nine in ten of them are snapped up even before they graduate. Of the 1,232 students who graduated from the Nanyang Business School (NBS) at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) last year, 90 per cent secured a job months before graduation. According to the latest NTU graduate employment survey released on Monday, its business students were hired in fields such as auditing, accounting, investment banking and consulting. Over at the National University of Singapore's Business School, eight out of ten of its 2007 graduates got a job before they left school, according to its employment survey results released on Monday. Citibank, UBS and KPMG are some of the big companies which are hiring students as early as six months before they are due to finish school. Over the past three years, business and business-related courses like accountancy and economics have been top choices for A-level and polytechnic students heading to university. But students pursuing non-business related courses have reason to rejoice too. NTU's survey showed that its 2007 batch of 4,847 graduates drew a starting salary of $2,900 - 7.8 per cent more than the $2,690 which their seniors from the previous year took home. The top 130 earners received paychecks from $4,000 to $10,000. The mean starting salary of the 2007 cohort of 328 NUS business students went up by 13.6 per cent to $3,079. About 36 of its top earners received salaries of between $4,000 and $10,800. |
