If your offer is around SGD2500 to SGD3000, u better think thrice. Plus the food here is around same price as Malaysia.

if you have the right experience they need, they will pay higher, even higher than singaporean. Don't always think that Malaysian are being exploit here. Just that you have to know, Singapore's salary is lower compare to Malaysia.

Job in singapore isn't secure. Anytime can layoff. today it happen to my company, few people got letter and asked to leave immediately. Of course they got a package. But, it is scary, leave immediately.

i think it is not a suitable time to come to Singapore now. Many compnay is laying off. It started from Motorola, then AMD, then IM flash on hold. These news aren't publicised because it hurts Singapore's image. If u work in singapore, performance is the most important things. they will measure you by what you had done, what your colleague can do vs you. So you must be competent enough in order to survive.

high tech industry. those company laying-off are doing high tech.

mine was fast, around 7 days. i heard even faster case, 2 days only.
i have a sense that it depend on which company u join. The bigger the company is, the faster your pass being approved.

not sure will go down. now like at the edge now. some unit is slightly cheaper. but overall still maintain.
pls prepare at least SGD500 in ur budget for lodging, otherwise, u might wanna consider sharing room

basically, you dun need a car here.
all you need is bicycle and MRT
myself spend SGD50 per month to commute to work
but the house rental is very expensive

need to clarify
SGD50 is just going to and back from office, cause i am staying 3 station away from office. and i am 5 days/week job.
this doesn't include weekend trip. basically, need to add SGD8/weekend.

expecting about RM1 to SGD0.8 ration is realistic. but....condo vs hdb. think carefully.

totally agree that singapore is a boring country.
malaysia supposedly not so boring, but can't go anywhere because scare of robber.

anyway, here is another position available in Xilinx. Please PM me for more information if interested.

http://www.flatsdb.com
http://www.hdbflat.blogspot.com

employer in singapore like to emphasize on productivity.

they also hire master degree to do degree work, and claim that they have the best talent.
that's why they need a lot of master degree ppl
and degree ppl from malaysia, usually can outperform those master degree ppl.

yup..no degree, but really feel dun need a degree to do my job
my job even a diploma also can do
but...they prefer degree

there is a huge difference between private apartment and HDB flats. most of ppl now go for hdb flat cause it is cheaper.
hdbflat = SGD400-500 per month per room
private apartment/condo = SGD800 to SGD1200 per room per month
pls check : http://www.flatsdb.com or http://www.hdbflat.blogspot.com for more information.
