Suddenly I'm like losing hope, my last call (2nd call) was on Friday, 18th.
The HR who's the recruiter said he will let me know whether it's positive or negative. My Singaporean friend was saying it's holiday season, so asked me to be patient...

Hi All. Was offered with a job at SG. However I am still dealing with the HR on the pay band. Is that normal that we raised the expected salary according to our currency in RM, to SG$ irrespective of the currency rate? I was told by the HR it is a big jump. Hence I might need the taigors here for some input when comes to similar case, whats the justification when asked by HR why they need to consider your expected salary?

Thanks!

Still waiting for their decision. They need the position to be filled up soon but I can't and my expected salary is higher than what they can offer. So yeah, that's about it, I didn't put in much hope though. Let it flow naturally.

There will be a up-coming BBQ session for all Malaysian's kulis currently working in Sg. It will be held on 16th Jan 2016 Saturday evening at Pasir Ris. Those who are interested, kindy PM Lester1987 or deodorant. Non-refundable s$25/pax will be collected upfront, on first-cum-first-serve basis, we can only accommodate another 5 ppl max as we already have 20+ confirmed regulars.

Eh. Join us leh. It'll be fun. Making some friends. Make our community strong.

In MY, usualy if jump can get up to 30% (based on my exp). How about SG? Issit shomehow the same?

double every 10 years, at linear rate that an average 8% increment every annual review.

The more usual case I think is a staggered line, maybe lower annual increment but having a significant bump every few years due to upgrade / promotion / job change. Average out is 8% p.a. lah

Here in Penang, I think the average median increment (at least in my MNC experience) is 5-8 % p.a. maybe due to higher inflation rate compared to Singapore. So if you adjust for an annual 3% inflation rate that's a net 2-5% p.a.

Normally how many days do u guys take leave for CNY? except the 2 days holidays for monday and tuesday.

For those getting their CPFs given back to them in cash, do note that the CPF limit is now SGD6000 per month, increased from SGD5000. So if you're making 6k or more, your CPF "allowance" should be 6000 * 17%. Do claim from your employers, especially those in the Big 4 audit firms

For the rest of the PRs, the deduction is an additional S$200 more now

Fiona Jie why act so shocked? Less 0.1% cash in your acct every month you also won't notice the difference ba.

i thought government sector gv high salary to prevent corruption

Regardless whether you are directly employ under SG gov or outsource company working on gov project, salary actually follow market rate just like the private sectors.

However if you are scholars (which is a BIG thing in SG) or elected MPs, these group of people can command higher than average salaries compared to us 'peasants'.

Myself never perceive them as superior or anything. I personally met, worked together and befriended a few scholars and PhDs. I find them to be smart and efficient to work with - albeit only a handful are strongly opinionated and proud of themselves (which I can tolerate as myself sometime can be the same)

However, what I find it to be bewildered and amused is that why the general SG population look too highly upon this group of people - as if they are alien or very ATAS people? To me they are just NORMAL people like us. Normal people who can make honest mistakes, who need a lending hand when you are feeling down or help, etc...

Heightened Vigilance
