Brand name? I wish that was always true. Not always true. It's more of your experience and your industry. If you are in a certain industry for many years, it will be difficult to enter into a new industry, for instance. Experience - what are your job scope, what have you accomplished, etc-  these are more important. Of course, if you work in a nameless firm, people will also think you have less job scope, less exposure, less accomplishment, etc But if you can get that all important interview, then you can demonstrate your worth. Tell them your experience, accomplishment, etc.

Anyway, I am done with Singapore. Why have "x3", when you can have "x4"? LOL......hahaha.... if only..... biggrin.gif

Brand name does help. Why?

Cos to enter such esteemed company like Facebook, McKinsey, Temasek, Exxon Mobil, etc normally in their respective industry these companies would have recruited the best and well groomed candidates. However pay wise would probably just on par in the market

If you claimed you have 3 years experience from these companies, Versus another candidate from a cinapek company, the cinapek one would need more years of experience to up his hiring chances

How will it affects retirement if the person decided to come back malaysia for retirement?

Regardless of which nationality you are, if you retire rich - you can choose to stay in any country you want

If you retire poor, you just stay put in your country - pray for government subsidy

I reckon when Malaysia socio-economy is doing better than Singapore in the future (hopefully), the love/hate discussion in this thread will be reversed
