What a terrible experience. That Aunty is bad, best to be 100% sure next time. Transtar has its own shop in Golden Mile, so you can Google it next time should you need a $25sgd ride to KL. It took around 5.5 hours to 1 Utama.

More importantly, how was your interview?

best combo is first coach as they use elite highway and non stop.
but sold out very fast and dont have much timing.

I actually bought it from their direct shop in Golden Mile complex,
No clue about the chances of getting it, that position is more or less what I been doing in the past, somehow the pinoy i'viewer seems prefer someone who has software development background, although that is a consultant cum support role.
The pay isn't high actually, there is a ceiling for that role.

Yes, of course it's possible. "How possible" that is depends on your profile i.e. how attractive you are to bigger companies in Singapore (who are less likely to try to low-ball your salary). If your 5 years experience is entry level job and never got promoted even once then of course that probability isn't particularly high

the probability of ppl reducing ur myr salary in sgd is higher by a lot lol...

Everyone else say can. But hey, maybe my opinion might be useful. I dont have tax background, but im from a big 4 audit firm 5+ years exp too back then..

Dont expect a dollar increment, especially if your targeted firms are big 4 or mid tier sort of companies. Friends at the manager level moved over at abt 80% of their myr pay (rm8k to sgd 6k+) for a role in the due diligence / performance improvement side of things. Im sure you are familiar with the standard pay scales of these firms.

So, if you want a job that gives you an increment... The kind of job you are looking for is banks, MNC and govt investment companies (temasek-linked etc). But audit and tax experience (especially your tax exp) is not exactly transferable over to the singapore environment, and not fully relevant to the jobs these kind of companies have.

So....

Here are the odds in my view.

5% increment
15% matching.
80% pay cut.

Good luck. All my.other audit friends came with a paycut (before convert). Those that didnt were not in finance or accounting. (except those at the junior end.. Mid level execs not so)

But.. Its not impossible. Good luck finding that 20%

Hey guys, just wonder if household igross income of 6k SGD in total will have a chance to buy a 4 room hdb? will I be able to sustain?

Take note its a combined income of two person already.

Bto or resale?

resale

Anyone play archery in Singapore and any recommended place to play?

I don't want to take any courses but just walk in buy arrows & shoots like the archery in sunway pyramid.

I assume you Husband and Wife both SPR? Installments shouldn't be a problem - 400k flat repayments over 25years should be around $1.6-$1.7k, which is under the 30% MSR. Then you can pay the installment from your CPF OA contributions as well which should help cash flow.

[edit] 400k resale ie 320k loan is $1,452 monthly repayment (HDB loan @ 25 years). I personally feel it's easily sustainable especially since most of that loan can be paid by your monthly CPF contributions.

there is also the part of "rent saved" if currently renting a whole unit which is currently paid by the take home pay instead of CPF

Hi there,

we are both under employment pass and s pass. 400k flat can get 4 room?

Note: I understand that we need to be both SPR to purchase from resale market.

Thus, we might be going back msia as I dont think there is a future as I am very underpaid and unable to secure another job.

I think its not the pay that stops you, but the 3 year waiting period for both SPRs.

That is one thing, and my jackass boss that binds me 3 years ONCE I GET MY SPR.

Thanks. It helps to get perspective from someone in similar industry to set the appropriate expectation.

I asked this because my MYR salary is slightly off the chart higher than Jobstreet salary report for Senior (MY) and the Jobstreet Salary upper ceiling for SG Senior is a lower than the MY's upper ceiling (SGD to MYR nominal value).

Both of you are foreigners. Not eligible

Get a different.job bruh.

tried for 6 months d. cannot get any replies. went to one interview only.

you can apply for SPR without the help of your boss. i have heard a friend doing that and successfully getting his PR
