Hi all!

Just wanna consult ppl here working in accounting roles.

I was wondering what is the demand for accounting personnel right now?

I know the employment market is grim in sg now. but my gf moved there and i was thinking of making a move too.

I currently working for a US MNC's SSC in msia, handling the GL function. The companies i handled are mainly based in EU and singapore. My company has a HQ in singapore, and i report mostly to the controller and senior managers in SG. i dealt with the finance staff in SG quite often.
I have 1+ year of exp for this company, is it gonna give me an advantage here?

Other than that, I have 3+ years handling full set accounts for sdn bhd, which i believe not worth much in SG.

Education wise, i am an aussie grad with a degree in finance. currently pursuing my prof certs (CIMA to be exact), at the middle level, passed several papers last year, actively studying it now.

i been observing jobstreet and other job sites, seems GL positions are popping up quite frequent, ranging from junior to senior roles. Not sure they consider malaysians anot?

I am thinking of trying my luck applying for cost accounting positions, but its a long shot.

What are my chances?

Hi all, I'm new to this thread. I've always wanted to work in Singapore. I've been working as a teacher here in Msia for the past 5 years in government schools. I think I've gathered enough experience here already so it's time to move on. I've tried applying to MOE SG but failed twice already so far. May I know is there any teacher from here Msia who has successfully switch to SG so far?

Why not just try to request for a transfer?

Hi guys, my employer wants to change my contract terms for AWS. I supposed to be entitled for AWS, now HR told me that she made mistake and send me the wrong contract that it suppose to be I may or may not get AWS. She asked me if she can revise the contract. What should I do?

Ask for 8.5% increment on your base salary. Worked out to roughly your AWS figure. Do not sign a new contract if it means taking out 1 month of your annual income.

Then no increment/promotion for the next 3 years

Happened in my company for a different case.

One freshie entered the company with a higher salary than other freshies. He asked for it and the company has given.

But end of the year, this poor fellow didn't get bonus while others are getting average 2 months.

Totally not worth the few hundred higher salary compared to the bonus he's lost

Not really , I always op for better basic than bonus , coz bonus always varies , and when you jump ppl will see Ur payslip first

Not very likely. They only take in the very experienced ones. My boss did told me be4.

Majority of finance work r done here in msia. The maintain a very lean team over there, mainly just managers and couple of specialist.

Follow Mackiddo advise. That's the correct way in adjusting your current package.

That's not too bad then, alot better than other areas, thanks.

I did mention that but they reluctant to increase my basic salary. They told me all freshie are affected but my 2 other colleagues that have the similar contract as mine are not being ask to do changes.

I want to refuse for amendment. It is not fair. I read and signed in front of them but they never say anything for half a year. I'm just worried that if I refuse they gonna kick me out. Will they breach the contract?

Since I already have s pass, is it easy to get the next job?

you can decide not to sign and accept the new terms. if they kick you out, sue them for unlawful dismissal. I suggest you keep all the documents about this; emails, paper trails, what ever you can get your hands on. Will be useful if you wanna file a lawsuit.

Want to ask

1) If my unit current broadband is held by my housemate, is it possible to do a transfer to my name or should I subscribe a new service again?
2) If it means to cancel the existing broadband, will the service provider take back the router as well?
3) What's the best deal for broadband? So far most package comes in $39.90/month and $49.90/month

Can send CV?

Anyone in SG thought of going to Europe for a year or two, either working holiday (I heard not applicable to Malaysian or sgrean) or just normal working there

After that come back to SG again.....

Suddenly tis idea comes into my mind so strongly. I m going to 30 Tis Yr, if no go now, no other chances in future.......

YOLO

Why not? Go.la. once u had the life in europe or usa, u might decide they fit u more. Or if ur the cosmopolitan futurist type, singapore will be better.

Better to try and know what u didnt choose, rather than keep wondering how its like later

Sounds like a nice idea
Might be hard getting a job there (if working holiday is not possible)
Also there's the concern of getting a job once you move back to SG

Just go if you feel like it. YOLO. Was based in London for 3 months. Good experience. Quite hard to get work visa now though for UK.

go ask telco better...diff telco might have different condition....
for M1,
1) Cannot transfer broadband account...
2) only have to return the modem
3) depends on what speed u want...
