Hey guys, I always have dream going to singapore and work. I don't mind to take 3x stress level as long as the currency is good to earn. Just to give a bit of my background, I am no fresh grad but having 2 years of working experience in financial sector, mainly in field of analyzing work. Just wonder, how hard it is to get a job in Singapore now? I don't mind to start small as auditor. Would it be hard to apply consider that I don't have a PR there?

Any agency you guys can recommend in getting a job there?

difference super huge leh and i'm just small fry kuli earning peanuts

unless you're talking double the price to cover the time spent renting for that 3 years

2 years of working experience doesn't amount to much when compare to fresh graduates here.

Is this real bro? So I should apply a fresh grad job instead?

Just apply to all including fresh grad level positions first, see which companies come back to you
But yeah, 2 years of Malaysia experience will probably be ignored unless you have very good credentials, or your new employer is someone you or your current manager knows

Hahaha tats y I previously tell u all just come whenever u got the chance, gain experience in Malaysia for one or 2 yrs equals to nothing to SG company. Eventually u still need to lowball urself to lower salary making urself unhappy or compete with SG freshie

Especially in finance / business / banking

Else stay put in Malaysia and reaches really high position beforr jump here, my cousin with big 4 for few yrs in Penang before transfer to SG

Handsome pay

Its just how singaporean companies lowball u cos..

A. They got alot of choices.

B. You are desperate, and you don't stand out

C. They think sgd 1 : rm 3. Give u shit u also will take.

Some people just cannot sacrifice their lifestyle in MY to adapt to SG, got money don't want earn

This reminds me of the story of the old man fishing, and the banker trying to sell him a business plan.

I think you should still go ahead and apply for whatever job that you're interested in at SG. Even 1-2 years of exp is still helpful if any company is looking for that sort of experience. But you do have to keep expectation low, with the job market being not so good. Plus don't just think short term, even if you get slightly lower pay than expectation, that experience might help you in your next job (at SG or MY).

Pay-wise, luck plays a big role. And also your ability to advertise yourself (confidence helps, don't think that you are that inferior to the locals).

All the best.

Banker plan good. Spend 30-40 years stressful life in rat race make big money then go back Malaysia retire in small village for 5-10 years.

Not really true for every case. Should be case per case.

I got friends who worked 1 year in MY but programming field, joined SG later fetching ~4k.

Handsome pay compared to mine

Wao one Yr ezp come SG get 4k is super high

Better than NTU nus grad

what his workload? did u manage to meet him after he join?

Anyone can tell me please what is the expect salary for banking line in SG after 2.5 years working in Malaysia. Please note that it is same industry, same field.

actually i realise a lot ppl asking how much for salary for xx year for nn industry but since malaysia and sg is geographically close, similar culture, similar cost of living (albeit of difference but in terms of food and transport), much of the salary is equal.

if u are earning 4k in myr, expect to earn around 3.8k - 4.2k removing consideration for the size of company, client exposure, role type

just because, a move whether horizontal or vertical would have positive or negative impact on the salary. so it should be no brainer if u are already earning 4k myr and then someone comes and tell u ur expected is 3k sgd effectively devaluing ur experience and skills (unless the size of company is different but for the sake of argument we assume it's the same)

of course, this is just my 2 cents

tldr: if u already making n myr, expect +-20% in sgd. simple as that

Shouldn't benchmark with old pay in Malaysia.

Salary should be paid at MARKET RATE. Slowly survey the salary guide release by recruitment agencies.
