my boss actually looking for desktop cum server cum network engineer for IT Support Services  in SME Industry offering between 3-5k (depends on exp/qualification) but couldn't find the guy. Maybe due to SME nobody wanted to apply.

Yea, 3-4k should be very easy to get 1-3 years experience IT guy isn't it? I thought tons of IT fresh gred hunting for job in sg?
Since it's SME, I don't think need more than 3 years experience or expertise like virtualization, cisco networking...etc.
99% of my time is solving various weird desktop PC issue dry.gif damn sien....

Also depends on whether you're coming alone or need to bring your wife and kids and mother in law over.

Just so so, i got around 30% pay cut compare figure to figure.
9 years experience, maybe I am old ady, no company want to hire anymore  bangwall.gif
Exactly my thinking right now  sad.gif
my work scope being down scale to a level that I have to help singaporean aunty to re-connect printer, fix outlook profile  biggrin.gif
And they always shout - wa biang! why like that my email not coming in! wah sio!  cannot print la!
If my ex-colleague know this, they gonna laugh until their ass fall off  blush.gif

exactly, keep looking out don't just stay put as well. one thing i realise is network more with the sgreans or even other expats it helps when u can make connections even if its not for urself, 1 thing will lead to another console.gif

for me, I do a math as said my spending is 2k myr in malaysia, 2k sgd in singapore. if u earn 5k sgd at singapore , tax would take 300, u still got 2.7k left for saving, this a good number.

well, how's urs situation as i had given example.

but side factor maybe compare your MY job and SG job etc, you will only know after few weeks/months of working in the real situation.

You'll need to leave your company before getting the actual new pass, but the new company can start applying before you resign

Guys, is Circles.Life good?

I am not heavy user of data/ talk time/ sms... however I got 100 mobile expenses of allowance.

So Circles.Life No contract mobile plan seems my best option with iphone downpayment.

But I wonder how's the service of circles.life?

circles.life uses m1's network so theoretically it should be the same. so if you have any friends using m1 you can ask them how the network is.

Just found out that they got no physical shop, yet only can register the iPhone bundle only with DBS / UOB credit card.
If I just get my employment pass, no way for me to apply credit card upfront right? So I need to wait till the 4th month? @_@
or I can use UOB MY credit card as well? biggrin.gif

Since bro deodorant mentioned it's using M1 then should be ok. No network loss except when train exiting tunnel from Levendar to Kallang mrt station

How does the plan look like?
Was thinking since you have 100 /month mobile allowance it might be better to get a contract one with phone, so you can split the phone charge to each month

Circles.Life package is $28, with iPhone 24 months down payment would make the total monthly bill close to $100. So best fit for me. Next question is they only accept DBS / UOB credit card, I only have UOB Malaysia Credit Card, will they accept. There is a event happening coming weekend, guess I will go and check it out.
