Applied as a Senior/AM level, currently with one of the big 4 in MY smile.gif

I know can request for internal transfer to Sg, but there have been bad experience between MY and SG, the partners here will try not to approve any transfer from MY to SG sad.gif

Then you don't need much tip assuming you're already about 7-10y on the job. You can get your salary expectation in glassdoor as well. Their pay is very structured and pretty much fixed for every corp rank

Wanted to tell you about the horrendous hour of an auditor, but I suppose you'd know that already. I look at the auditor I am working with, everyday looks like a depressed zombie

Hi Guys,

Currently I'm renting a HDB room (SGD600) in Bedok with 1 year contract. I'm thinking bout moving out from there and stay at JB because one of my sibling is will be working at JB. My mom request me to stay with him to watch over him since he is a freshgrad...

Based on you guys exp, can I just move out? I still have remaining 4 months contract with the owner for now....

Depends on your relationship with owner and what it says on your contract lor. My tenancy contract allows either of us to terminate early with no penalty with 2 mths notice.

Can't look back to your contract.

Mine if not wrong... From Dennis Wee Realty is... Minimum is 3 months. The contract is 1 year. Means if you stay less than 3 months you have to cover the rent until 3 months (I think?) and you lose the deposit too (or maybe count towards 1 of the months). Then after that if want to leave, will have to pay the other party (the contract can be ended by both tenant and the owner) the prorated agent fee. Like if you stay half year then you have to pay them 50% of the agent fee they paid to the agent at first.

If not wrong is something like that... You really have to read back to know.

This is due to LTE/4G data mode that you turned on in your phone. Although data roaming or mobile data is off, it is LTE behaviour trying to ping the visited network. To solve this:

1. Activate Plane Mode to disconnect data connection under 4G.
2. Then, check phone setting and allow up until 3G connection. Please disable 4G network and disable data roaming.
3. Then, disable plane mode. Search network under manual searching and avoid any 4G connection in the available operators.

I had this issue before for both my Maxis and Digi lines. ;-)

Wondering anyone has issue with malaysia sim card on iphone (ios 9)?

I had my malaysia Digi sim card put inside my spare iphone (running ios 9), I turned off mobile data, data roaming, location service, wifi assist, all OFF. Called Digi to turn off my voice mailbox for roaming too. Leave it on wifi all the time. Yet, there's still charges on Digi data roaming! The data being consume is small, every packet only 1KB according to Digi.

I check under the data usage on my iphone, it shows 0KB. So I really scratch my head what's wrong, I can't turn off the phone completely as I still want to receive sms.
This "data leaking" is driving me nuts, my wife iphone also has the same issue  bangwall.gif

Anybody has a clue what is wrong? sad.gif

Nothing to advise, your contract already crystal clear what. Just talk to your landlord and explain the situation and see whether he/she willing to accommodate you. If can't then just stay another 4 months, that's hardly a long time.

You consult the agent first he/she sure ask you don't move... You know why?? Their contract with the owner will stipulate if the tenant leave within "N" month(s) (normally 3), they have to find one new tenant for the owner.

My current work is shift based bro. 2 days on (1 morning, 1 night) and 2 days off. I'm kinda bored staying here during the off days. Nothing to be done...

Because my nature of work, i think i should better move to JB because i only occur 5 morning shift weekdays/month...
