your profile pic appears familiar to me, have u been active in big 4 thread b4?
i heard from my friend that one of her fd in ey msia reach home 10-11pm, unsure abt the peak though.

8-9pm is acceptable to me as long as they dont go till wee hours, i mean come on how on earth could our brain supposed to be function that long and be productive =.=

but my lecturer keep emphasizing that big 4 sg no longer accept msian fresh grads wor, perhaps try out big firms other than big 4? such as rsm?

which other line would u suggest me to go into then other than audit? i choose audit over tax cuz i studied msian tax and the former will/might learn a lot

wow, and are they all msian? can i pm u to ask more abt it pls?

So far yes all malaysian

Btw, those who started work here are either nus or ntu grad ,

My roomate come here with exp , in comemrcial

My cousin oso come here with exp, somemore super high salary with rental allowance, in b4

so i think other forummer r right, u either grad here or come with exp

unfortunately i did not have the privilege to study overseas xD
does that mean i stand no chance even for mid or small firms?

my intention is just to work there 2-4yrs and save and leave. and gain experience as well of cuz

Nvr try nvr knw

ok q&a session finished now gv me ur fb

Yeah quite rare here in this forum. Of all female friends i know, none is aware and using this forum. None. Haha

1hour on public transport should be max. But depends on how far you stay away from MRT and how to access your office also. If you need to take feeder bus to MRT transfer to train then get off at MRT need to take another feeder confirm going to take much longer time.

I take bus all the way to work place. Less human more seats more room to breath more private space

Work here 2-4 yrs find one Singaporean guy get married and relax at home

Just share here la Buayas

hehehehe at least I dare to ask

Male must muka tebal to start

You don't get what I meant don't you?


Talking about salary...

Actually kinda lucky of me. Almost 2 years back landed my current and my first job in SG and my first job in life at quite an average or slightly below average salary in my field. Had 4 adjustments till date now taking about 40% higher pay compared to 2 years back.

But the work experience isn't entirely pleasing. Luckily the pay made up for some part of that

Spending also went up exponentially

Used to survive on 550 for rental, 450 for misc (food, transport, mobile, groceries, entertainment etc etc). Now is 650 for rental, another 650-800 for misc Haven't account for my excluded expenses (those not day-to-day expenses like getting new shirts/gadgets/birthday presents etc etc)

Insaneeeeeeeeeee

Compare to Malaysia, take away rental , how much things u can buy frm 650 to 800 expenses monthly in ringgit

Haven't mention savings. Still got quite a bit of savings.

But 2 years savings can't even afford the downpayment for a car in SG, not to mention a property in SG

Btw anyone got any lubang on property worth buying in JB? Best if the rental can cover the installment.

good to know that more fellow msians are doing great just like msia, there are good companies and bad companies in sg. i also got adjustment recently, also my first job in sg, started last year december. went up about 20%. fingers crossed for bonus.

for those who feel like starting a career at sg, don't worry too much if your starting salary is below average. things only matter in the long run (experience in sg contribute to new job, PR application, etc). especially if you're young and adventurous, go for it, it'll be a good experience.

The clause mentioned that it is his responsibilities to pay his personal income tax, so the 5% withhold is only payable to him at certain stage, e.g. after he cleared his tax or annual assessment. There should be a continuation of that clause.


It depends on quota of the company that he/she applied.

Yes, please share here what is their response. In addition, if they responded to you, tell them to show u which part of MoM web shows 5% withhold salary instead of last month salary. Lastly, if u are brave enough (Not recommended), ask them if there is any interest of that 5% withhold salary once it is deposited back to u

did not really browse the Big 4 thread. i do deal with KPxx SG auditors, they worked till quite late most of the time. 8-9pm is just normal to them.

i have friend previously working in RSM, may intro if you are interested.

sg tax is a lot easier than mys tax, far more straightforward.

a lot of us here also thought that we could come here work few years then go back to mys work/start business. how many had actually achieved that since the conversion rate has become SGD1 to RM3

omo why are u guys all so nice will try on my own 1st to see how it works out ^^
actually i've always wanted to live and work in australia as my siblings are all there and i want to be with them.
sg is my stepping stone to move to australia in the future when im experienced enough xD

I was looking at 1 commercial property with 6% guaranteed rental return for first 3 years, profit sharing thereafter.

If you are interested, can pm and discuss

Yeah...
This is what I observe...My cousin is an auditor in Malaysia Big 4...
And she usually works until morning but I am not sure about SG...
Her starting salary is around RM2800 or 2600 I think...

I thought those Big 4 usually sapu all fresh graduates one...
My cousin said so when I went to her convo...
BTW she is from S**way maybe that's why..

Survey properly. A GRR property most of time is developer marketing gimmick. If can sell well they won't resort to such tactic. IOI's property?

Not ioi. It is a mixed development at tampoi

haha she's my senior then xD
i dont intend to work in kl, whereas penang they say our experience may get discounted as it's regional so i decided to go sg instead. It's good to change a new environment for me

Oh really? Maybe she might be one of ur friend...loll...
Since u already made up your mind, what are you waiting for?
