QUOTE(playstan211 @ Aug 1 2016, 04:27 PM) everything is inclusive, air con- limitless. cooking is allowed and the best thing is i can bring guest home and there is no limit to how many days or nights not quite sure bout that making any real difference to the price though. I live alone, small shoebox loft unit with two a/c blowers. When I'm in both blowers are usually on. So that's about 12 hours daily. Water heater and dryer used liberally as well - only thing i hardly use is the oven and induction cookers. I have music and the tv on at least 4 hours a day but those are very energy efficient anyways. electricity bill plus water tak sampai SGD100 per month.

QUOTE(ITzai @ Aug 1 2016, 04:07 PM) Hi all sifus out there, if working near commonwealth MRT area, which place is the most strategic place to stay? Any chances to find a single room within 400? Commonwealth many places to stay ma.. But with 400 budget should be like a store room. I can see there is many old and not so good condition rooms at that area.

QUOTE(loverukianini @ Jul 31 2016, 05:51 PM) 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 from what i saw in my firm ( one of the midtier) in the past few month, the fresh graduates who joined were mostly local graduate (NUS,NTU ,UOL or ACCA )student. Btw, just spam your resume, no harm trying This post has been edited by fcuk90: Aug 1 2016, 07:46 PM

QUOTE(loverukianini @ Jul 31 2016, 10:51 AM) hi, im a fresh graduate looking to finding an audit job in sg. Anyone know whats the std salary for fresh grad in mid tier as well as small audit firm right now? my friend used to say around $2800-3000 but thats for big 4 and they are only interested in experienced foreigners right now according to my lecturer so no hope for me. and is it advisable to include our expected salary in our cv? the std rate for a small room is around $600 but what if i dont need air-cond? would it be cheaper and if so by how much? i alr had enough of sharing room with ppl back in my uni days cuz im very sensitive to light and sound and suffered insomnia as a result. so if possible im really like to stay in a cheap small room all to myself. thx to all the kind-hearted sifus in advance  mid = $2,400 - $2,600 small = $2,200 higher chances gettin hired if u hv completed ur ACCA / CPA.

I really don't advise you to state that you're a female, a lot of crocs in these waters. Take care! Fresh grads usually around 2k-3k, so your salary is so-so below average. No discrimination intended but usually companies don't prefer to hire female engineers.

Try to line up your budget if u think u can earn more than Malaysia then why not? Treat it as a stepping stone... Or you can try to nego for better packages such as a raise after confirmation / etc.

My advice is don't think so much about salary especially your first job here in sg. Just concentrate on gaining experience, the money will soon follow. All the best!
