S pass. Work permit if mom didn't approve.

Definitely can earn more than in Malaysia. My coursemates who work in Malaysia only have about RM 2500-2800. They only agreed a raise of $100 after three months probation. Yea I will treat it as stepping stone since I am inexperience after all.

Gain network, follow by experience, then only money - that's the formula for success.

Thanks for the advice!

I did graduate from an Engineering course too so yeah, tough job cheap pay...

All the best!

Thats somewhat unfortunate. Engineers should deserve EP and higher pay. What company is it? A local or mnc?

Local company. I went to MNC first round interview but too many competitors.
I cant help thinking I am a cheap worker hahaha but I have no leverage to ask for more and this is the only job offer I got.

Among NTU grads, mechanical engineer median fresh grad basic salary is $3.2k. So yes you're right that you're just cheap labor

So sad.

is ur passport validity less than 24mth?

may be ard $2-300 lower than mean for a bolehland mech fresh grad. that depends on d nature of business of ur employer as well, if manufacturing, $2100 as a starter >> ok so so la.

don't let this small $ be ur determining factor here, treat it as a steping stone (tho steep) to start with. if u can prove ur worth, additional $500 upon confirmation shd't be an issue.

just skip spa/facial treatment for the 1st-6mths la...aa

Hi guys,

Need your expert help. My employer have applied EP for me 1.5 months ago. The initial result of the application was 'Rejected' so now they are appealing and pending for result. It has been pending for result for about 1 month now and I'm getting worried. The HR can't do anything but to wait for MOM. So, I have researched for alternative and found out that dependent pass can also work in SG, as long as they have Letter Of Consent. Thankfully, my husband is working in SG and I'm eligible to apply for Dependent pass.

Have anyone encountered this problem before? Thanks all!

yeah sgd to myr 3.025

up up away

i personally feel that all these dependent pass , ltvp ETC, are harder to apply than EP, somemore need to apply online and make appt, wait for result, not like EP straight forward , but no harm trying



dependent pas criteria



You can apply for a Dependant's Pass for your family if you meet these requirements:

Hold an Employment Pass or S Pass.
Earn a minimum fixed monthly salary of $5,000.
Are sponsored by an established, Singapore-registered company (usually your employer).

May I know if your home address and contact number all from Singapore, would it be easier to get an interview call?

Any source to find out the current status? Still keen to step into there. Otherwise might have to try for cabin crew.

Saying that my friends recommended me to placed phone n home address as Singapore to get higher chances for getting a call. Possible?

anyone has any engineeering job openings?

I have a brother-in-law who is based in Singapore (not to mention several friends who work in SG too) and if I were to try my luck with a job there, how do I start? And can I get my bro-in-law to become a referral or supporter of my application?

I'm 36 and looking at a new challenge, after over 10 years with the same company...

Has anyone have experience in getting insurance in SG? I am interested in knowing more esp. in those saving plan. With the current low interest rate offer by banks, is buying an insurance plan a wiser choice? I am very new to all these insurance as for the past years, I was covered by some other organisations but now I will need to get my own.

Appreciate if can hear some advice from you guys.
