Salary offer in Sg is not too high actually. I notice most of them work out very detail JD, it specified skills, domain, product, in a way that very detail. U can put high unless that position is exactly what u have been through.

Why not join in the online forum and meet some friends? Go to the church to get together may be it change u

perhaps u should say "I suggest for next weekend"

they are going to put a remark to your profile, people might know that this person is not serious and wasting their resources and time to arrange the interview for u. Make sure that is the job that u want before click apply

single life is dry n boring, no matter where u r, even at the home country surrounded by childhood friend, it would be the same also. Looking at friends get married, they have fun raising up a kid, sometimes I jeles also.
Look back at the college life, so much fun n joy.
Not because of u're away from hometown, it is because u're at another stage of life.

live life to the fullest!

No matter work in Msia or Sg, it's hard to get a chance to speak more English, especially work in the non-English spoken environment. How to improve English?

hello... I have a question, appreciate if somebody can help...
I got an interview at Macpherson road, I plan to take bus back to KL this Friday evening right after the i'view.
Any suggestion for the nearest bus stop with more choices? I want to buy the ticket on the spot.

What happened to AWS?

I thought something happened to Amazon Web Services.

I was there to took bus home last Friday, I chose Transtar, I was so dumb to realize the auntie is actually selling me ticket from another bus company Pacific express. The ticketing auntie is such a dishonest asshole in a way she deceived me by not convey that the bus she sold is not under Transtar, she made a call to pacific express.
What's more worst is the actual bus that I got in is not even belong to Pacific Express, that's a 3rd party bus instead. It took me more than 6 hours from Sg to TBS. Because it stops in Yong Peng, drop off passengers in Melaka.
And my seat was at the most last row in the back of the bus! The 6 hours massage chair like experience is unforgettable. And the auntie who sold me has never intend to convey to me, and I wasn't aware during that time due to fatigue.
And one thing I learnt from one of the lady who sit beside me, the only bus that has not stop in Yong Peng is St****rt, n they have their own e-commerce website to buy ticket in advance. I'm not trying to upsell any particular bus, just trying to rant the awful experience.

I actually bought it from their direct shop in Golden Mile complex,
No clue about the chances of getting it, that position is more or less what I been doing in the past, somehow the pinoy i'viewer seems prefer someone who has software development background, although that is a consultant cum support role.
The pay isn't high actually, there is a ceiling for that role.

I'm in a dilemma, and I need some advice. A foreign bank has offered me a software tester (black box) role, offer is quite good in term of salary.
Same time, I applied to another foreign insurance company (Project management role to handle all sorts of projects including software and insurance products, non manager level), but the result can only come out by next week. The manager has given positive feedback to my application, however the HR can only disclose the result by next week. Salary is SGD 60.00 higher than the bank offered.

As the date of commencement is very close, I need to reply back to the bank.
Both roles are non manager level, compare software testing (banking) to project mgmt insurance company (system & insurance products), which is the better way to go for?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice.
Already delay for a few days, now it's very moment and I need to go for the paperworks.
benefits from both sides seems to be no different. And Software tester seems to have no travel opportunity most of the time.
IMHO, I think software testing gets more career advancement, as he gets to test on all processes like ATM, bank statements, new software applications. I think software tester in bank has more opportunity to transfer his skills to any company, right?
On the other hand, PM role in the insurance company required high degree of education and knowledge of business processes, and ability to articulate system architecture. Drafting user manual is also part of the job scope.
Someone in a dilemma, and need more experienced sifu to advice.

Yup, this is my 1st job

This is make sense
A lot managers being kicked out from the MNC just because of office politics, they end up in some small company do sales, n they jump from company to company in their late 40.
Technical career is different, specialist with very rare skill and good portfolio can get 20k++ salary. e.g. Information security...
IMHO, manager is just a title, not more than someone who has that skills and knowledge to coordinate among teams. Open up the job board nowadays, I saw companies are hiring specialists rather than manager position.
As a newbie, I haven't come across, and I might as well listen to experience from people from all walk of life. Pardon me if I'm wrong.

Outsourced permanent job. Hopefully to gain more experience in banking, of course direct employment is far better in term of benefits and job security. Under no choice, this is the best option I presumed.

Did any PM quit his role to go back into technical role?
