on my field, even engineer is paid beyond ur assistant manager... They are just titles, you will have all these nice titles if you are on banking or consultant lines, just to impress your customers

Thinking the same.

Have. Work harder to move up. Too many foreign engineers that can work cheaper faster better. If compete with them sure lose out.

These days there are too many foreigners in SG. Cheaper yes, faster and better I doubt. Sometimes these folks just cut corners and create other mess for cleanup later. In another way, to generate work to sustain...

bus (0.77 per single trip so go and back 1.54 one month around 40 )
phone bill company allowance s$50  so  0 expense for me
buy a honda city for mom in msia installment RM800 per month around S$266
air ticket back penang can claim from company twice per yrs 0 expense for me
yamcha with frn S$100 per month

Am I too jimat??  :blush:

lucky u got cheap room & claim some more

QUOTE(KilJim @ Jun 3 2017, 11:11 AM)
I see, perhaps having some SG working experience in your resume will help you get a job there

My personal opinion, you shouldn't save kao kao just to move to NZ, that's what ppl usually do to move back to MY
NZ should be able to give you a pretty good pay when you get there
You can't go there first and look for a job either if I understand correctly, so your savings won't help you achieve that long term goal too much
*
yes NZ has pretty good pay but i need to save kao kao to hidup b4 i get the job. their cost of living is pretty expensive like SG. employers will reluctant to hire if u're not there i believe, unless ur skill is critical.

mind if i ask what is the job position in SME that you got the offer?

I dont think thats fair. I think we malaysians have similar tendencies to cut corners as well, and i have met a lot of foreigners (ph, indians or thais) who are meticulous and really know their stuff.

In my workplace (just an example) im usually annoyed with my malaysian colleagues more than my other foreigner colleagues, especially with that bohchapness and tendecy to taichi everything to me.

This talk abt foreigner cutting corners is just sounds like an excuse to discount their actual competence and convince outselves we r still better than them.

ya, you need to fill up and they will record in MOM.
So when your next employer help you apply EP pass, they actually know your all previous salary.

When sign offer letter, my hr direct help me apply in front of me.
So you actually got to see company info like their revenue and number of employee in this company.

Too much negativity. Still with the MY mentality. One example is "you need to earn more to be atas in SG", I was like "duhh, which person don't want to earn more to be atas".

Bank account is not significant to her at all.
