QUOTE(Eve_1989 @ Aug 19 2022, 09:17 AM) Ya I was confused and rejected few times for the Proof of address too cos when I submitted the employer letter as advices I received sms saying POA is invalid 😅 so I went again to the branch directly and they resolved + issued my debit card directly 🥸🥶 Credit card is much easier. The longest/complicated process ever to get a bank account and get KYC-ed myself😂 thinking how bout Credit card if debit is already this “hard” The bankers can happily up your limit to the max for you. Hehehehe I suggest you browse sites like singsaver and get a freebie with the credit card. Eve_1989 liked this post

QUOTE(jay.li @ Sep 11 2022, 02:33 PM) Currently using Singtel prepaid in SG, just moved here. I am also using Digi postpaid previously in Malaysia. What's your budget? Anyone else using dual sim on their phone? What options do I have if I want to maintain my Malaysia mobile number, but don't want to pay so much? But I still need this Malaysian number, and also for calls and data sometimes whenever I am back in Malaysia. I pay rm30 a month for my Digi postpaid. |

QUOTE(silverwave @ Oct 2 2022, 11:56 AM) Hi all, how's the retrenchment situation now in SG? Hearing some companies like Shopee and Grab have started. If you're in tech doing front end stuff. Avoid those 2 places. Trying to evaluate the risk if we are a non PR and get retrenched. Backend still ok but not great. |

QUOTE(TOS @ Oct 8 2022, 02:51 PM) I received application invitation from "senior" HR for Garena's management associate programme. Checked salary 5k SGD looks enticing. no la. frontend is like web developer, mobile application development, Customer UX, etc etc. Not sure if management associate is considered "backend"? Any reason as to why need to avoid those 2 places? Backend is like quality, infra, devops engineer. HR should be stable work, but nontheless pls have backup plan. QUOTE(Find The Way @ Oct 8 2022, 05:15 PM) What VinluV means by "frontend/backend" is related to IT software development jobs. +1 to your post. Recently many tech companies around the world started hiring freeze, major retrenchment, or business downsizing. I believe that's the reason VinluV suggests to stay cautious with tech companies for the moment. I believe Sea/Garena/Shopee is one of them. Try to search online to see if there's any news related to your interested company. Tech companies going thru lots of restructure now that covid is "over" and we start looking for cheap labor again. Unless your job is those niche ones, don't hop too much. This post has been edited by VinluV: Oct 10 2022, 10:45 PM silverwave and TOS liked this post

QUOTE(Jestarz @ Nov 2 2022, 01:14 PM) Is it? Well, it's okay - there's no cancellation fee, and i can cancel anytime. I'll just cancel after I get all my stuff settled. All the sim only plans are the same bro. singtel /GOMO has the best coverage but pricing is not so good. no cancelation fee, but if u cancel halfway through the month, u still have to pay for the whole month. |

QUOTE(NGV22 @ Jan 9 2023, 06:03 PM) not sure if these have been asked before. But in your current opinion, what you all think of contract jobs? I am in the tech industry and it is so common. My main concern is the job security as from what I heard normally if retrenchment, contractors are to go away first. take it as projects. After the project is finished, then you either need to move to another project or client. starting out in contract is fine to get lots of exposure and high annual salary. In Singapore Job Security for tech is rather stable provided your skills are constantly updated, the caveat is like Shopee case; where you can foresee critical role will be kept while non-essential or outsourcable roles will be axed. If possible try to hop from contract to permanent roles in your mid-late 30s and try to get core roles in your 40s. |

QUOTE(vaan4 @ May 28 2023, 09:22 PM) I am moving to SG from KL for work in a couple of weeks' time, and plan to stay at hotel/hostel first while searching for a room to settle in. No. Carousel is like Craigslist, sometimes good sometimes shit. I have looked at property guru, 99.co, and Carousell for rental options. Do you know if Carousell is a reliable source? Define your location n needs and find a proper hostel with security to lock your things. |
