QUOTE(knwong @ Apr 4 2017, 08:53 PM) This is true from my observation as well. What S'porean consider as ulu, is actually sap sap sui in terms of travel journey for us M'sian. Just get a motorbike. COE for motor is still acceptable. But those ulu/remote places you mentioned, all are manufacturing - biomedical, chemical, pharma, construction, OnG refinery, F&B, etc... what they consider ulu is still pretty okay to us. |

QUOTE(TheReaderReads @ May 1 2017, 03:49 PM) well I done all those SingPass sign-up and etc. To date, not receive anything from company or them after validating my sms notification Singapore does not have a monthly deduction. (though u can set up giro to do sth to that effect)during that period, my gross income definitely higher than 22k but no indication that I am tax. strange... Tax is paid yearly on a preceding year basis. (ie whatever u pay now is for last years income) |

QUOTE(iceypain @ May 5 2017, 09:25 PM) Yes, that is the prevailing view but even with the demotion compensation goes up. Hard to compare when even junior professionals in top tier banking and buyside roles in SG make north of RM50-60k/m all-in. I started in Msia but I would say that there are very few "good" buy side seats for fresh grads and these pay comfortably above what local IBs pay, pm me if you want names--i prefer to stay somewhat anonymous. Traditional or alternative? |

QUOTE(KilJim @ May 6 2017, 11:44 AM) I'm really curious, are there that many Top 10 uni grads in Malaysia that getting a position in IB is that hard? I don't think so, since the barriers to entry in Malaysian IB is relatively easy. I have friends from my ex-firm doing DCM/ECM roles in local banks such as RHB/CIMB. A top-10 Uni grad should get in relatively easily. I understand that for the US, or maybe SG, but didn't expect that for MY Or is it that they value other things like internships rather than degrees? Or maybe there are very few openings Edit: I just thought of the obvious, or is it that they mostly hire from people with experience in other lines of banking rather than fresh grads? I suppose it's a question of whether it's better to get your foot through the door in KL, then use that to jump into SG, or risk to chance of trying in SG (against all the competition here, especially without prior relevant experience) |

QUOTE(wongwongwong123 @ May 7 2017, 01:12 AM) Hey guys need some advice. Singaporean big 4s have a policy of hiring graduates from the 3 local unis (NTU, NUS, SMu) and also singaporeans from foreign universities. Foreigner fresh grads very low chance. Fresh graduate and now search auditor jobs in Sg. Apply 60+ in jobsdb, jobstreet etc since 3 weeks ago....get 1 offer from local accounting small firm, another reply yesterday asking for additional supporting documents... All jobs in jobsdb said "not suitable"....going to sg on mid May, originally easy for physical interview but get offer before that... Should i just accept this job first? scared that I won't get any interview invitation once I reject this offer Better chance with the mid tier firms. |

QUOTE(vincentleong @ May 12 2017, 04:51 PM) I'm driving a Japanese car at the moment. Thinking of switching over to a continental. (Everyone can think right?) Well, the benefit is, if u dun come into singapore u dun pay the VEP, and you can change more cars. And when u travel arnd msia u less worried abt getting robbed cos ppl target sg cars. |

QUOTE(coolguy99 @ May 19 2017, 10:13 AM) a typical working class foreigner in singapore: live in a small HDB room, go to work every morning having to beat the morning rush with cramped buses and trains, work is typically more stressful as employers tend to expect more from you (competition is also pretty stiff there as there is always other foreigners that are willing to do the same job with higher qualifications and lower pay), after work you will usually be so tired you just want to go home and take a nap. No la singapore is very nice. Old ppl work because they want to. There are alot of facilities that are well maintainrd and you can get alot of pretty singapore OL as your friends here.during weekends, malls are always very crowded with people, and it gets boring especially when you come to realize that malls in singapore are more or less the same (you see the same selection of shops in almost every mall that you patronize). if you are lucky with a couple of friends you can probably hang out doing something meaningful like going to the beach, cycling etc, but that doesn't happen every week. On some weeks you may probably end up alone as you don't have a family to go back to. Eateries are aplenty in singapore and you can probably get by if you are not that fussy about food. also, one common sight in singapore is that you typically see the elders working as cleaners or clearing tables at food court and cannot help but to feel sorry towards them and feel depressed after. apparently this is one of the govt's initiatives to get the elders to work to make them feel 'occupied' as they normally have too much free time. Work stressful is because of ability issue. If u are a real talent, work is not stressful de. Can even lim kopi in ur free time Malaysia on the other hand is such a crappy place that everyone wants to come out. Sgd is 3x okay. 3x is like sgd3x. Or short for s3x.. Singapore is awesome. Singapore is better. Dont talk shit about singapore ok. |
