Good day all. How much is current payscale for IT dev 5exp in all rounder for mvc? And the risk of going back to malaysia? Would the salary drop? Lets say MYR10k to sg is SGD5k then malaysia would base on SGD5k then make it MYR7k?

Not sure about your case, but I will ask for employment letter stating current salary in malaysia for backup

Check your PM smile.gif

btw guys for opening bank account, proof of address documents,can I use certificate of stamp duty for room rental? They don't accept room rental agreement and I don't have phone bill statement because I'm using prepaid now as it's paid by company previously. The bank staff wasn't very sure and ask me to bring it over to try.

For me, I opened up an account in OCBC. They accept rental agreement with cert of stamp duty.
POSB die die need to have phone bill which I'm also using prepaid. They say try ask Telcos to provide me a letter the prepaid belongs to me.
Anyhow, u can personally go to the bank branch and ask around, some can open up with company recommendation etc.

Hi, thats great to hear. I went to OCBC near raffles place, at first i show the rental agreement, he say they dont accept rental agreement then I recall my agent send me a screenshot of the stamp duty cert so I show to the staff, he say he cant confirm but he ask me to bring original copy over and he will help me to check with his superior. Going to try to open tomorrow by using cert of stamp duty. By the way, do I need to bring 1k cash for opening account or I only require to bank in later after opening the account? The staff ask me to bring my EP, Malaysia IC and proof of address only for OCBC 360 account.

Hi, just open my account today, not require the SGD 1,000 on the spot as long as you bank in within a week will be sufficient.

I did not survey much but mostly get opinion from my friends, colleagues and bosses who worked here, all suggest me to open OCBC 360 accounts thus I just go with that. By the way, by using certificate of stamp duty is sufficient enough to open bank account at OCBC.

Hi, just to ask a quick question, any websites to look for jobs for fresh grads in Singapore ? Any hint, because I have applied quite a number of application, either rejected or no reply. Any tips on finding a job in Singapore with low or no experience?

Also, a company is willing to hire me as an Intern, but they ask me to get my own working pass first before approaching them... I emailed MOM and found out that I am not eligible for Work Holiday Pass as I was a student in a UK university but branched in Malaysia, may I know which pass am I eligible for ??

Thanks!

I got the HSBC visa infinite as corporate card. No choice have to use it.

Pro - free airport transfer, free lounge access, free golf course in SG and some discount in other places, petrol discount.
Cons - Dollar to air miles ratio is low, annual fee waiver success rate almost nil, expensive annual fee, 600+ without HSBC premier acc, 400+ with the account. 600 nothing to u la annual income 120k wub.gif .
