Can you elaborate more?
How about average bonus? Cpf claimed average 2 to 3 months for performance bonus. Aws is 1 month. Legit?

legit.

If you're doing IT support work, expect to clock in some OT every now and then to settle issues or reports.

Mind to share your concern if many colleagues are Indian?

For tech jobs in SG, especially software development related jobs in large org, having many Indian colleagues are common right?
*
The Indian indians like to play roti canai politics..
They will ask u do everything by way of logic or job scope.
When you go to them with your request everything must be sop or documented or contracted only they will do..

This is typical la, but nowadays not so much cuz very hard to find work in sg.

Hey guys, just wanted to know how is the current job market for tech fresh grad in SG?
I am currently in MY looking for SG jobs for the past few months unfortunately no reply from any company

My main channel for application is through Linkedin and Jobstreet.
*
You can try tech companies, the famous ones will look to grab local fresh grads.
It also depends what type of tech job you're targeting.
Nowadays the trend is skewing towards DevOps or cloud folks.

I tried applying to the tech companies, didnt receive any response. Hence I thought they were very reluctant in hiring Malaysians

I do have basic understanding of cloud and devops because I did my internship and part time in InfraOps in backend cloud while I was still studying. But as far as I see in the job advertisements, most devops and cloud role tend to point towards experienced candidate

I pm you. See if can help.

Hey, how to budget if 11k sgd/month? Single male, but with plans to marry in next year.

Looking for advice on if this is a good offer, where to rent, any tricks to save money etc
*
Wonder what you do...

Very hard to give ballpark advice but you should try saving u as much as you can depending on where you want to have the wedding.
More so if you're marrying a Singaporean partner.

Work in tech..

I want to maintain a high savings rate but not sure if I can tolerate just cooped up in a single room in a HDB 😭 Rent is insane there

For more entertainment options I expect to go to JB often, but just wondering if it is worthwhile staying close to border or not really gonna save much time? My office is on the other side of the island 😂
*
11k in tech is quite good le.
Should be able to save half if you have a frugal lifestyle and don't dine out atas places every day..

Have to Kiam Siap on the entertainment until wedding liao.

Not worth staying in woodlands unless you want lots of convenience
And travel frequently...

Any one is fine. Depends on your maintenance cost.
So far Digi and maxis has worked for me and I can even get signal at Punggol northpoint area.

Hi all,

Was wondering anyone been in this situation?
I am currently an ep holder for a few years.

I received an offer from company A last month, back then there were no other offers and the package seem good, so i accepted the offer. But the HR had some cock up on my EP application, they withheld it for nearly a month in order to clarify some matters with MOM.  They finally submitted couple days ago.

During this period, i was still getting interview calls. Because of the delay in the submission, i was a bit kiasi and went for most of the calls, as i fear the first offer will fall through.
Which resulted another company giving me a more attractive package.

So my question is, can i cancel the company A IPA once it is issued?
Any consequences or impact of this from MOM side? In terms of company B pass application?
*
U just have to go through the hassle of applying for ep and doing health checkup again.
