Guys do I need to bring ori degree certificate to MOM when obtaining my EP pass? Cuz when applying ep time, I just give the hr photocopied cert

Hi ,
does that mean UK degree in SG with 2yrs exp in factory as a technician can get around 3.8k ?
(freshie in progress) but my UK degree is distance learning, how to count ?
my degree is electrical and electronics , any hope to find a job with around 4k salary ?

Which field you planning to go into?

You do know that 3E (E..E..E...) is a super broad field right?

You can go electrical path or electronics path, do construction (residential/commercial electricity), panel/switch gear (manufacturing/project), HV distribution (Singapore power?), be electrical project engineer (in main con vs in electrical contractor), cross field into mechanical, go aviation (coz got electronics), do programming (coz 3E does learn some programming and usually good at logic thinking & debugging), semicon (manufacturing/design/product engineer) etc etc.

Such a broad field. Where to start? Want go automotive also can. General degree mah

Erm... Your UK degree is it washington accord compliant? Otherwise you might need to take additional half year course locally. Not so sure for SG but that's the case for Malaysia. If you go the electrical route, with UK degree you can't directly register with Malaysia's BEM & IEM. They don't recognise it.

Undergraduate to be specific. We have yet to complete our 3 advanced paper only to be taken while working. No degree either. Got in under S pass. Well I'll try my luck then

Wow thanks for the tip , most likely I will go to electronic side to continue my career due to I am working in manufacturing (test department) before and now still in debbuging field at lab environment, might still stick to electronic side

About the electrical route maybe a no-no for me, I left my mechanical part long time ago, what about going to electronic site ? Any other requirements ? I have heard one of my friend SG welcome ppl with degree with working experience true or not ?

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

may i know where to get gym $3.3?

anyone can help me transfer 99 sgd to singapore account? i can pay rm in advance first.

Sorry then I'm in electrical field can't help much

Quite true. But see your salary requirement also. Down here I think manufacturing and semicon jobs quite much less d. Too high cost If programming I think got better luck. Some of my friends doing quite well in programming field.

ActiveSG gyms? At some community centre

Oops... Seem like it's not tied to cc.

Asking that openly people will be suspicious leh.

I think you will have better luck finding a friend/relative to help you.

Oh ok, thanks for the tip
Any sifu around to help ?advice for a future electronic engineer going to SG make for a living ?

Just got a call from recruiter for new opportunity.
When I said 20% as my expected salary she said it is too high for the market rate.
Now the market rate fall on 8-10%.
Hmm...

I just received offer letter but its not my first choice...
I am currently waiting for another offer from.mnc...
Lets say i work for 3 months++ with EP...can i switch to this new job if i get the offer?
Any issue on MOM side?

Same the head hunter said it is like 10+- only but if this is the case what's th3 motivation for hopping around

No problem with mom but not sure if you can explain it to the mnc company. They can apply ep for you even when you're still with previous company as long as you didn't officially work for both company during the same period of time. Your second choice can cancel your ep when you officially leave them.

I still think the problem will be with the mnc company. Since you applied as fresh but end up you started working before waiting for their offer. Not sure if they will still hire you when you reveal it to them. No harm to try though. Can give reason coz you need that income for your family.

No more 20%??

Compare benefit, working hour, work load etc. Now I'm waiting another promotion to higher rank then probably gonna lookout for opportunities to jump ship. Working hour too long, certain period have to work 7 days a week, go home late everyday offer letter 5.30 never really 5.30. Work late but can't absent from morning as other parties work day hour only etc etc. 5.5 official workday, much less chance to make use of the weekend. Half day on Saturday normally end at 5-7pm just like normal workday. Expanded too fast also within the last 3 years of stay here. Benefits and bonus keep shrinking too. Overall salary package shrunken from previous year although got a pay raise.

All and all... But still good promotion progress. Just move higher then go out and aim for higher position. Can demand higher pay also

For microelectronic field, Front End moves faster than Back End in term of career progression. This is due to high turnover rate as the working environment is much more stressful. Comparing to manufacturing in general, you will see your pay higher than low tech field but comparing to professional job market as a whole, manufacturing line is the lowest. Definitely able to earn enough for living but very very basic lifestyle.

Going to consider which one for a better living then
Thanks a lot

I did have one friend worked for a semicon before. Earn bloody a lot from the overtime but no time to rest. Sometimes midnight work till 3-4 then 10am got meeting. Siao one... After OT he's getting like 5k+ for a fresh grad. He quitted just few months after that. Too pathetic. Never really bother to ask what he did when he was inside though.

active sg
go google it. I think it is government gym (not so sure)
per entry 3.3 u need ep to register

use app to register 1st before go top up at counter

yup just bring for safety
