Hi guys..really need some opinions from you guys..recently i got a job offer in SG, and the office is quite near to the Tuas checkpoint (about 3km away)..Im planning to just rent a house near Iskandar Puteri area and commute everyday by bus..questions;
1) how long does it take to commute daily?
2) which area is prefereable to take the bus from? (bukit indah, medini mall, etc2)
3) can we park at sultan abu bakar ciq and take a bus over there?
4) is car pooling recommended? how to find such service that is trusted?
5) or just consider staying in SG?

Hi all, how's the retrenchment situation now in SG? Hearing some companies like Shopee and Grab have started.

Trying to evaluate the risk if we are a non PR and get retrenched.

If you're in tech doing front end stuff. Avoid those 2 places.
Backend still ok but not great.

I believe you're referring to IT industry? How about semiconductors, memory solution etc?

You can't park car at SAB CIQ. Although it's near but at Tuas checkpoint it doesn't allow passengers to walk to nearby bus station (even though it's walkable). You must take bus direct to Jurong.

Drive own vehicle or carpool is the best choice option. Start work first then find out from colleagues who are commuting daily via carpool then suggest to join

alot of those factory workers near Tuas ride bikes to commute.

Ouh noted on your 1st point. Ok, from what i can see (through Linkedin) doesnt seems have other Malaysian people working here (it is a small startup company), so carpool with colleague might not be possible.. That's why i was wondering does someone knows any good carpooling services.. i joined some carpooling groups in fb, but looks a bit shady...If you guys have experience using it maybe can share..like eg; typical price need to pay, hows does it work, etc2..

I received application invitation from "senior" HR for Garena's management associate programme. Checked salary 5k SGD looks enticing.

Not sure if management associate is considered "backend"?

Any reason as to why need to avoid those 2 places?

What VinluV means by "frontend/backend" is related to IT software development jobs.

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.

Anyone planning to travel back to vote? Hopefully it’s not weekday this time round.
