After covid i got 3 such offers.

All working remotely for Singapore companies.

Rejected. pay scale in accordance to malaysia market.

It is just a new way for them to exploit cheap labour.

i'm wfh for a singaporean company.. accounting firm.. so far so good..

good thing is the bosses and colleagues are nice and genuine type, no office politics, no drama.. workload is not too high.. decent salary.. and being wfh of course save so much time on commute and eating out.. have time to cook my own lunch and dinner so can save more money.. at lunch time can have a nap..

bad thing so far is need to turn on laptop camera where everyone can see everyone's faces.. boss say do this because to imitate office environment where can see everyone, or call out for meeting to another chatroom.. can only turn off during lunch time.. but i don't really have a problem with it though.. seems like everyone sometimes will disappear from their camera to do house chores and boss didnt mind at all..

But in the end it all really depends on your company arrangement and how the do it lar.. for me so far i like it working here

Regardless of which company, if work in Singapore pay must in SGD market rate. If work is in Malaysia get paid in MYR market rate is fair.

Turn on camera when wfh? Can see that there’s no trust by your boss.

Most new jobs they won’t advertise as full WFH but what most people will do is once employed you negotiate with the boss once you are confirmed in the new job. You need to gain boss trust first

My Malaysian consultants are "Singapore based" seconded to Malaysia earning SGD and getting per diem everyday and stay home paying Malaysia expenses.

Such good deal but still won't wanna re-join consultancy.
