Depends on how many years of exp and in what line you previously doing and what your upcoming job scope would be.

According to a mag i read on average salary for IT personnel in singapore, a freshie like network admin will earn around 2200-3500.

If you got technical certs like CCNA, oracle cert, MCP and are a certified network engineer, system anaylst, you can command on average 3k-5k. Managerial role around 6k-10k.

The most i've heard is if your IT manager at the management level, you can command upto 120k, a month but i heard they want master for that kind of role, or twin degree in both IT and management.

Why dont u try and find out?

Alot of unskilled malaysian earning more in sg then what some professionals can earn in malaysia. But skilled personnel diff case, also depend on the company whether they deem you fit to pay the salary which "you" expect. If cant reach to agreement, then just go find a company which can accommodate your salary expectation.

Looks like someone has alot of free time.

Learn about what?

How much ppl earn or what skills you need 2 earn a salary which you are comfortable with?

Previously got one fella mentioned his dad earned rm160k a month. Every month can buy a honda accord 2.0 full spec.

How much is your rent? A fren of mine earn 1600 still ok, Just that not much in savings but can survive. If ikat perut means only eating at fastfood a few times a week, then better stop eating unhealthy food.

This is just a rough guide coz average can mean you get lower or higher.

Yea, somemore gotta compete with IT engineer from Philippine and india where they will take the job below 30% market rate. Coz to them, its oledi "very" big money compared to what they would be earning in their own home country.

You should always count all of your expenses and deduct it from your salary since u never know if they may cut it due to economic excuse. Then you will be grumbling about why u dont earn enough to sustain yourself and such.

You'll be fighting with ex-fund managers, some stock brokers, financial analyst and other ppl who are over-qualified but are out of a job.

My bro has en empty room at pasir ris, u interested?

marry the fella for the money, but cheat behind his back.

Even PR can expire?

Like that should be temporary resident, not permanent coz theres nothing permanent with 5 years.

Generally better to buy dell from malaysia rather then from singapore or other countries. Maybe coz main asean center is in malaysia.

Will be buying a new pc for my parents when dell ships win 7 on their machines.

I wonder is PSD allow ppl of a certain race to enter uni's when they

1. Can afford to goto a private instituition
2. Dont have the necessary credits to study there

is it that arbitrary? I wonder how they would answer if someone where to say it would be a waste for those who are eager and scored well but the quota for the "others" is maxed out.

I thought that the leftover brilliant ppl could get assistance such as scholarships from companies who practice CSR.

Btw, lets say im thinking of applying for PR, if i do get it, if i not mistaken its valid for 5 years, but what happens if i dont work in singapore for the 2nd year of my pr validity but then return back to get a job on the 4th year, its still valid right?
