Just some kind advices:-

1) Working in outskirts of SG usually pays more than working in the city. For eg: working in Tuas, Jurong can demand more salary than working in City Hall, Orchard or Marina Bay.

2) For rental, staying along the purple line usually is more expensive, follow-by Green line and the least expensive is the Red Line. But this depends whether are you staying near to City or not. For eg:-
Staying in Punggol rent may go up to $600, staying in Tampines maybe $550 and staying in Bukit Batok maybe just $500 for a same size room.

i lol-ed at ur "advise" outskirts of sg tuas jurong r all factories so u xpect a guy wif a business degree go to those places to work for higher pay? wat u say is solely industry dependent nuthing to do wif the areas u work. lol those bankers CEO brokers al in the cbd areas r havin lower pay then those workin in the "outskirts" of sg??

2nd one as long as u r within the city limits dun care wheter u say in a shack or in a condo it'll still b expensive irrelevant at all who doesnt know stayig further is more exp.

hey , .. im wondering what are available electronic or electrical companies in sg ? ... im referring to those which are well-known. well i only know there is national semicon. ..

as of now the recruitment section in the papers hav almost 0 vacancies for manufacturing engineering posts compared to 6months ago u wanna coe in mid next year good luck

QUOTE(JuNz-V @ Nov 22 2008, 01:57 AM)
i need some advise from experience ppl.. this is my scenario:

i've already been in Singapore for 1 month +.. as my visa expired for the first month, i went out to Johor n came back to renew my visa and prolong the staying period..
then i got an extension of another 1 month..

so question is, are there such rules or regulation stating that i cannot be in Singapore for 2 months, n that i have to go back for 1 month before coming back to sg again??

experience ppl pls advise, its kinda urgent..
btw, my purpose here is to job hunt n it has been 1 month+ since i came here..

thanks in advance..

This is absolutely true, this is wat companies in Tuas/Bukit Batok must do to attract employees.
All of us like to work in CBD. If those companies in the outskirts don't pay about $200 to $300 more, no one will be willing to work in Tuas area where you cant assess there by MRT.

This is what I experience, last time I got a job offer in Tuas, they willing to pay me $4000 but in City Hall, they willing to pay me $3,750 only. Both companies are listed and are in the similar industry and my designation oso the same. So in the end, I work in Tuas.
Didn't I mentioned that you must compare the furthest area with the same size room? How can you compare the rent in Orchard with the rent in Bukit Panjang? You must compare the similar condo in Punggol, Bukit Panjang and Boon Lay for example.

u were mentioning tat staying along the green/re/purple lines would be cheaper if the guy who doesnt know much bout sg reading this forum will take it tat avoid the purple line coz sumone mentioned at its xpensive compared to red n green which is totally untrue it isnt along which "line" u stay the price of rent is subjected primarily the location (town n non town) 2nd accessability (mrt lrt bus) 3rd facilities around the area (shoppin center,market etc) 4th the neighbourhood so on n so forth
