Looking for an Employment in Singapore

[ptrlee]

I agree with my fellow forum friends that it is very subjective to say that a particular amount of salary would be sufficient for a person or not. People have different preferences and spending habits, so it is very tough to say that how much is good for a person.
As far as looking for a job in Singapore is like looking for a job anywhere else which requires a good amount of your time and energy. But if you have a good experience, like that of Riveronearth, you have an edge on others. There are consultants who can guide you through this and search a job for you.

Now things have changed, and even if you take banks like Citi and Barcap or UBS or CS or HSBC, there are a few hundred English, American, Swiss, German and others who are quite keen to work and are working here ...

You gotta compete .. and that is - well, if how you sell yourself ..

Good luck

very true. 10-15 years ago, foreigners living (working or studying) in Singapore were very scarce.
Westerners would be in Singapore on Expat term. They were provided with huge bungalow house, big cars, etc. It was very exclusive back then.

Now? I see many westerners staying in my HDB neighbourhood, taking bus to work, etc. And when I took my bike license early this year (Goodness, all the youngsters said that I am in midlife crisis, since I was the only "mature" student taking class 2B in CDC), I simply saw 3-5 westerners taking bike license too (yes, it's class 2B!)
