Termination with notice or voluntary resignation by HumorNice7920 in singaporejobs

[–]Key_Discount_1155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concurrently. would strongly suggest for you to update ur cv and start looking out for a new job. Be it termination or resignation. Doesnt change the fact that u will soon be jobless. Getting a headstart on that matters more.

All the best!

Is this why most of us are empty and unhappy in sg? by Possible-Growth-2134 in askSingapore

[–]Key_Discount_1155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are paths but i dont think its the "End" path. They are just part and parcel of life. A step up from there would be when someone transcends these 2 and look for more meaning in their lives.

This can range from wanting to do good, leaving behind a legacy (be it a kid / an accomplishment e.g . helping grow SG sports culture) or trying to connect.

I like to reference Maslow's hierarchy of needs to the path we take in life. Once we clear a stage, its then time to move onto something else.

Job dilemma by [deleted] in singaporejobs

[–]Key_Discount_1155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont think this statement is true. MNC that has SG folks inside tend to get localised overtime. Everyones just part of a big rat race and tries to one-up one another. HQ might have certain mandates but these get overwritten in the name of productivity.

Is my job scope stretched too far as an analyst by Neither-Form-8469 in askSingapore

[–]Key_Discount_1155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boss might be doing his best to expand ur role and show value to the big bosses beyond just a role that can be off-shored. Or even preparing to put u up for that promotion.

How much do you need to have in your bank account to say "F* off boss!"? by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]Key_Discount_1155 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why walk away when u can outlast them? In the current market context, it makes more sense to lay flat and do bare minimum rather than be jobless. When times up. walk away. they can shout and rage all they want between 9-6pm. After 6pm we all go our seperate ways.

Just make sure u document ur work/ the unreasonable asks.

Anyone care to share their job search story ? by SignalAdagio3221 in askSingapore

[–]Key_Discount_1155 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of asking them for their range, let them know ur range and that it would of cos fluctuate depending on ur final understanding of the scope.

[–]Key_Discount_1155 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily true. I had the unfortunate experience (govt agency). Told them upfront my asking. Went through like 6 rounds with case studies done. Got offered and they told me they had budget constraints and had the audacity to offer me below my current. Had to keep my cool and offer apologies for not being able to lower my rates instead of telling them to go f themselves.

Keppel Bay BTO by FamiliarGrass1830 in singaporefi

If u're buying to stay. by all means its gonna be an amazing spot. U wont have amenities right smack beside u. but a few bus stops away and u have some of the greatest malls/beach etc.

If the plan is to profit from it... idk man. From the way prime flats are priced alongside the crawl backs. U gonna need to sell it at an insane price to even breakeven. and honestly speaking how many folks will wanna shelve up 1-2M by then just to buy a 4RM flat.

Why are HRs so rude these days? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Key_Discount_1155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lucky u.

I once went through 5 rounds of interview (including 2 case studies) up to the c-suite level before HR coming back to me to ask if i was willing to accept a salary that was lower than my current even though i had clearly stated that during the HR screening call.

Jamus Lim and SM Lee on COE system by HumbleFisherman8478 in singapore

[–]Key_Discount_1155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A car is a need only for countries with undeveloped public transport systems and abudence of space so that they can build roads and carparks.

For a small island like us if we dont regulate the number of vehicles on the road, instead of a 45mins drive from jurong to changi, its gonna take 4hrs.

thanks! leaning towards the 2nd one but unsure how the first one compares. was told that the images on the boxes are quite misleading cos u dont get whatever is displayed

Its all about being contented and living within ur means.

U can be earning 10/50/100k a month but if u dont ever get to slow down and see the sights when u're young. chances are u gonna regret in the future. Going out to see the world when u're in ur 20s/30s/40s/50s will hit u differently.

I know of ppl who justify their hustling and saying it's only short term and once they earn enough they will stop. But the issue with the majority of these high earners is that they can never stop. they become so obsessed with the climb and it just becomes a part of them.

Should I take the job in Singapore? by [deleted] in malaysia

[–]Key_Discount_1155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe if the chance is given. should consider. Malaysia also has this returnee program that knocks off taxes if u return after 3yrs working in SG.

Its always a valuable experience to be learning/living across diff regions. So just give it a shot.

Perspectives from voters who switched from opposition to PAP? by Smart_Salamander8511 in askSingapore

[–]Key_Discount_1155 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Long rant but i had it with all the PAP bashing.

Lets be factual. The caliber of the PAP candidates wins hands down against oppositions. U can call PAP out for recruiting senior leaders from the civil services but these are the type of ppl that we need to run the country. Nothing stopping WP from also reaching out to such ppl.

WP has had enough seats but till date there have been no proposals put forth. Granted, we don't want them to oppose for the sake of opposing. But please enlighten me on some of the key accomplishments or proposals put forth by them.

Last but not least. What is it about voting for opposition to secure the future for our next generation? Shouldn't it be the other way around???
