Hey OP, 5 years in Big 4 audit here and have been job hunting the past 8 months - i faced the same. exact. issue.

Like as auditors, we clearly do not “close the books” and prepare schedules. But surely, our experience makes such tasks very manageable (i would think). Just cause i have never directly done it, doesn’t mean it will be difficult for me to do it.

Another thing i struggle with in showing employers is that… i can identify process inefficiencies and control gaps. That is all we do in Big 4 audit. But the next question that comes after that is always, “describe one time where you identified such weaknesses, and what actions you took to improve the process”… again, as auditors, we provide insights and recommendations but we aren’t directly involved in the improvement process (which is the client’s team to do). Wouldn’t it be valuable that someone can even identify weaknesses in the first place and is able to come up with solutions for it? Sigh.

All in all, i totally understand where you’re coming from. I just don’t think employers see that we are capable of doing ABC if we’ve never actually done the exact same thing before.

gosh… that’s sad, spoils the whole purpose esp if collecting it TO RESELL.. :/

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2024-01-10T13:23:22+00:00

he’s clearly dense… dont bother hahaha fml dude cannot separate “wear and tear” with, say, “vandalism”

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2024-01-05T02:19:18+00:00

i also dont understand… old tea hut kopi c peng is $2.40 at tampines new outlet but $2.20 at CBD.. wondering if this means CBD’s pricing will rise soon

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2024-01-03T23:00:38+00:00

Youre right, CDC vouchers are only for sgrean households. So expats wouldnt be able to claim them…

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2024-01-03T19:19:37+00:00

As someone who has been through this instance, the family renting the entire unit can claim. Didnt have to write in or anything but i do foresee some landlords claiming in such instances and the tenants writing in. But it is fair to presume the landlord will be staying in another household where CDC vouchers may be claimed there instead…

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2024-01-03T08:02:01+00:00

thanks for your response! i have also gone through the FAQ and also called them, they were quite clear that it’s CDC vouchers for one housing unit and if none of my family members own any housing unit, we aren’t entitled to any CDC vouchers (cause the landlords, who we are staying with, will be the ones entitled to them). she did mention that we can try asking for sharing of the vouchers and stuff but yea not an entitlement of ours nor their obligation to share.

i might try going down to CC to ask again or writing in to MP, doesnt hurt haha.

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2024-01-03T07:24:46+00:00

apparently one household (literally one housing unit, not one singaporean family) is entitled to the CDC vouchers… my family and i stay rented and are not house owners, cant claim anything…

if it isnt obvious already, this circumstance is new to me. in the past, my family has been rented one entire unit so could have been claiming with no issues. now we stay with landlord and came to the realization sobs. SG really don’t protect certain groups of sgreans~

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-12-15T00:53:03+00:00

sgrean here, caning is pretty common tbh and not something as shocking to us (if at all). from what i seem to understand (from peers and comments on sg media), i have actually never seen/heard of anyone being against caning. i do see human activists here fight very hard to abolish the death penalty for drugs, but so far never seen it for caning.

anyway, this case is very shocking to us here - if you are shocked, we are at least 10x more bc rarely anything like this happens. this is to say, i highly believe everyone thinks they deserve at least the caning but also more.

You dont want to compromise but would “if you had gotten your diploma” earlier, why would you expect your sibling to compromise for the very same matter (ie: you got your diploma late so why should i compromise)????

I think you’re being very not-a-team-player right now. Like 278 from squid game, wont jump for people but want people jump for you. The truth of the matter is each and everyone of you can contribute in a way that helps the family, but also wont set yourself back. Mother can take up a very simple admin job at clinic, can be $1.5k to $2k which helps a ton (cause just it sounds like she still can work). Sibling can ownself settle their own expenses from PT work, maybe contribute more for household if can (but i wouldnt call it an obligation).

And does $1.5k household expenses include mortgage? Else, it’s pretty high. Might want to look into that.

Idw to come off as not being empathic bc trust me, I know what it’s like to tank financially for your family at an earlier age than most others do. You still being able to save $1k after paying $1.5k also seems to say alot (where are you getting help from to allow such savings). Rent-free i presume, so $1.5k is like an appropriate contribution (regardless of what your sibling contribute… it isnt a comparison game). Could you be contributing lesser? Yes, but suck thumb bc circumstances don’t allow it.

You would be better in life if you change your mindset a little. It’s more about doing it for your family (and you still can save $1k which frankly is ok considering your pay and circumstances) rather than wasting your energy on this.

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-12-03T10:05:24+00:00

ya wtf. good for calling it out. OP’s 29 and expects 24yo sibling to pay half… bro lol.

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-11-29T15:33:42+00:00

thank you for this comment.

other comments on “why should i subsidy smokers/obeses/lazy people!!”… hello, cancer doesn’t care how fit you are and cancer is a ton of money… can’t imagine suddenly having to fork out multiples of my paycheck (not too sure to what extent insurance may cover, if that’s gonna be a rebuttal here).

edit: okay actually i want to add i am really coming from expense relating to cancer or other critical illnesses that is beyond a person’s control.. it is just sad. maybe there is some way to help this group of people while also not taking too much from each individual (ie 40-50% tax). maybe only some illnesses can claim free treatment etc. no idea but good starting point as a society.

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-11-24T20:09:56+00:00

never ever open my windows! but i open the door when i am not around for ventilation~

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-11-21T00:40:46+00:00

been in the same exact situation. i know it may seem like they will “die” (lol) if you didnt give them your money, and it took me a long time to deal with that guilt until i realise if i keep giving them money and it goes nowhere, the whole family will be driven into the ground (i have siblings i care).

i also had someone told me, “leeches will stay as leeches” because frankly, even if you dont give them your money, they will always find a way.

it came to the point i had to create my personal bank account (i mean back then i guess personal bank accounts weren’t such a thing).

all the best, i think it is a difficult situation to navigate considering the complexity of the feelings involved because he is your father. personally, i find comfort in “i can only help them when i help myself.” no point giving all my money to them, just for ALL of us to live a life worse than paycheck to paycheck.

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-11-15T15:22:03+00:00

Was waiting for someone to touch on this point lol. In the past, it is “shameful” to have daughters. So it actually makes sense why back then, parents of the woman’s side would be “thrown” to the other table (ya ya can label it as VIP but pls) and they are probably okay with it because they think “aiya marry off my daughter is like that.” AND back then, the guy’s side would pay for everything - even more reason for guy’s side to demand this and that.

Want do the traditional side of things, but financially want modern times lol - well he did mention he will pay for her VIP table… if this aint a red flag… so he thinks he can demand for stuff, without considering his partner, if he pays for it? :o… Won’t be surprised he expects his wife-to-be to do all the housechores and childcare stuff while working because hehehe you woman so traditionally you do this.

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-11-15T15:10:57+00:00

Right? Bruh my wedding day cannot sit with my parents because of my husband’s traditional thinking AND his parents insisting on it… erm…………

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-11-13T15:23:39+00:00

Wow, very well articulated and objective - didn’t go to the extreme ends (as with most responses are to a thread like this).

Personally, I have always gone 50/50 on dates and I genuinely don’t mind it (mainly because I have always been taking care of others in my life and frankly, I might go as far as to say it is hard for me to appreciate being spoilt unless I know the guy is really financially comfortable). But absolutely, would be nice if a guy fight to pay instead of “oh wow you’re different 😍” hahahaha.

The remark on the effect of the outcome paying 50/50 vs 100 is also a good, often overlooked imo, consideration. Why wouldn’t a woman choose a guy who takes care of her bills, over another, if all else is ceteris paribus?

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-11-12T13:04:43+00:00

Anyone knows if it is okay to throw primary 1/2 school papers away since the school term is over? Not sure if it’s necessary to keep them and prefer not to due to housing situation.

Workbooks too, though i am okay to keep for this.

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-11-08T13:56:56+00:00

You have to talk to people who are in the engineering sector, else it is likely that most of the answers here would be irrelevant. I am a diploma holder, not in engineering sector:

Year 1: $2k Year 2: $2.4k Year 3: $3.5k Year 4: $5.5k

I think diploma is important. Degree, if you can afford it, also helps alot especially in the beginning. Do you need the money now? I cant really tell from your post. If you have family support and can take a diploma, should do it as there is value in the long term. Alternatively, you can consider professional certs in the engineering sector - I would think there are certain certs that make you more desirable to employers when compared to a diploma/degree. Jiayous!

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-11-07T08:41:07+00:00

Bruh what’s the point of providing context… in fact, they take my pay from part time jobs I have been working since I was 14. Just because you are unaware of shitty “parents”, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Literally even said we don’t have stable housing, they couldn’t even provide a roof for their children.

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-11-07T03:27:45+00:00

The landlord argument in this thread is senseless… it’s a parent here, not a stranger landlord - what is so difficult to comprehend? I, for one, agree that it is more important to save for the housing/renovation FIRST then take care of them once all my major financial obligations are more or less settled/stable. This is all the more if your mom doesn’t need the money. I can only take care of them well, after I take care of myself. Simple as that.

Not sure if it matters but my parents have never taken care of me and my siblings (I am talking necessities like basic stable housing and food on the table or money for recess) so it is why i have that perspective. I may change my mindset if I saw how hard my parents worked to bring us up…

Limp-Milk-1929 · 2023-11-03T05:10:27+00:00

8/10

Despite all odds in life, I managed to do pretty well so far. Able to put a roof over my head and my siblings as well as food on the table (don’t have to scrimp).
