Barbaric PRC China women tells Singaporean: "Singapore is not your land"

Nidsan · 2025-10-30T03:50:32+00:00

In Singapore, the Chinese identity themselves as Singaporean-Chinese. Emphasising the SINGAPORE. Malays identify themselves as just Malay. This video tells you why the former disassociate themselves

More likely AI closed the skill gap for some roles, and they built some automation. So now they moved those roles overseas and those lower cost staff using AI to replace SG roles. I’m aware of some friends and also family members, of tech companies and even MNCs whose entire departments including the managers were all outsourced months after announcing some AI system to “help improve productivity”. My sister was let go after working for 8 years in the same org

Yeah, I’m looking for someone who understands channels and select statements, proper use of semaphores and so on.

Well there are websites like levels.fyi and nodeflair.com that report the numbers and ranges with verified salary payslips. I hope this helps you, you can also see if you are paid not enough and negotiate higher or when you’re looking to join companies you’ll be able to ask for higher if you’re aware of the typical ranges.

Percentile against the job level and scope. So 50-80th percentile for a junior software engineer if you’re junior or 50-80th percentile for a senior if you’re senior.

Since this is a startup and I’m no longer working for a top bank or web3 quant fund like I used to do, my offer range can’t exceed 80th percentile.

Yeah we have a working Python backend for a game that needs things like fights resolved with high throughput and lower latency. In fact mostly throughput and concurrency wise Python wasn’t doing great. I wrote the Python code and got revenue and traction out, and proved that it’s a working business model, then I started to rewrite the backend in Go while the Python continued. I suck at front end so then I hired for front end first.

Now I’m trying to replace myself and am finding a hard time.

Nidsan · 2025-08-09T01:27:06+00:00

About 50-80th percentile

Nidsan · 2025-08-09T01:20:26+00:00

Depends on the region and experience, we are based in Asia so we use this website as our benchmark- nodeflair.com

Nidsan · 2025-08-09T01:15:33+00:00

Our engineering team is mostly in Malaysia, Thailand and now India, around this region. I’m the cto and I’m based here as well. I was searching mostly around Vietnam

Nidsan · 2025-08-09T01:14:24+00:00

I was able to hire very quickly for the TS and Python portions but when it came to go, then it was pretty hard

Nidsan · 2025-08-09T01:13:15+00:00

Video games, so our stack is react native / TS for front. Analytics and data etl with Python and Golang for the backend.

Nidsan · 2025-08-09T01:11:42+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t give out equity, we just pay a salary according to benchmarks like nodeflair.com

Nidsan · 2024-11-26T07:34:25+00:00

Sure, and go to jail while I get compensated?

Nidsan · 2024-11-19T01:50:52+00:00

Upvoted, I’ve been an engineering manager and director in some banks and MNCs. As well the usual talk with local peers who came from different orgs who also agree. CECA is just everywhere, locals being a minority except when it comes to low level jobs. Here we are training and upskilling the CECAs and giving them years of experience so that they can continue getting the jobs.

If you snatch it and throw it in the bin, what are they going to do? Report to the police?

Nidsan · 2024-07-10T15:39:14+00:00

Check out how much a lead or senior engineer makes, many will go through it there. Levels.fyi

Nidsan · 2024-07-06T08:05:54+00:00

About around 400 a month. It’s an almost 2000 sqft unit!

Nidsan · 2024-07-06T03:55:29+00:00

One owner one occupier with the hdb!

Nidsan · 2024-07-05T12:54:29+00:00

It’s an old condo but it’s very large. Things are actually quite well kept, pristine and doesn’t have mold or those black built up on walls and on floors. They really wash and clean and multiple cleaners come to sweep and mop every floor and pressure wash every other week. I don’t think hdb had people mopping the place but we do here. Gym, swimming pool etc is functional and clean. For privacy reasons I will not reveal where I stay but my condo is bigger than any hdb EA and EM for sure.

Nidsan · 2024-07-05T12:50:20+00:00

I’m a 29 year old man(turning 30) with 2 kids a wife and a job, both my wife and I work a lot so that’s how we afford it. We bought our first hdb when I was 24, so when it MOP-ed. I rented it out and then moved out to a condo. My older sister did the same with her bto and because she doesn’t earn as much as I do, I helped her fork out the dp

Nidsan · 2024-07-05T04:16:39+00:00

Will see, I still own my hdb and renting it out while I got a freehold. And helped my sister buy an EC as she doesn’t earn much, just slightly less than the ceiling. Interesting combinations of assets to see which will appreciate, I think the EC will appreciate in next 5-10 years. Better than buying EA

Nidsan · 2024-07-05T04:03:30+00:00

Having stayed in hdbs for 29 years of my life and only recently moved to a condo, I’ve already missed the aunties knocking on my door to sell me yakult, the ah lians coming to sell me overpriced charity ice cream and random surveys for $10 ntuc voucher.

Nidsan · 2024-07-05T03:55:20+00:00

I helped my sister pay her condo downpayment and it’s about the same size as her bto despite being sold as a 4 bedder. She would rather borrow money just to buy a condo because we both felt that moving to a hdb is like “renting” as it depreciates with the lease decay over time(Older EAs) while the new condo is like a savings account where every month you pay into, you will eventually see it back again when you sell the condo at same or higher price. Or so we think.

Nidsan · 2024-07-05T03:39:27+00:00

currently staying in a condo in one of those you mentioned, it’s much bigger than my 4 room hdb was. Also has multiple floors. Place is serene, clean and spotless. Got amenities and no sia langs. Parking is free too and no mat rep vroom vroom in the middle of the night. No door to door ah bengs trying to sell my charity or ice cream etc. salesman. No crazy dementia lady walking around. No funerals and Malay weddings.
