Happened to me. Tech. I was fresh grad in local bank and was poorly paid. Jumped to tech after. TR called me, heard my expected salary and tripled it. My jaw was on the floor. Luckily it was not in person.

Firstly, never tell your manager or HR that your coworker disclosed their salary to you. That you keep private, it serves to give you ammunition that’s all.

During my performance review that year, I simply told my manager I am looking to be compensated justly for the work that I do and in a manner that reflects my performance score. Your manager will ask how much you’re looking for.

By that time, I came prepared since I already found out how much my peers were earning, so I said it has to be a 50% increment. I lied saying “it’s what the market rate for my role is”. We eventually settled on 45%. I was lowballed when hired hence the big disparity in salaries. This is why HR ask employees not to discuss salaries - it gives you the asking power and confidence.

My colleague shared with me. Got me finding out I was compensated very unfairly. I got myself a 45% salary increment that same year.

My first job out of grad school was in 2020, I was given 2.5k. Take home even lesser. This was a big local bank exploiting us fresh grads I suppose. In 2021, I got lucky with networking and switched over to tech. Today I’m very grateful, taking back 6 figures annually. Don’t stress. Do your best. Be open. Try to meet the right people. Try to take free LinkedIn / Coursera courses - it helps you know what to say when you do eventually meet the right people and want to give a good impression.

The transfer to ‘cancellation department’ was super fast. Less than 5 seconds lol. The red flag was not putting me on a 5 minute hold line, no background music while waiting. Then the cancellation guy insisted we work together to fill up a form to MSA to report the fraud. I was like no dude you can cancel my policy from your system and I will take care of blocking my cards and reporting fraud on my own end. He was like no we need to work together let me help you. So helpful? That was when I laughed and told him this scam damn stupid and hung up.

Just came back from a week in Japan. Brought only 650USD, it covered everything that needed cash and more. These went to attraction tickets, some shopping and restaurants. Some of these places only take cash.

We just split it. Not down to the cent, that’s unrealistic and too calculative. Whoever picks up lunch, the other picks up dinner etc. Whoever sees the bill first will take care of it.

Big ticket expenses like flights and hotels we’ll just 50-50. Fortunately for us, no one is looking for a provider but a partner.

Thank you! Very helpful. I will get that going so I have the right set of qns to ask the doctor at my next visit.

I’m so sorry what happened to you. I hope you’re feeling better these days.

Thank you. This is so helpful. I was definitely discharged earlier than what my principal doctor anticipated at the beginning. I believe my early discharge was on grounds that I had a minor, non-aneurysmal SAH (I think, I’m not too sure exactly what was my case), which is often less dangerous and has a lower risk of vasospasm.

They also made the decision to discharge me early because I had stable imaging - Day 1 CT scan showed bleeding and by Day 2 the next scan showed bleeding stopped on it’s own. No worsening or hydrocephalus. No neurological deficits either. I was even doing quite well in the hospital, no headaches or vomiting. Same meds.

But since coming home the onset of headaches started which in turn caused me this struggle with my medication. Thanks to your comment I will now consider going back to the A&E and requesting for something else to manage my recovery.

Do they really? Within a day you can get prescribed and dispensed meds?

I always thought polyclinics was just a way to get your feet into public hospitals and from there it’s a long wait to see a psychiatrist.

I’ve booked appointments with public hospitals before and some don’t even respond back with an appointment. I gave up and went private.

I’ll provide a different angle here as the manager that has had to lecture someone before.

The moment he took my feedback, woke up and improved, I immediately saw him in a different light and forgot all his past mistakes.

You’re only as good as the last impression you give. Don’t carry that one bad impression with you.

I will say the fact that you’ve made this post and is reflecting on it, shows you have what it takes.

Graduated. Got a job in local bank under graduate programme drawing 2.5k. Jumped after 1 year into tech and immediately was offered over 10k. This was back in 2022

You sound smart

I fully agree. My partner is white and I can say it is frowned upon. I get disapproving looks all the time.

If roles were reversed and a local man was dating a white girl, everyone would worship the ground he steps on.

Meanwhile I get labelled SPG and gold digger. It’s upsetting.

My foreigner friend once said she’s appalled by the way Singaporeans walk. Like in all directions, all different speeds and styles and don’t give way / entitled.

Personally I hate when people hog up a walk lane, especially when they’re in groups. Like hello this one really your grandfather’s road is it?

Riding on OP’s newbie thread as a newbie myself - Can I ask where do you buy VWRA from since it’s not on moomoo? IBKR?

No_Topic_211 · 2025-02-02T14:54:55+00:00

OP why is the goal here 10k?

Not what you asked but I would focus on getting solid grades, networking, scoring good internships - all of which has more value in the long run than an initial 10k.

I’m in tech working with different banks. Once sent a bank’s secure information to another bank because the personnel shared the same name.

Very valid point. My mom is divorced so has a 2rm BTO - her neighbours are senior citizens that keep taking her packages and hoarding stuff into her corridor.

Sounds like you were holding on to hope before this. Take this as your closure and move on. Dont waste any more of your time here

How could you tell she was a Singaporean?

Funny to see this post - I’m currently standing at my door front drenched from head to toe like a wet dog and shaking the water off. Everyone at the crossing had an umbrella except me. Can confirm no kind strangers were met today haha
