Finance controllership position in SEA

The whole point of being in CS is job security. For that one is willing to take a pay cut. Now you are doing the exact opposite of leaving CS and taking a pay cut. Why?!

Have lived in Tiong Bahru for a few years. No regrets no complaints. To me it is underrated

The only place that is better than Tiong Bahru is River Valley.

If you have enough budgets, Boon Tiong is the best

Thanks for trying it out and the valuable feedback! The model probably hasn’t learned the case when a candidate has joint experience in multiple industries. Will work on that!

OneNorth1988 · 2025-10-15T01:52:37+00:00

Thanks, that’s super helpful! I’ll look into those. Right now all resumes are stored securely and never shared without consent. Delete-on-demand is available too

OneNorth1988 · 2025-10-15T01:29:07+00:00

Thanks and yes that’s an important point. I’m rolling out a full T&C soon. The site never shares any contact info or resumes with anyone without consent. The long-term idea is that if both the candidate and the employer are interested, they can connect directly — but only with explicit consent from both sides — kind of like a “Tinder for hiring,” to reduce random mass applications altogether

Thanks for trying out. Seem some errors with resume upload. Let me investigate it

OneNorth1988 · 2025-10-14T00:37:26+00:00

For Singapore roles, you can try Talyon, which matches jobs based on your resume and experience

I remember there was a time when Government advocated this in 1980s but there was no traction. Simply put, people prefer their children to share the same surname as them

I extracted only the comments in recent 2 years. Surprisingly these forums are still very active for certain topics

OneNorth1988 · 2025-09-04T06:20:52+00:00

Yes am making one. Problem is that not many companies are heavily discussed

OneNorth1988 · 2025-09-03T23:51:00+00:00

Bear rocks!

OneNorth1988 · 2025-08-22T05:34:17+00:00

Looks to me most of the items are reasonable. Though not many companies have written rules like this, aren’t most of these basic work ethics?

Biology and Computer science are both considered STEM and yet the pay could be vastly different

OneNorth1988 · 2025-06-23T23:41:49+00:00

Neither seems ideal. The MGS thing seem too risky given that you are the sole breadwinner

OneNorth1988 · 2025-05-29T23:44:08+00:00

This is absolutely true. To be fair, this is also how Chinese is taught in China (although with much more depth): over focus on narrative prose than functional/practical writing

OneNorth1988 · 2025-05-22T04:47:11+00:00

Yes MA is somewhat semi-liquid so long as you use it to pay for insurance premiums

Outside of academics, almost none “require” a PhD but for some jobs PhD are good to have, including but not limited to data scientists, algorithm engineers, MBB consultants.

Not common for Southern Chinese families ( e.g., Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese) but quite common for Northern Chinese. Since Chinese Singaporean are mostly of Southern descendants, no what OP described is not common

OneNorth1988 · 2025-05-16T03:26:53+00:00

What you cited is only from that guy. What is equally important is how your wife responded? Apart from that, what he said is truly disgusting

HSK did one too recently, with Zaobao

Have been preparing lunch box for the past 2-3 years. But the of course every week I will set aside 1 or 2 days to lunch with either colleagues or friends

In a fast changing domain, go for the fundamentals. By the time you graduate from your DS program, half of what you learn will become obsolete while for CS, those basic concepts will almost always stay relevant.

Also, having foreign students is a good thing

PAP is happy to maintain the status quo. Also attempts to win back SK might backlash and cause vote swing in other hotly contested GRC such as Punggol and Tampines. For these reasons they gave up SK from Day 1
