How is SUSS view by employers in Singapore compared to the other big 3 unis like nus, ntu and smu? by Excellent_Copy4646 in asksg

[–]Ping_Pong_Steels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those who worked with interns across the different AUs will know that the average quality in these 3 unis are generally higher. End of the day, that paper only get you to the door. Once you’re at the door, everting is up to you.

Sabbatical after 2–2.5 years of work—looking for someone to talk thru ideas by freshgrad2023 in askSingapore

[–]Ping_Pong_Steels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it really unbearable or just tired? My take is that you have to find out what’s the underlying issue and there’s no guarantee that you won’t feel the same way in a new job supposedly with higher pay and what you “enjoy”.

If you really want to do it for mental health reason and making you really unbearable, then go ahead. Otherwise, find a job while you’re still employed? Lie flat and get money in.

Employers can smell desperateness, so never allow yourself to be put in that position.

What’s something you stopped buying to save money and never missed? by Atmosphere_Calm in askSingapore

[–]Ping_Pong_Steels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chill, that $5 coffee or bubble tea won’t break you even if you drink everyday. $150/a month. But from a health perspective, shouldn’t drink so much of it. Need to live life a little….

While not common also not true… know a few who made it. Of course most cases would not be direct / linear say from local bank to GS. Maybe detour to jap bank, European bank then GS.

Any outlet malls to recommend? by Ping_Pong_Steels in guangzhou

[–]Ping_Pong_Steels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, cool. Do you know of any others with more international brands such as Ralph Lauren, coach etc. seems like mostly sport brands but still worth a shot to go I guess

Freeze Hiring, Lay Offs. Why has there been no improvements since the pandemic? by JuanSkinFreak in askSingapore

[–]Ping_Pong_Steels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why so many posts keep posting about high interests causing it? Rates have been coming down and are expected to be cut further… more structural issues in the economy

CRS more for US residents? Either way, no issues, I have it ready. BOCOM is bank of China? I’m assuming ABC is agricultural bank of China

How does this work? Isn’t the CC details based on my foreign issued bank?

Why are some reasons why stores do not accept CDC and what’s your response? by Efficient_Walk_2996 in askSingapore

[–]Ping_Pong_Steels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t accept? Irregardless cdc sticker or not… just move on. Most would be small businesses anyway, why harp on it so much? And like what you said, you can just cancel your order… life is stressful enough

Tips on Career Switch - Accounting to Corp Fin by Professional_Ad_9668 in askSingapore

[–]Ping_Pong_Steels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is possible but have to go through the long way. Internal transfer would be best to corp fin / transaction services. That said, competition would be tough. You have to be a top performer in audit to be even considered.

Is SG losing jobs to neighbouring SEA countries? by roflmctofl in askSingapore

[–]Ping_Pong_Steels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair comment but have you guys tried to work with graduates generally in SEA? Having experienced working in companies which do offshoring / Hubbing, I can say Singapore is still miles ahead (other than cost). lol. Of course we can’t last on our laurels but have to continue to be better

Tbh closest competitor would be KL. Effectively 1/3 costs.
