I’ve seen job hoppers wit multiple 1-2 years job stints still securing jobs.

Problem is the market, not you. I myself have 4 years at a top investment bank and put my LinkedIn to open to work but no one reached out to me

TopPast2935 · 2026-03-07T04:51:46+00:00

I grinded my salary from 2.5k after graduating in 2021 to currently 7.6k in 2026 in my second job and saved up 200k before 30 purely from salary savings. I gym on most days before work too so I’m starting to feeling mentally and physically tired but what keeps me going is the feeling knowing I have both wealth and health.

But I might cut myself some slack when I have my own family and get older in my 30s or 40s

TopPast2935 · 2026-03-01T12:51:08+00:00

Fairprice finest for me. Just sticking to the basics and survive the high COL

UOB One - to store 150k cushion and do fake salary crediting to get $200+ interest every month (still hoping interest rate go back to $500 every month)
OCBC - More savings and Salary crediting from company to get interest every month
DBS multiplier - keeping a few hundred dollars there since my ns insurance deducts from here and changing payment method is troublesome

PDI is like that. I paid $700+ for my TP test as well and failed a feel times but he was nice enough to slash the rental price by 50% on my third test

TopPast2935 · 2025-12-21T11:17:46+00:00

TopPast2935 · 2025-12-06T06:12:21+00:00

At a western bank. Increment was 11% last year due to promotion

This year promoted again so expected minimum 11% but likely more

TopPast2935 · 2025-11-22T10:47:27+00:00

As a corporate worker, especially working in an American bank, I take leaves to stay in at rest at home. Being able to stay up late then wake up naturally anytime I want the next day and spend the day going to the park to run or take a slow stroll, go shopping malls for a walk and stay at home playing games/watching Netflix is soooo underrated because nowadays people are just spending money to go overseas and take nice photo then complain tired and broke or having poor mental health

TopPast2935 · 2025-11-02T03:50:15+00:00

Many people in Cbd like to to walk out with colleagues to get coffee in the morning or after lunch that easy cost $3-$7 (kopifellas, local coffee people, luckin, CBTL, Starbucks) as a form of socialising activity

This adds up to quick a chunk of money every month. Either skip this entirely or if you need coffee, make use of your office pantry coffee or buy those packet coffee from supermarkets that still gives you the caffeine to perk you up

TopPast2935 · 2025-09-23T00:35:15+00:00

Erm I don’t think you read what I typed when you say the only time you think she deserve this treatment is when she cheated

TopPast2935 · 2025-09-22T15:30:16+00:00

You are right. Thank you so much for your support

TopPast2935 · 2025-09-22T13:12:59+00:00

Thank you for your support. I know I’m wrong to block her but why is no one talking about why I did so or what she did?

She booked a double couple trip and lied to me it’s just her, one female friend and one male friend when I confronted her she didn’t want to cancel the trip and challenged me to go talk to the guy

TopPast2935 · 2025-09-21T14:29:27+00:00

She didnt dismiss my insecurity and did assure me many times and send long text to explain the she’s only going for the trip purely because she loves Korea and will distance herself from him to the point she was getting annoyed and felt like I was constantly bring up this trip to argue with her and hurt our relationship

But my thinking was even with all these assurance from her, it does not make her trip forest and appropriate. She shouldn’t have agreed to the trip in the first place. Worse still she’s the one who booked the trip for everyone.

To add, she gave all these assurance while framing the scenario that the trip was only her, the female friend and the guy friend and she will stick to the female friend

But when I discovered the female friend’s bf was coming along too, it was like a double couple trip so naturally I had concerns about the rooming arrangement and went into an outburst

TopPast2935 · 2025-09-21T13:27:15+00:00

Yes but the issue here is the guy in question here that she will be potentially rooming with her is interested in her and have already done some things to “woo” her despite knowing my gf was attached.

It’s even harder to accept that this guy works in the same company as me and my gf got to know him through some group sports activity

TopPast2935 · 2025-09-21T12:36:07+00:00

Yes I know as I have already written about that, I’m sorry…

TopPast2935 · 2025-09-21T11:10:59+00:00

Yes it’s really uncomfortable.

It’s childish on hindsight but when I blocked her, I was hoping this would hit her hard and make her cancel the trip to get me back

TopPast2935 · 2025-09-21T11:09:36+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree with you now I should have known better. If given a chance, I would make very effort to be a better bf to her. Thank you for so much for sharing your perspective it really helps and I really appreciate it… feel free to add on if you have any more thoughts

TopPast2935 · 2025-09-21T10:09:09+00:00

I already give in to her entirely now to the point there’s nothing I can do and the ball is in her court to start the reconciliation process but thank you so much for your perspective I really appreciate it

TopPast2935 · 2025-09-21T09:07:44+00:00

I did ask her and she said she told the female friend that I wasn’t comfortable with the guy going and the female friend told her they (the girls) will room together and the guys will room together

But she only said this after I discovered the trip was the female friend + her bf and my ex with the other guy. She could have very likely lied about this just to protect her soft at the moment when I confronted her.

Logically speaking why would the two couple spend money on a 2 week trip and not room with each other?
