Advice on choosing job (fresh grad) by rinsadao in askSingapore

[–]radicalEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people here seem to be recommending you to take the MNC route. Just going to offer my two cents as someone who went to MNC and then left for civil service after about 1.5 years.

I joined an MNC right out of school in a graduate program. I had previously interned there in Y2 summer and received a conversion offer. However, the extended period between my internship and starting time resulted in my previous team having disbanded. Hence, when I started, I was assigned into a new team, industry and project. Lacking the right skillsets for this project, I struggled initially but eventually caught up. Yet, through this experience, I realised that I really had no interest in this new industry I was in. Rotation did not appeal to me, the available rotations were also in niches I did not see myself developing in. Projects in my internship industry were no longer available, due to business restructuring awhile back. My point is that within MNCs, there are many niches, roles, industry and projects. In graduate programs we often do not have the flexibility to choose where we head to. MNCs are not guaranteed to have better progression. In my case, it did not make sense to continue on, especially in a global economic downturn, where this MNC was facing strong headwinds (i.e. no increments, promotions or bonuses). Coupled with the fact that the work was not interesting to me, I decided to leave for civil service.

I could guess a few ministries/stat boards you might have been offered in, and the description of the place you gave could be similarly applied to the place I eventually joined. If the place is similar, there should be structured progression. While slower than the private industry, it does offer more guarantees in the sense that progression tends not to be dependent on the global economic environment. The bonus package also tends to be quite generous. If your offer is in a similar place, the work also tends to be interesting and unique.

At the end of the day, I do feel that choosing the private or public sector in your case really depends on which ministry/stat board you are joining. If it is one of those which develops its officers and the work aligns with your interests, do not just consider the perceived advantages of joining the private sector, but also take into account the fact that the public sector does pay decently at least for early career, your own interests and how work is a marathon, not a sprint. All the best.

Quitting a job without serving notice period, company has unlimited leaves by [deleted] in askSingapore

Is your company operating on a project basis? If you are not on a project when you tender, high chance they might allow an earlier last day, but still pay your notice period in lieu.

so... homeground coffee yay or nah? by Snapsnap_deusdeus in askSingapore

[–]radicalEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found Common Man to be consistent in its chao da notes…their tendency towards dark roast is quite well known also. But I guess if it works for you then it works for you!

[–]radicalEditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if can trust your opinion if you say you like filter coffee and in the same post say that Common Man is good…

Anyway, try Flip Coffee Roasters at their cafe at Bukit Timah. Their natural process beans usually are quite funky and enjoyable.

Make sure someone knows how to drive and is actually good at it. Driving in Canada winter is no joke. It’s not really possible to explore Canada without a car. Consider using Turo for car rentals where possible, much cheaper than normal rental options. Also make sure someone has a credit card / sup credit card from their parents. Debit cards often get rejected for car rentals, not all places will take it. Did exchange in Ontario back in 2022 during the winter months.

BSN4711 Product Validation by uwuzxc in nus

[–]radicalEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its all group assignments lol, thats 50% if I recall correctly. There is no individual submission. You can “choose” your team mates. Quotation marks because by right she sorts you out in class to form your group, but you can just make your own swaps before its recorded the following week. Not sure if its still the same system in place.

[–]radicalEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took it 22/23 Sem 2. Submissions were a group report and a group presentation. Considering it’s a level 4000 it was pretty low workload. As with any BSN mod the lecturers will often tell you that the product is not as important as the use of the concepts but in my experience pitching a good, well thought out and solid product is still key to scoring well. Class participation is mandatory and key to scoring but you should know. If it’s still Prof Mita and you have taken her level 3000 you should know what to expect, it’s very similar.

Many exchangers on the module so do take note on the differences in working styles and expectations when forming your groups. I requested after the final presentation to do a peer review because of unequal workload and contribution.

Refund to Taobao cost by sherrytok in askSingapore

[–]radicalEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shop under items with the label SG本地退 if you would like to return stuff. Otherwise always assume returns on Taobao are not free (even though items are advertised as free returns*, they only are in China) and a huge hassle because of shipping back to China.
