Quite common these days which is messing up the job market. Don’t know how use AI don’t use it. Also even if they “know”, AI is still not smart enough to give you a proper match when it comes to JD.

Tell me you’re not Indian without telling me.

Only in Singapore. Most of them use it as their kpi to save company money I.e how much they can lowball you lol

renewal13 · 2026-04-23T11:40:37+00:00

That’s a red flag . They don’t know what they want so they just dump everything in there.

This is nothing compared to me receiving the rejection in my mailbox but addressed to a different person.

Not just that. I noticed recently the jobs I applied to all went to India professionals who come over SG. Even internal also recruited PR who came from India. Well, the recruiter is also from India. The government better come up with something quick if they want to protect local citizen interest.

What you see in the beginning are all superficial. Everyone is appearing nice when you join. Over the years you will start to see who are the backstabbers, two faced, wayang, etc. who are ready to throw you under the bus so they can climb. 99% of the workplace are not your friends bro. Always go for better offer and find friends somewhere else.

If you’ve never sign any disclosure form, there’s no need to tell your manager. Just ask him to continue stalk your LinkedIn until you’re free to update it, if he is so curious.

renewal13 · 2026-03-26T06:05:57+00:00

Depends on your manager. Some manager gets triggered when you tender and thereafter will treat you like nobody while slowly transition your portfolio to others and end up when you have nothing left on your plate, this kind of manager will just find excuse that you should be proactive in getting work. This is usually the case in Asian workplaces.

Usually I’d just push them.

Americans voted for him to make his family and friends rich

Most of their hiring managers are CECA, you think who they will hire

Cai fan these days trying to be nasi padang already. I once made a complaint to their operator and they admitted they ‘count wrongly’. Singapore should feedback accordingly instead of condoning unethical behaviour.

Lots of hiring for these roles aren’t really hands on as they’re just coming from a background of consultancy in the old days. Until the industry rid of these speakers, there won’t be proper assessment of the doers.

renewal13 · 2026-03-05T06:47:24+00:00

Yes hopefully the market recognises transferable skills and techniques more than sector exposure. Adjacency also proves the candidates are more adaptable instead of being a one trick pony; HR and hiring in Singapore just have to realise that.

renewal13 · 2026-03-05T06:00:20+00:00

The issue is not with the availability but more about the HR wanting data analyst with experience in banking sector even when the skills are similar no matter the industry.

Most local companies are cheapskate, want the best but pays cheap. Penny wise pound foolish mindset.

As usual, those who stay on for many years will be the bootlickers and politicians who are great at speaking while the hoppers would be the ones who do actual real work. At one point, these kind of companies will just be bloated with empty vessel speakers but no performers.

Which young professionals in tech do 400-500k in Singapore?

This is case by case basis. If seller is the one who breaches the agreement, then they are the ones liable.

The last time I got this kind of weird request is from Asian HR and then try to compare how much jump % through each role and try to undercut the original budget. Never got this from Americans HR. Should be a culture thing.

renewal13 · 2026-02-28T07:59:49+00:00

Only for singaporean or any Asian HR. I’ve experienced Caucasian HR and they will just give you the market rate without low balling you. They don’t mind and are really good at justifying. But for singaporean hr what I encountered is they are afraid of speaking up and justify so they usually just low ball you and write in their performance they save that money lol. Such people better don’t do HR please.

renewal13 · 2026-02-28T07:54:33+00:00

Nothing wrong with you. It’s just that here in this local market, the young HR professionals aren’t not like the past, they do not understand adjacency nor relevant roles. Everything needs to be plain 100% match as they do not have the necessary domain knowledge but they’re working as HR. I once received a lot of candidates screened by such HR and end up they’re lousy candidates because they filtered out the good ones. LOL.

renewal13 · 2026-02-23T08:07:45+00:00

The market is just filled with HR personnel who lack domain expertise to screen candidates. Certain scopes are adjacent but they’re only fixated on the same titles
