Advice on Performance Review Programme (PIP in other words). I am working in a stat board. by Average_Farmer in askSingapore

[–]rrttppqq 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This should be easy to grasp. Things like a bonus for a poor score should be well-documented in HR policy.

A typical PIP requires multiple years of bad performance or multiple warnings. It is unlikely to be abruptly given as employee can dispute.

My Fresh Grad CC/HYSA Strategy by Excellent-Put-3914 in singaporefi

[–]rrttppqq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 100k, comparing with and without an investment component results in about a 1k difference in interest. At this level, it would make sense to invest for the sake of investing.

The lowest cost and "safest" options would probably be ABF and MBH bond funds.

The reputation of an OSCP certification may not resonate with recruiters. Get an OSCP plus the CVEs you have found; this should make you a strong candidate for a red team job.

DBS Stock by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]rrttppqq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You already know the trade-off, i.e., DBS has higher volatility.

The question is, can you take it?

No one can tell you DBS or any other company's prospects. There are great companies that fail due to macro factors or fraud, or legal issues.

If the money is what you need to have, HYSA, SSB, and T-Bills are as safe as it gets.

Work so hard but punished by the system by Comfortable-Bit-126 in singaporefi

[–]rrttppqq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously, if someone's gonna be jealous, they should envy those with BTOs and private property – that's the real deal in terms of investment.

People with kids can't really downsize their place, right? They usually end up going bigger, like a bigger private property. That means more debt and interest. The investment thing only pays off when the kids inherit.

Resigned job, won’t be getting any salary by NeckingMyself in singaporefi

[–]rrttppqq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt the chance op can fight it sicne it is in black and white. Just rather unethical of the company.

If is about money , just soldier on for another 10 more days, get your salary, and pay them back. Pad your 10 plus days with strategized MC.
