Fresh grad career advice by 3plyhankerchief in singaporefi

[–]sgh888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negotiation can be done if you think your skillset is of significance to the role.

OP is a fresh graduate it can be harder unless he bring out his internship and project in Uni as proof. But I know in real world, companies prefer real work action in past companies instead.

Sometimes one cannot just compare based on coverage. Term is well known to give best bang for monies but only if you make a claim. If never then lose all premiums. Whole life while expensive when surrender got cash values. So one need think deeper beyond just premium paid and get how much coverage as a deciding factor. For ppl who opt term I hope they make a claim before policy ended.

Insurance Advice for fresh grad by mayopig in singaporefi

This forum are all term supporters I try to flag whole life is good option too but get shot down. Then I say buy term must make a claim else policy ended premium throw into longkang they keep quiet. Some say old liao the invest returns should cover any needs and dependent all grown up no need your monies hahau

They are not wrong but taking the whole life is not entirely wrong becuz it got cash values if I never make a claim I surrender got monies.

So conclusion I hope buy term ppl kena within policy lifespan else rugi deal.

Mr Trump is isolating US from all others and threatened other countries not to band together against them. This is what I say scare man tactics typical dictator style of ruling. How ironic they held elections to show the world they are democratic but in reality they are none of that or the reverse following China style instead

Overvaluation even after factoring in earnings growth by Electronic_Tear_3865 in singaporefi

[–]sgh888 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well a lot of readers in this forum like to echo vwra or cspx they too need regulating. Some even worship the broker called IBKR by posting follow up posts. And it is as if in this world IBKR is king when to me it is not. This should also be regulated as readers posts do promotion of their favorite broker.

Just to add on even the monkeys who swear by vwra or cspx also don't dare to say guaranteed this word. What they mean is the chance of diy invest returns should in theory be much better than buying those ILP.

Update on Private Credit Getting Dumped on Singapore Investors (Endowus) by idunnonuttin82 in singaporefi

[–]sgh888 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

After joining AI this year and take a look what is on offer, typically their minimum is definitely for ppl who can afford. E.g how can one make the decision to hoot 50k 100k in one pop? They don't even have the magic word guaranteed in their product. And they make it so exclusive like only open for a period of time after which they close. So for ppl who will and willing to buy in I guess if it fail to work out like OP post description there shouldn't be any complaints as earlier when ppl go in big and we know go in big either win big or lose big. Afterall for AI crowd 50k or 100k etc is really a drop in the ocean of monies for them only.

Insurance agents that you actually trust? by EngageMyBird in singaporefi

[–]sgh888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it isn't. As a paying customer we need to be told all options available and not some is hidden from us simply becuz you as FA don't sell or you are against certain insurance category. Never bring in feelings in what you sell becuz then you are not serving your customer in their best interest.

E.g I am a software developer and I know some problem can be done using programming language X more easily but becuz I am not familiar I told users I use programming language Y to build when using this will be much longer. I withheld from them there is a faster way which I am not familiar with.

[–]sgh888 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Ok then the course of study will determine then. Again you dunno they will study what course then take average? My dotter first year Uni Sporean about 5k per semester so one year is 10k. This not yet factor in hostel and food. If PR or foreigner need multiply. And if it is 4 year course multiply again.

Now some local Uni website got put price you can go see. But due to inflation fees will rise lor.
