SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

It's either the country of entry, or where you will stay the longest. Also, most countries don't have visa facilities. Greece is helped by France, Norway by Denmark and so on. I would go with France any day. Just speak first few words in French (Bonjour/ Salut, comment allez vous will be a good star...

Without knowing much about you or your potential employer, that number seems to be low. The salary for Tier-1 MBA schools and/or Tier-1 financial firms tend to be minimum $135K+Bonuses for first year post-MBA associate. That equates to c. $11K + bonus on a per months basis. I don't know for Tier-2 s...

Sorry, have been away from forum.

I'll be there. I am going to PM my number to people in this thread.

PM me - my company is hiring and your experience in Sales and heading country experience sounds good to give it a shot.

It's threads like these that make my once a week visit to SGExpats forum a very pleasant experience indeed.

Keep it up guys, but seriously, LinkedIn? The head of LinkedIn APAC is an acquaintance, am not sure whether he'll lvoe or hate to hear this.

Hey Sergei,

Where in Smith St is that place for today's drinks? I cannot find it on Google maps, which mistakenly takes me to Newton area (yes, I'm advertising my company very well!)

Wow, it'll be just over a year from first post to the meetup. Gotta admire the tenacity

When I left the UK, didn't inform HMRC or any Govt dept. One can specify this in their year end filing, no need to add ano...

"And it would be better if you construct grammar correctly too. "

haha, I had stard with 'if', but changed it to 'when' in the hope that this was one off for the OP. But point taken Mr Grammar

I'm surprised there are arguments on this thread for someone making a small $400 good faith deposit and then changing their mind and now complaining.

Good faith deposit is called so for a reason.

Hi Everyone, Im moving out to Singapore in a couple of weeks for a year and half to work. Im really excited to get out there but have a few worries too. Is Singapore truly a freindly country? Ive heard so many good things about the fab people out there, I'm just wondering from other expats experien...

I agree with ZZM. IMO, the good faith deposit is hers to keep if you change your mind. If that were not the case, the agents/landlords will continue to show places right until the documents were sign - clearly not possible.

Didn't know that, but it is a sensible policy.

Hi SgSlinger, CdnAdventurers, SammyJay1980, Not sure if this could still reach you. Been busy on travels and work and finally holidays are over and back to Singapore~ Will be great to plan something in the evening or saturday brunch! Perhaps after the festive season will be good time. Tiong Bahru i...

Photos- or it didn't happen
