it may take 3 months 3 months is a long time... I heard some cases on Glassdoor are fast, almost 1 to 4 weeks including interview, will get the results. I also need to make decision depending on if the offer is going to be guaranteed. Can anyone give me some suggestion to ask HR to get some more ce...

it may take 3 months

No matter how it's sliced, it's fixed slots waiting to be filled. My experience through it has been that key holders are nigh untouchable, and high performing new comers will find the performance vs reward ratio unsatisfying whilst not terrible.

Hi calugaruvaxile, It is really comforting to know to learn the experience of someone in the same shoes. I was unsure if it will be unrealistic if more housing allowance and kids education support is sought. I will ask to revise their offer and see if they can take the realities into account. you c...

dude, i've been in your shoes 8 years ago. i was married but no kids. i got SGD1200 housing allowance (usually it was 900). if you have kids they will pay the school (partially). not the kikigarten, the private school. but ... there is a catch ... 5 years max on scientist 2!! and if you make the err...

Leaving aside the half-truths your message is full of, what is really striking is how deeply you are impregnated with the communistic mentality. Unconditional wealth distribution regardless effort and work quality (except for the top party members, here the equity ends). With your alleged or sugges...

When this gets built... and it's a question of when, not if... there will definitely be plenty of bargain properties in Singapore. http://www.wallstreetdaily.com/2016/01/27/thailand-kra-canal-china-silk-road/ maybe my children will see the kra canal built, as i don't think i'll live long enough (i'...

There are no quotas on EU citizen migration within the EU. Freedom of movement is a foundational right within the EU, and it will not be changing. If the U.K. wants quotas on EU citizens then it'll have to vote to leave the EU (and not join the EEA). In that event, if the U.K. institutes quotas, th...

People would still like to have the national and cultural identity and not be forced to do something they are deeply against, like accepting thousands of economical refugees just because Merkel alone invited them in. i'm not sure the cultural identity is what pisses people off, but the money (or la...

I think if you're not born into the wider Franco-German block you're always going to be treated like an outsider within the EU. The insiders club is a very small one; the rest are just fare-paying passengers receiving orders. err ... i think you should limit to the german-french aristocracy, don't ...

The United States has never had a female president, a president who is the spouse of a former president, or a president who has never previously had a government post. So either a Clinton or Trump win would be historic. However, it's always possible to identify something unique about the next presi...

...and the supposed 'world's beacon of democracy' the USA. Where having a relative who has previously been President seems to pre-entitle you to run yourself? The sense of pre-entitled politically anointed dynasties. Even Michelle Obama had to outright deny a month or two back that she herself migh...

... from what you wrote, it seems like eu is nowadays dictating uk who should win the elections :cool: in those days of now-forgotten sovereignty, this would be called "inference in uk's internal affairs" and it would have been a diplomatic incident. i certainly hope this time uk manages to repeat ...

yeah, the press is full of very competent people forecasting UK's doom in case of brexit. the same competent people who predicted wealth and heaven for the citizens of eurozone, back in 2000. the same who made very good predictions, six month ago, on the oil price (they predicted anything from $10 t...

I'm laughing reading some of the posts here, which leads me to the next big question. how many EU members does it take to fit a light bulb? if your question was about the members of the EU commission, i would say A HELL OF A LOT - first, they would need to assess the feasibility - then, they would ...
