I'm claiming the word 'sexy' back Bon Bon - it is NOT for the exclusive use of the female community.

So no PM for anjin-san?

Vaucluse - didn't you up and leave this Forum at some point? Good to have you back though.

Oh thanks darling we go girls! This is the second time someone has referred to 'us' girls. Does anjin-san sound feminine? I AM A MAN! :x Evidence: - I leave the toilet seat up - I forget anniversaries - I think toilet humour is funny :P - I have only one thing on my mind - I'm tall, rich and handso...

Never be ashamed of being a 'banking geek'. Being is banking means you're sexy. Or so I try to convince myself.

Assuming they paid you the same wage as in Australia, you'd still save through (relatively): - cheaper food - cheaper public transport - cheaper rent (especially if you're from Sydney) - far, far lower tax rate Not too sure about the CPF issue. I know that neither you nor your employer make contribu...

If you are in the position I was in - i.e. not having been paid, but needing money (a fair amount at some places) to open a bank account; I'd recommend DBS. The lowest minimum deposit to open a savings account - $500.
Good luck!

Thank you all, once again! Feels good k1w1, it feels good!

Some excellent news on my part. Got my EP yesterday afternoon! I arrived in Singapore last night, and have begun the "great share-flat hunt". Will be starting work on the 23rd.

Thanks for all the help people. Hope to pop by an event one of these days and say 'howdy' in person.

Thanks heaps for the response, and the encouraging reply k1w1. This delay is far from an enjoyable experience! :x :roll: Yeah, my company has been very good about things...I'm lucky there! I *hope* to hear something by the end of this coming week. Will keep you posted. Thanks again k1w1. Hope the we...

Hi all, I'm a fresh graduate who's being sponsored for an EP by a major financial institution. My EP application was submitted in late November, and last week I was asked to submit copies of my degrees as proof of completion. However, the other applications submitted by the company AFTER my applicat...

From what I can gather, the CFA was meant to be a professional self-study course, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. People form study groups, or pay to attend CFA prepatory courses. Don't know if there are schools per se, but you will find plenty of places online offering help. Best of...

Personally, I think the CFA satisfies both aspects you mentioned. I know of one person who sat and passed CFA Part 1. He did it wholly through self-study. However, it may or may not be suitable for someone without a moderate accounting/finance background. I don't mean to sound discouraging, but if y...

You're right Boon. Many people do sit for it, but the pass rate on the other hand is low. This makes it a qualification you truly earn, more so when you consider the fact that bankers working 80+ hours a week have to find time to study as well.

Gracias

I was just wondering, are Arnott's Tim Tams available in Singapore?
