Couple of things.
What is your degree major?
Without any working experience, you are not likely to get an S pass regardless of the salary quantum. The salary only means you are qualified to "apply" for the visa, not that one will be approved. Same with the degree. It only qualifies you to apply for the S pass, but is not a guarantee of approval. Without experience it's not likely that you will be approved as there are literally '000's of locals with degrees without experience looking for jobs as well. Therefore, you employer is going to be hard pressed to explain to MOM 'why' they need to hire a foreigner. Sorry to be so negative, but surely, in the 4 years you have been here you have been reading the newspapers and watching the telly on the tightening up of criteria for S passes and the lower rungs of the EP pass.
I have a Burmese who has been with me for almost 3 years and he will be leaving at the end of this month as his S pass wasn't renewed. Reason? No longer qualifies under the new criteria. He has a degree, salary levels okay AND 3 years experience now. No dice. I've had others who will have to leave early next year as on their last renewals, they were only given 12 months and the renewal stated that it while is was being renewed for 12 months, as they no longer qualified under their stricter criteria, they would not be renewed the next time. It's getting rough out there.
