Bank VPs can also be software engineer. VP in a bank in IT is someone with around 12 years plus experience. 15k is like the lower end, without benefits. I am 15 years experience, just that I don't have any ambition to grow up the ladder. I am content with doing my job and scoot off at 6pm. But, I guess MoM wouldn't like people like me.lagimoana wrote:Do bank VPs really only make 15k a month? Is that the base, with benefits on top of that? With International School fees around $6-8k a month for two kids, there wouldn't be much leftover...after rent etc. My husband is a software engineer at a bank and earns close to that, and we're homeschooling.
For what you said above, you would be in much worse situation working at the bank, and earning much more than now - unless you were untouchable with guaranty to stay at your position till the retirement. Earning more, with the ambition to focus only on the technical stuff is a trap so you made one day a very good decision.Wd40 wrote:Bank VPs can also be software engineer.

Not likely, not possible, so be prepared for no more extensions.kurtrules1 wrote: a) In case the EP is rejected, will she get a fresh SVP of a month's validity from the date of rejection?
Send her home early then, unless you like to tempt fate !! Serious advice.kurtrules1 wrote: b) Or, if the EP is rejected, will she have to leave the country when the current visit pass' validity expires? This is tricky, because in the worst case scenario. if they reject the EP renewal appeal on the last date of the visit pass' validity, that leaves her a few hours to leave the country or be persecuted for overstaying which we definitely do not want.
Why didn't you apply fro DP ?kurtrules1 wrote: The other question I have is - Can I apply for her DP? I am left confused because technically her EP is valid for another month, and on the other hand, she has a visit pass for the month's duration.![]()
PS, the appeal getting you a extension was NOT the norm. I know that from a lot of personal experience.kurtrules1 wrote:An update here. Might be useful to others who end up in a similar situation. My wife has an EP extension and a SVP, BOTH sent as a part of a single EP extension letter.
1) The MOM does issue an extension to the EP IF the EP gets rejected and the appeal is pending but the date of expiry has passed. One reason behind this confusion was - the employer was dumb enough to wait the bare minimum of 3 weeks for applying for a renewal whereas he/she could have done that 6 months prior to the expiry date on the card. This extension and its duration is on a case to case basis.
2) Upon the result of the appeal IF a) the appeal is approved then, well, good! BUT b) if it is rejected, then the MOM WILL issue a fresh SVP to the applicant valid for another 30 days to sort out his/her issues and either leave the country or become a dependent to stay further.
This is the norm, but there might be variances. It is not a mandate.
I talked to my HR and she talked to a representative in MOM & got this info.
I don't think rejection affects the extension date. The extension date should stay as it is.kurtrules1 wrote:I am posting the last update. It's been a roller coaster ride for us the past month.
My wife's EP rejection appeal was rejected yesterday. But she has the extension letter which has a validity till 9th i.e. next week Friday. Does the rejection affect that? Can she still work till the 7th?
Moreover, the employer stated that the MOM will grant another SVP after he cancels the EP. He will cancel the EP on the 7th.
Employer is NOT MOM. It is "may" Grant... Unless rules changed recently, getting a SVP extension after pass Cancellation / appeal failure May be hard. Except if they take into consideration the spouse' status.kurtrules1 wrote: Moreover, the employer stated that the MOM will grant another SVP after he cancels the EP.
