SAT says: "Based on the information you have provided, the individual is likely to qualify for both Employment Pass (EP) and S Pass". Just as an indication^^
Ask yourself this question: is this position and my skillset so unique that no Singaporean could do the job? This is how MOM will look at you.

I could answer the question with yes :D Even if the chances aren't that high, what would the average salary be?

It's a SWAG... and... most fresh university graduates in Singapore will enter the workforce around S$3,000 to $3,500 per month.

This is what you would get, if you are lucky... and from a realistic perspective, I don't see you being lucky enough to get hired.

a) There is a strong push to hire locals over foreigners. Well and truly, unless you have special training, you won't stand out.

b) What do you know about "strategic sales" in Asia? What languages do you speak? What connections do you have in the local community or PRC? Or Malaysia, for that matter.

Thanks for your reply.
Has the policy of the MoM changed in the last 1-2 years? Because on linkedin I see several foreign graduates (some only with bachelor degree) in this particular company.

Any idea what the average salary of an internship is? Because 2k for an intern and 3,5k for a FTE sounds less...

If the company in question is a well known multi-national, and if they hire a significant portion of Singaporean locals, and if they have Singaporeans in management level positions, then MoM will probably cut them some leeway in granting of EP's that they request. This is because they employ a lot of locals as a major employer and MoM doesn't want to piss them off.

Be aware though, that this applies to people already working for the company who are being transferred into Singapore. Regardless of the experience level of the people, the MNC will justify them on the basis that they have specific corporate knowledge that they need to have in Singapore. So, you would not get hired cold in Singapore, you already need to be working for the company and be transferred.

My salary numbers are pretty accurate for many, many disciplines, slightly low for engineering, slightly to very high for things like interior design degrees.

AWS is normally 1 month if written into your contract. Otherwise it could be zero. Or three months or 6 months, depending on your contract and if it's a variable bonus based on the performance of the company and a generous employer. So, count on one month and please don't spam the board with duplicate threads. The other one has been deleted.

Hello everyone!
I'm a currently Credit Risk Analyst (from Moscow,Russia) with almost 2 years experience, earlier I worked in insurance company nearly 15 months as a Reporting analyst/Actuary.
I have advanced knowledge in statistics,databases, such tools as SAS EG,SAS Miner,SAS VA, Excel(+writing macros in VBA), Oracle, SQL,PL\SQL, Emblem(tool for making regression models for insurance rates) .

ANSWER: Can I have any chances to find job in Singapore on position "credit risk analyst" or "reporting analyst" with 5000 - 6000 s$ salary ???

I'll be glad to hear any answers from expats with similar background or people, who knows this field.

P.S. I tried to check my average salary by Payscale.com, but it didn't get me any report cause hasn't enough statistics for specialist of my profile..

You have quite a good skillset and expertise for the salary range you are asking for, so I guess your chances are good.

I have 9+ years of experience in Oracle CRM (IT) and have been offered 7800 SGD per month. I am relocating with my wife. The salary is sufficient to survive in Singapore and have some saving at the end ?
