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.Bloomaul wrote:Why would this be? It is a junior position in a strategic department.
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^^

Average salaries in Singapore
Re: Average salaries in Singapore
Re: Average salaries in Singapore
I could answer the question with yes
Even if the chances aren't that high, what would the average salary be?

Re: Average salaries in Singapore
It's a SWAG... and... most fresh university graduates in Singapore will enter the workforce around S$3,000 to $3,500 per month.Bloomaul wrote:I could answer the question with yesEven if the chances aren't that high, what would the average salary be?
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.

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...

Re: Average salaries in Singapore
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.

Re: Average salaries in Singapore
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.

You have quite a good skillset and expertise for the salary range you are asking for, so I guess your chances are good.Ksenon2611 wrote:Hello everyone!

Re: Average salaries in Singapore
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 ?
