Just to delve into this a little bit further, my question would be are you in a "C" level position?
That aside, if you have done any research of our archives, you will note that we have noticed a penchant for people earning in excess of $300K/pa or "C" level or both tend to be bounced by their company to various and sundry posts around the world. That in of itself doesn't point to a good risk for "Permanent Residency" in the spirit in which it is meant. To add to that, There is also the lure of another company offering a sign on bonus of 25~50K and a decent increase of salary as well to lure you to jump companies which also might mean jumping ship to be parachuted into another country at the same time. While nobody can fault you for that, the penchant for this happening in the Financial district is well known and Singapore would much rather give the limited PRs to somebody who looks like them might stay for the long haul. Unfortunately, the Financial district has not shown that kind of thought pattern so ICA is hesitant to grant PR knowing full well the odds of them actually staying and taking up Citizenship is rather weak. They would rather have a middle of the roader with a potential for growth and also providing the country with the next generation.
As SF mentioned, you needed to wait for at least two years before you applied to PR the first time. I would almost bet the Consultancy is owned by one of your countrymen. They tend to cannibalize their own without compunction. For the record, they cannot put anything on the form that you don't give them. There is limited room on the form, and you cannot submit lots of garbage that used be to submitted back in the optional manual submission days. They saw too much BS so now it only the facts. As far as the submission application, it was designed to be filled out by an N level holder (which means any B.Sc or BA should be able to do it in their sleep. When you use a consultant unless you are a shoe-in they tend to wonder why a high-flyer has to resort to a greasy consultant unless the applicant is trying to hide something. I also made the mistake of using a Consultant (Lawyer) when I first applied for PR way back in 1988. It took an appeal and another subsequent application before I got my PR in the mid 1990's.
Having said all that, we've also seen some pretty strange things happen, so at the end of the day, you buys your ticket and takes your chances.
Good Luck but do wait at least 3 more years because filing close together also makes it look like your are in a hurry. In the past those in a hurry were flipping properties. That has slowed somewhat do to the longer waiting periods. But like I've said on here many times, ICA has just about seen it all.
