Gender: Male
Age: 28
Relationship status: Single
Religious affiliation: Agnostic with humanist values, in other words "none" on the application form
Nationality: Chinese
Ethnicity:Chinese
Education: Bachelor's in Economics from US university, cum laude with merit scholarship all 4 years
Income: ~120k (105k base)
Profession: digital product manager (experience & interface design, innovation, app development & delivery management)
Employer: US bank
Years of experience: 4 years & 1 month
Time in SG: 2 years & 11 months
Other info:
1. I started working in the US then moved to SG with the same company on S pass. After 1 year changed to my current job on EP with a 100% base salary increase - would this be considered a plus in my application?
2. I've lived in 5 countries in the past 10 years (high school, university, long-term exchange programs all in different places), had the bad case of travel bug. This is reflected in my long list of residential addresses on the application - is this considered a negative?
3. After reading some posts, it seems my work history might backfire? I was in management consulting and now in banking
Appreciate your input!

Can anyone help assess my prospect of obtaining PR.
Background:
I applied in March 2020 and result has been pending.
I have gotten a response from ICA 3 days ago (Nov 20) asking my whereabouts and when I plan to return to SG, as I have been WFH at parents' place in Hong Kong since July 20. Would you think it is a good sign since it has not been an outright rejection or am I overthinking? I have replied that I will return when SG-HK Travel Bubble arrangement is fully established by end Nov.
I had applied before 2 years ago when I was on S pass but was declined after 8 months in 2018.
Gender: Male
Age:28
Race: Chinese
Marital status: Single

Job title = Account Manager
Industry: Advertising Agency
Salary = 63K per annum
Education = bachelor's degree in Business from ireland (not recognised by MOM)
Pass = E pass
Tax filed and paid = 3 years
Thank you!

Chance may be 20-30% as manager roles are mostly filled up by residents.Iehklad wrote: ↑Mon, 09 Nov 2020 3:29 pmThank you!

As you mentioned, you’re having 3 nationalities/ passports. The message from the G, especially recently has been clear - PR is the stepping stone to citizenship. (you may search the forum, I think The Observer shared some articles on that). I’m not sure if you will be viewed as a PR collector with no intention of giving all 3 nationalities and hence making it even tougher.Iehklad wrote:Thank you!

Advertising is not an in demand field in Singapore - it's mainly interested in tech (IT, BioTech etc).Iehklad wrote: ↑Mon, 09 Nov 2020 3:29 pmThank you!

By the way, why does MOM not recognise your degree ?
Hi lehklad,Iehklad wrote: ↑Mon, 09 Nov 2020 4:47 pmHi observer,
Thank you for your feedback. I do plan to sink roots in Singapore as it is now my home, I hope the fact that I hold 3 passports should not be an impediment to how committed I am to staying here, people who hold 1 citizenship can also potentially pack up and leave regardless of the number of passports they hold. I equate that metaphorically to the number of suitors one has, if you love her, you love her and she's the one and only one.
Thanks mate. Appreciate it!the observer wrote: ↑Mon, 09 Nov 2020 5:25 pmHi lehklad,Iehklad wrote: ↑Mon, 09 Nov 2020 4:47 pmHi observer,

I am not part of the gahmen, and I think you are judged based on empirical evidence, actions or steps you’ve taken. Not pledges.
Good luck.
