Thanks. Is there a decent chance this time around? I do realise the race quota works against us

If I ever worked in ICA and saw someone submit just one month’s payslip when the requirements clearly states “6 months payslip”, I would assume they are unable to understand simple instructions.
The question wasn't about the payslip though, was it? It was about the letter that need to contain the 6 months salary breakdown.
And since there's technically no restrictions on how soon you can apply, I thought I'd ask in the forum.
I'm aware there's another requirement for the payslip, which only states "Payslips for the last 6 months;" which could mean someone could supply 6 months payslips from different emoloyer.

^ You could but it raises questions on why you are so eager/impatient/desperate to apply for PR one month into working with your new company instead of waiting for 6 months in the same company just like everyone else.
It’s also a matter of convenience & lesser paperwork. By waiting 6 months in company B you just submit one letter of employment and 6 months company B payslips.
If you mix and match, you’re gonna have to submit previous company A’s letter of employment/resignation, previous company A’s X months of payslips, current company B’s letter of employment and current company B’s X months of payslips. It is just unnecessarily complicated.
ICA processes a lot of PR applications, it makes processing easier for them and yourself.

Once I start in the new company, ideally I want to immediately apply for PR, but one of the required documents is this:
A9 Current Employer’s letter stating the date of employment, position held, salary per month for the past 6 months with breakdown into basic, overtime and allowance per month
Do I need to wait until my 6th Month in the new company?
Regardless of the probability, can I technically apply under that condition?
Which words are you having difficulties with in the blue statement? A9 Starts with "
Current Employer's" and goes on to tell you what should accompany that letter in the same sentence. It did not specify any other employer or multiple employers, so that would mean you have been with your current employer 6 full months at least. There is no 'technically' involved here.

My cynicism, to a large extent also comes from years of experience as a system designer. We always have to spend time idiot proofing the system.

How long are you working in SG? Better to apply atleast after 2 years of work.
If not, chance will be low

Kind of discouraging to see everyone else is posting such a high salary >$100K while my field (biology, production,lab) doesn't even pay that high at all ($40k-$50) on average :'(
Only managerial/executive position gets higher but these positions are usually held by people with Business educations/MBA.
What do you think of my chance?
Job: Biotechnologist/Production technician in Big Pharma
Education: Bachelor in Biomedical Sciences & Diploma in Biotechnology
Length of stay since 2014
Studied in local polytechnic 2011-2014, work near 3 years under Work permit, studied in private university, and now nearly 3 years work under Employment Pass.

You didn’t post marital status, age, nationality and race which are key criteria too.
High pay does not mean auto PR at all. ICA looks at those who have integrated into SG and willing to sink roots here.
I’m a citizen in the same industry as you and successfully sponsored PR for my foreigner husband. My pay isn’t 100K either. Of course, all applications are on a case by case basis.
