Market is tough right now, companies aren’t even biting for LTVP holders even though there’s no quota or levy. Husband has been applying non-stop and there are no replies. *shrug*
Also sucks that any kind of job support scheme is for PRs and citizens only too. It’s so hard for a SC-NR (non-resident) couple to sink roots in SG if the NR does not have PR. Why does it feel like so many companies aren’t aware that LTVP exists and that they can employ such holders without the red tape that happens when hiring foreigners?
I’ve had friends who are surprised why I didn’t uproot to the US to be with hubby… Well, I’ll be paid by the hour instead of a monthly salary, leave days might be single digits, maternity leave isn’t compulsory, and don’t get me started on healthcare.
