A friend of mine has been searching for a job for some time now in Singapore. Ideally, he would like to go work for an MNC in a finance role, or for a medium large size accountancy.
He has just been offered a role with a small local Accountancy firm. The salary is low and the benefits are a little limited. However, they will get him a working visa which will allow him to stay. It means he will not have to leave the country every month or so.
Is it fair, and practical to accept the role with the local firm and the working visa, whilst continuing to search for a bigger role ?
Would it affect future working Visas applications if he takes this role and jumps on in a few months time ?
or would it just be better to wait for a more suitable job to come along.
I know the economy is not good these days. What would you do in this situation ?
