Looking for advice on salary negotiations! I’m currently in a senior role making SGD85k. I’m interviewing for a position with a salary range of $75k - $85k, but I’d like to negotiate for a higher salary and possibly a senior title, given my experience. Any tips on how to approach this? I know the company has already stated their range but i believe, they can wiggle some more + they can't possibly gonna pay the same salary as I'm currently earning. There should be at least 20% increment right?

38F, working as a Regional Manager. I’ve been struggling to work with colleagues from other countries... some don’t do their part properly, and every month I end up chasing deadlines. Communication is unclear, and I end up looking bad even though I’m trying my best to fix things. How do you deal with situations like this? I’m thinking of setting up weekly check-ins to align tasks and avoid any miscommunication or missed work.

Being a Regional Manager sounds great, but honestly, it’s tough working with colleagues from other countries who don’t do their part properly. I try to stay patient, but it’s frustrating when deadlines are missed and communication is unclear. Then I end up looking bad even though I’m doing my best to fix things. Is this normal when managing teams across different countries? Or am I expecting too much? How do you deal with this without getting stressed or ruining relationships?

Saw someone from my batch on LinkedIn already a Senior Manager. I’m genuinely happy for him, but really, the imposter syndrome is hitting hard. 😩 It’s like, I’m still figuring out how to reply to simple emails without second-guessing myself but my friends are already up there! I get that everyone’s journey is different, but sometimes it feels like I’m way behind. Anyone else struggling with this? How do you deal with that feeling when others seem to be moving up so much faster?

Reached VP a while ago, but lately, it feels like I've hit a plateau. The growth just isn’t coming like it used to. Anyone else been in this position? How did you push past this and make it to the C-suite? I’m looking for some fresh perspectives on breaking through when things feel stagnant.

After grinding it out in corporate for over a decade, I finally took the leap into an entrepreneurial role with flexible hours, and WOW it’s like I’ve got my life back! It was nice to be a boss, but even better to be THE boss 😋 I actually feel excited to work every day with renewed purpose and passion. I felt confident enough to make the switch as my financials are healthy and kids are grown. Anyone else waiting for the 'right' time to switch? What's stopping you?

imagine you in a high-paying role but feel like hit a learning ceiling. On the other hand, you got offer mid-paying job with great growth opportunities and a chance to learn more. Has anyone else been in this situation? How did you decide between staying for the money and taking a risk for long-term growth?

Recruiting top exec talent in Singapore has been a bit of a challenge lately. I’ve always relied on headhunters, but it feels like the market is more competitive than ever. With so many talented candidates out there, I’m wondering if there’s a better way to attract senior-level talent without relying solely on traditional headhunting. How do you find the right fit for these high-stakes roles? Any tips or alternatives that have worked for you? I’m really open to suggestions!

Mentored a junior employee for years, watched them grow, and now they just got promoted to VP. Super proud moment, but also made me pause and think… what’s next for me as their mentor? It’s one thing to guide someone when they’re still climbing the ranks, but now that they’ve stepped into leadership, the dynamic shifts. I want to keep supporting them, but without overstepping or making it seem like I’m trying to hold on too tightly. How do i keep mentoring when they've outranked me?

I just made the leap to CFO after years in finance. Exciting, but also overwhelming! The shift from managing numbers to leading strategy, dealing with investors, and driving business decisions feels like a whole new world. I’m curious to hear from others, what was the biggest lesson you learned in your first year as an executive? How did you balance financial oversight with leadership responsibilities? Any advice on building credibility, managing pressure, or avoiding common mistakes?
