I think I got lucky with work this time. It’s only been 3 months since I joined, but my seniors have been so open in sharing what they know. Even when their schedules are packed, they still make effort to guide me, or let me sit in and observe how they handle things. Honestly, I’ve picked up A LOT just by listening to their experiences and watching how they work. Unlike my old workplace, here mentorship feels more natural, engaging and personal. Sharing my story so others take note as well.

Hi everyone, I've been feeling a bit lost about my career path lately. I've been working at my current company for 5 years, but I'm now considering switching to a new job, ideally as a Product Executive or Logistics Executive, because I want to shift my career direction, and I think both roles could suit me well. I'm wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience, such as moving from a retail job to an office-based role? I'd love to hear any advice or insights you might have. Thanks!

I’ve been working as an accountant for about 5 years now, mostly handling routine tasks and monthly reports. I’ve been wondering if my experience is enough to get into one of the Big 4 firms here in Singapore. From what I hear, they’re quite competitive and want candidates with strong technical skills and maybe even some specialized knowledge. For those who’ve made it, how challenging was it? What should I focus on to boost my chances? TQ!

Pls tell me if I'm making the biggest mistake of my life or if I'm on the right path. A fresh grad, 6 months jobless, finally got an offer. Salary SGD2.5k + 7days AL. The company is quite small, hence the salary but they promise that I'll surely learn a lot and gain good exposure from working there. My family says just take the offer & keep applying elsewhere for better opportunity. My GF says it's too little, not worth it, and that I should keep looking. I'm torn in between. Pls help.

Hello! Asking for opinion. I’m currently earning $7k/month atm, but IDK it doesn't feel enough. My rent, transport, daily meals, gym memberships, and weekend brunches already burn a hole in my wallet. And don’t even make me start on traveling because I can never save enough to go further than just SEA! Honestly, I don’t understand how people survive on less. Like $5k or below? I think I’d actually die for real! Is it just me, or is SG really is this expensive?! Or am I just bad at adulting? 🫤

Is it true that if we accept a lower-than-market pay as 1st salary, it's gonna be hard to ask for a higher one later when we move to another company? Will we be gaslighted for asking more, since we started low? I'm a fresh grad with an offer on my hand atm. Bcz my GPA is not that powerful, this offer came after almost 10 months of looking for jobs so I'm really grateful. But salary is only SGD 2.7k since it's a small company. I believe my concern above is valid. Can I negotiate or just say yes?

Just sharing my experience. For companies who don't have enough budget to hire someone PERMANENTLY, please don't advertise your job as so and then suddenly change it to contract-based without informing the candidate first. Luckily I haven't signed anything. I went through all the process from start to end thinking that I'll be working as permanent staff after 3 months probation but apparently there's a slight "mistake" in the advertisement and now it's a contract job. Wasted my time seriously!

Is it common to get ignored and excluded from team's meeting when you've already tendered your resignation? I didn't do this willingly but I was forced to submit it after a project failed and my boss put the blame entirely on me. I thought if I resigned, everybody will be happy and not treat me like a stranger. After all, I was thrown under the bus for them! All I'm asking is just a friendship that would last even after I don't work here anymore. Is it too much to ask? Why are they so mean??
