Moving to Singapore after 30

weehournow — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 09:45:15 +0800

I am currently 30 years old with 5+ years of working experience in the legal industry. For my current job I am drawing a salary of RM4600+. I work in Johor btw. I feel that I am somehow stuck due to my slow career progression so I have been thinking about moving to Singapore.

I found a potential job which offers SGD3.5k at most, which means most likely they will only be paying 3.2k (optimistic?). I know for a fact that if I move to KL I could land a job that would pay me MYR5k+. So the dilemma is should I go to SG for smaller pay (disregard the conversion) and start afresh or to KL?

Appreciate any constructive view. Thanks.

Edited:

Since some of you replied asking for more details before giving advice, i thought I should supplement more info:

1. Single. No plan to start a family. In fact no plan to get into a relationship. Can foresee myself single till the day I die.

2. My previous jobs include lawyer and legal editor. Now working as a legal exec (in house).

MCO 3.0: Manufacturing got insist 30% wfh?

Very confused. I read online saying private sectors all wfh with 30% management staff in office only. Then also got news say "kilang operasi seperti biasa". So what now? Factory/Manufacturing needs to comply 30% or not?

Damn sian la. Work in factory no 30%. Everyday waste commute time and dressing up for work time.

LLM in Singapore while part time Paralegal

weehournow — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 11:11:29 +0800

I graduated from my LL.B in 2016 and now I'm considering to further study for LL.M in Singapore with the end goal of working there as an in house.

I have been working in 2 small firms for the past 2 years and I understand it is almost impossible to land an in house job in Singapore with my current experience and a UKM LL.B qualification. So I'm actually thinking of working as a paralegal while doing a part time LL.M in Singapore.

My questions are:
1. Anyone who shares the same thought as me and your opinion on this (eg: feasibility, future prospect, etc)?
2. Anyone had done it before?
3. If feasible, SMU or NUS LLM?
4. Any scholarships recommendation?

Please no troll.

Being an absolute cheapskate I am trying to buy a cheap frame online and then get the lenses replaced in any shops in Klang Valley. Currently eyeing on the Transition lenses which helps in filtering out UV and blue lights.

Anyone has any recommended shop which offers lens replacement with reasonable price in Klang valley? Thanks.
