I do it every year and here's my reasoning. It's not either-or with investing, it's about the role in your portfolio. My CPF SA is my bond a…
Switched from banking ops to UX design at 34, now 38. Things I wish I knew: one, your savings runway matters more than your passion. I had 1…
I switched at 40 from supply chain into a BI analyst role via a CCP. Ya lah, the first year salary dropped maybe 15 percent and my ego also …
From my experience, the OA to SA transfer is powerful because SA earns 4 percent versus OA 2.5 percent, and compounded over 15 years that ga…
I interview candidates regularly, so here's what I actually think when I ask this. I'm not expecting a fairy tale, I know most people leave …
Regular JB-goer here. Driving is worth it ONLY if you plan to move around a lot in JB, malls, eateries spread out, maybe Desaru. Register yo…

Recruiter here, and I'm sorry because ghosting is inexcusable but common. What usually happens behind the scenes: a hiring freeze lands, hea…
