As of now, im nearly out of job for nearly 4 months and time is running out against me to get a job. The longer you are out of job, the more difficult it is for you to look for one, especially at my age. Financially, i do not have any big tickets items to pay for now though.
But as what inferno have stated, my concern is on the new salary level and the new job will be based on this rather than what i earned previously.
singaporeans are too proud. learn to swallow your pride and accept a lower pay, especially when you're older and your chances of finding a job have decreased. better to be earning 65k than 0k. 4 months jobless is an eternity and waiting any longer will make it even harder in future. say you find a similar job 1 year from now, you may be able to negotiate for 80-90k which will put you closer to your previous job again.
