Submitting My Resume To ST Aerospace...
 
Does anyone know about working in ST Aerospace? Is it good? I'm intending to submit my resume to ST Aerospace.

Does ST Aero allow their employees to have moonlighting/part-time job outside?

I would appreciate if there are replies.

Thank you very much!

What do you wanna moonlight as? Night security guard or 7-eleven cashier? Giving tuition should be fine, but if you are employed by contract or worse have CPF contributions by another company, you will be violating the contract with STA. Well, as someone said above, just don't get caught.

Nope... Be thankful your distance learning degree can still get job offer.. Somemore your discipline is not popular in Singapore... Suggest you further your education by taking a masters degree in a more useful discipline example: acountancy, finance or an MBA..

ricardo Are you currently still in the 2 yrs training? how sure u know after 2 years you will be posted to ibd as analyst?

ricardo 11-09-2011 05:56 PM

Well, just got my bonus this year. In case you got the impression it is in rupiah, nope, its after conversion from USD to SGD.

The route is not easy, luck plays a big part as well, not just interview skills, academic credentials (good degree in any fields can apply, I have team mates with Bachelor of Science from Stanford)

Applicants for such programs usually numbers in hundreds if not thousands (globally). For my batch in 2006, there are only 25 vacancies. After 2 years, everyone will be posted to different depts, depending on performance during the 2 years. Among the 25, 4 of us got into investment banking.

That's glamour part, for the unglam part, we worked crazy hours until midnight everyday (sometimes have to come to office on Saturdays as well), you got to have the passion for it otherwise you can't last.

I'm in IT industry.
My starting salary was 38.5k p.a 3.5 years back. Now it's 125k p.a
It's quite okay for now not as high as banking fellas..

Unregistered 11-09-2011 09:56 PM

God I hate my life and low salary.

Why couldn't I just be one of you awesome IBs or lawyers in big 4, or consultant at Bain or Accenture. I can only imagine, my whole perspective on life would be different. It's almost as if money suddenly isn't an issue and I can move on to Money with capital M. Probably won't have to chat about aiming for good life, and can immediately talk about "Oh, where shall I invest my 30K that I can easily save after the first year of my work-life, assuming a mediocre bonus?"

GODDDDDDDDDDD

Wow, To jump from 38.5k -->125k p.a in 3 years, its about 300% increment approx.

From my experience in IT industry, when one jump coy, the next coy will usually look at your current salary and offer you an increment based on that, around 20% would be above average. Even for promotion within coy, the increase would be 10-15% at best.

For your figure to be credible (300% increment in short span of 3.5 years), you must have achieved something spectacular.

Did you:
. work as an intern 3.5 years back and after graduating with honors from Oxford university 3.5 years later, switched coy and joined Google ?
. jumped from software developer to senior manager or director (you must have implemented someting similar to facebook to have that big jump) ?
. jumped from a small coy with 38.5k to a big coy (at a rather senior position) to get the 300% increase?
. management trainee at 38.5 k for 3.5 yrs and graduate after 3.5 years after the program to be commanding 125k? (i m rather curious which IT coy has such program, as far as i understand, not even Accenture has such program with big switch in pay in 3.5 years either)

If you think back, 3.5 years earlier, it doesn't make sense either for you to be commanding 38.5 k 3.5 years back if you could command 125k today if its not either of the above scenarios.

Smoky and fishy eh ?

Wow! i thought I'm the worst. You beat me to it. No offense.

I hope you're doing better now.

Based from your user name, "yk89", i can assume that you're 22 years old this year. Correct me if i'm wrong.

You're still young. i suggest take another degree or master degree that's relevant in Singapore context (i.e. accounting or finance).

Your future is in your hand. You might heard countless of advices. They can show you the door but ultimately, you're walking through the door.

If all else fails, try joining Social Services (they need people) since you're holding a Psychology degree.

I wish you All the Best and Good Luck!

When the money is good and the work is somewhat challenging (not dull like wrapping cheese), any Tom or Harry will have the PASSION for it.

I can't believe people still talk about passion these days.

But you were right on one thing - LUCK plays a BIG part.

If you are working more than 12 hours a day EVERYDAY and you don't like what you are doing, it's like u are being paid for bad sex. Initially u might be motivated by the money aspect, thrilled for the first 6 months, subsequently, u start to feel that hey I am earning scores of money, easily thrashing everyone everywhere, but I don't enjoy reading financial reports, I don't enjoy analyzing equities market or finance data and I have to face the damn chick for most of my life, isn't that sick?

Eventually, u will start to hate your life and might end up castrating yourself.

Money is good but it can only be a hygiene factor. It can never be a motivational factor.

Luck and miracle won't help if you even have the credentials in the first place e.g. Degree without good honors won't even get u past the resume screening process. Even if your big luck grant you your first round interview, if you cannot convince your panel of interviewers why they should hire you over other candidates from excellent backgrounds, you are still crapped either. Luck can only get you a certain distance, personality, credentials, abilities and mindset matter as well.

I'll add one more thing: your family connections matter too. If your dad is a semi-big customer of the bank, you can easily get a job with 200k salary.

Well, this, is also LUCK. Cheers!

salary negotiation
 
If you were a foreigner with 1 year sales experience, 2 years events management but doing those while studying. Now your status is newly graduate of Marketing Management, so you are still considered as a fresher. If an IT solution consulting firm were to offer you a job on sales and marketing which also includes the operation of the business how much will you suppose to say if you were asked how much is your expected salary as a fresher in Singapore?

Hope to have an answer with a nice explanation and hope to have an advice.

Thanks

Well Done Sir/Madam.

Personally, i think $2.8k for a fresh diploma graduate (No Exp) is excellent. Some or maybe most of fresh undergraduate is starting between $2.4k-$3k (i might be wrong).

When i was a fresh diploma graduate in 2007, my starting pay was $1.8 (not inclusive commission) in banking industry selling credit cards. It was very stressful, very hard work, with long working hours but my commission was freaking awesome.

Anyway, I assume you're in the petrochemical or shipping industry. Correct me if I'm wrong.

credit card selling for bank can make how much?

Mind breaking down the numbers? I have always been very curious.

They will try to put you under contract scheme though, which means for the next 1 to 2 years there will be NO PAY INCREMENT.

If you perform well for the next 1 to 2 years of your contract, your contract will be EXTENDED. Nope, they will not want to make you a permanent staff there 'cos they expect you to demand for pay increments.
