Hi everyone,

Is there anyone who lived far away from CBP and worked there?How is your experience?(Like do you take shuttle bus to reduce the travelling time, if you OT you will miss it etc)

I received a really good offer from a company there but i lived on the opposite end of Singapore(Jurong).

Currently having a really hard time deciding if i should accept the offer.

You will need to either:
-buy a car; or
-buy a house in Loyang, Tanah Merah or Simei.

You may opt to continue suffering the commute via public transport if you will get $10k/month more or something, cos you can then smile all the way to work and home with such a raise.

Very similar situation to the thread starter, for me its 5k fresh grad position. Living in Jurong east. Is it really worth the long commute time?
