There is no need to make ugly accusations on how she slept her way up since she has no real achievement to speak of in the first place.

I agree with this.. but as a new poster on the subject, her lack of ethics i.e. honesty might mean that she is fully capable of doing shady things like sleeping around to get ahead.

Then again, we should also note that not everyone who sleeps around gets ahead.

just another SIM bs artist

Actually i do not really get the people in this thread.

She is not padding her CV. Her achievements are exactly what is written in her linked profile.

Simbians seem to think she is very sakki because got a few finance words in there and they are easily impressed.

Others seem to think she is abusing the LSE word, when any local uni biz grad just take one look and know it is a SIM profile, because it is really just an admin role.

I do agree that she is a looker. But suddenly claiming she sleeps her way up is totally uncalled for.

first time i heard of a girl who sleep her way up to do admin support in a small fund company. some ignorant forumers here really like to make mountain out of mole hill.

Honestly, quite a job hopper.

users in this thread are mostly elites, you know??! Ivy league grads or dudes bringing home $100k each month in their mid-late 20s...!!!!

they r high achievers irl !!

To put things in perspective, only about less than 30% of each batch of Singaporeans make it into local unis. Maybe 1% in Ivy League or good UK unis (Oxbridge and LSE).

Of the 30% in local unis, majority would graduate without Honours and therefore end up with jobs that earn them maybe high 2ks and Low 3ks salary. Even for those with Honours, most would be in non-top-finance (front office or at least get into management associate Programmes), non-law, non-medicine, non-dentistry jobs and thus earn Low 3ks.

Therefore only a very small minority of Singaporeans would make big bucks in life. Perhaps there is a disproportionate representation of big earners on this forum because big earners tend to compare more. Or it could be just a lot of bs on this forum.

Finally, for the 70% who are unable to make it into local unis, the vast majority end up in normal jobs earning mid-high 2ks starting. Some succeed in starting their own business or taking over their parents business and earn big bucks.

This is the practical reality of the singaporean society.

This is the quality of the typical posts we get on this forum. Very off-putting, to be honest.

Happy new year, nonetheless!

yup, spot on.
And making mid 2k to 3k in your 20s in singapore is perfectly fine. pretty good even.

everyone wants a better life. but having a roof over your heads, food on the table, running water, high speed internet, etc. already makes you better off than a sizable chunk of the world's population
