Top 100 jobs in Singapore (2007)

there's not much discussion goin on here now...?
i hope there will be no retrenchments for you good folks out there...anytime soon! The Daily news reports don't sound too promising.

as for me, Monday's the 1st day of work! although, my COO did bring me around a bit to see the colleagues on wednesday when i signed the employment letter. I discovered I will have my own office! wow.. thats gonna be a 1st for me. the other managers share the common space!

I was given about 10 books to help with my understanding of the company & products, which i happily am browsing through past few days...

I hope everything will be smooth. From experience, every job has its perks & flaws, just have to adapt & adjust thats all...

That's super cool. I want my own office also! :-)

Anyway, glad to hear about that NEW hope. Seems like things are going real well for you.

My best wishes.

with best wishes new hope . . .

Ron

Thanks. It was a good day at the office on my 1st day of work.

Ronaldo, you are a high earner and should not be bragful but use your wealth to benefit the needy. When you die (and you eventually will), who will care how much you earn when you were 27 years old? Also, I'd be very surprised if your firm continues to pay you such a high base if you don't pull in the business, especially when Singapore faces the full brunt of recession next year. Lets see whether you still get to keep your job by then.

S'pore will face recession and other investment/financial problems but only for 1 year. Retrenchment, down sizing,re-engineering, etc are no strangers for those well seasoned. Be frugal and prudent in spending or making investments. Think about Lehman, AIG, Enron, CAO, etc. Be patient and it'll soon pass over.

DL,

you are so sharp. you have been staring into the crystal ball?

by all means the pain just started now. 1 year to recover? you are an optimist.

hi everyone, I was wondering if you have stats on the salaries of people in hotel management or tourism, as well as their working hours. also, do I need any specific degrees?

thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

p.s. ronaldo, if you really must haolian your $12k pay, pls find someone who can put up with you and stop spamming this site.

adiemuso. I'm a former financial analyst and I stand by what I said. Ain't no crystal balling. Just hard financial figures. We should be recovering latest by end of 2010. Anyway our SWF, Temasek & GIC have not stated any losses yet. Airlines and logistics like transportation will be badly hit. And already happening, some airlines reduced loads like safety belt, etc. Air disasters coming up?

Gwen. Hospitality industry salary for management posts rarely can touch above $2.3k, unless you are in higher managerial post. Avg pay around $1.9k up to $2.3k is the norm. Working hrs maybe 5 days week for mgt staff. Others like front office, hsekeeping, etc may also have 5 days wk but off days may fall on weekdays or 1 wkday and 1 wkend.
