Help1 1st Gear October 26, 2010 Share October 26, 2010 IS= Information System or Information Security Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile 1st Gear October 26, 2010 Author Share October 26, 2010 Yes, i'm talking about information system. In short is IS/IT related job. Actually i'm pretty happy with my current workplace now. Benefits wise is way better than any of the companies out that can offer currently. I shall not mention the company but it's one of the top tier legal firm in singapore. I understand that offshore working hrs can be heretic at times. True? I'm very curious about the twice the bonus offer by them. If current company give me 4 months, are they going to give me 8 months?! Too good to be true. Anyway, thanks for all the replies. Will consider but my heart still stick with the current one.

Versatile 1st Gear October 26, 2010 Author Share October 26, 2010 A fact is most of the people working in offshore bank are FT, 90% of them. You will be the minority. Another fact is also, there are not that 'talent' as what they claim to be, which is the same with all other industrial, so practically, any company is the same now. Actually, that is my concern. I can't stand working with FTs. My current workplace don't even have a single FT. Well, at least for my department.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedlhw 5th Gear October 26, 2010 Share October 26, 2010 When i first joined the industry, I learnt a few things from one senior, "Bank everything also don't have, only got money" "Don't worry about cost, just worry about getting the business in" I think for IT related stuff it is well known that banks easily pay double the normal rate outside...

Ask for sign on bonus. Tell them you bonus now how much, ask them to pay for it. They will only pay after you confirmed though. Don't worry about additional 4 months, its nothing to them if they feel they need you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i think the working hours and the responsibility is much more higher. Cannot imagine myself working in wee hours. However, don't you ageed with me that most IS/IT department are cost centre to them? If encounter any financial crisis or turnmoil, IT/IS staffs will be the one to be ask to go?

Ender Hypersonic October 26, 2010 Share October 26, 2010 (edited) There this mysterious building, address at 1 Serangoon North Avenue 6, that do not have any signs that indicate the name of the company. The gate is highly secure, seems like for car to enter, neet to by pass a few layer of security. The wall also machiam like a mini version of changi prison. So far the very few employess that enter and exit are FT.. Suspect this building to be a one of those off shore bank.. Don't think I like this type of working environment, too controlled..
