Can anyone from Singapore shed some light on the ratio of Foreigner/Local in companies there? I heard that if one company uses up all the quota, they cant hire internationals anymore?

I moved from Google SF to Google Singapore, and our office is roughly 2/3 non-Singaporean, 1/3 Singaporean.

T2 here. Yes they take internationals at entry level but no relocation perks to my knowledge. For my cohort, it’s like 40%/60% for the international/local split. Referring to nationality and not international/local university split as some locals come from overseas universities.

Not sure about quota but googling shows this: https://www.guidemesingapore.com/business-guides/managing-business/hr-management/guide-to-hiring-employees-in-singapore#General-recruitment-guidelines

Can you give a bit info on how do you apply to Singapore from UK? Like you apply and interview for graduate program of that firm in UK but set your preferred location to be Singapore? I thought you would interview with the office you would work in. Do you have to liaise anything with the Singapore team before applying?

My friend works at fb and he said his bizops team is mostly foreigner. Sounds like it depends on what company? Fb probably had a special agreement though because it employs so many people in singapore.

My friend tried applying to Bain but was flat out told they aren’t hiring foreigners. She’s American with 4 years exp in S& USA.

I don’t know specifics for Singapore or this case, but often with Bain it would also depend on the seniority they were coming in at... coming after 4y at S& would take you in at the same level as a undergrad (maybe they would give you a year tenure equivalent but likely no more). Think if you they had been coming in more senior they could have been more likely to sponsor.

What are the typical working hours there? How is the pay?

like

As far as I'm concerned, the pay is 75% of US, but tax rate is much lower so net income might be roughly the same. Working hours in ASEAN has been known to be quite harsh though. It'll be great if anyone from SIN can confirm.

P/s: it will be great if someone can give a bit info of how is Singapore's MBB/T2 firms' ratio and whether they take internationals or not? (Entry-level)

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
