Hello! Moved from Singapore a couple of months ago and have experience in the banking/ financial services industry.
No luck finding work here and I've cast a very wide net and the feedback I get is they want someone with local experience.
Looking for any role in operations/ customer service/ compliance. If anyone has any tips or advice, I'm all ears. Thanks!

You will have to look at this differently your banking compliance background from SGP is useful but at the same time irrelevant here in AUS, the two sets of legislation and guidance are poles apart.

So you may need to drop down a ladder rung or two to get some local experience

No one tells you this before you emigrate but AUS values local experience far more than actual ability to do the role

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy.

I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
