Hi fishes,

Recently, I had an interview with a Singapore-based IT company. They mentioned that the job position is for a 12-month contract-based role. I'm wondering what will happen after the first year. This is my first onsite opportunity, and I'm of Indian origin. I would appreciate your thoughts, folks.

Thanks for your response.
Is there any problem to switching other company before end of the contract?
Like Employee Pass etc,.

If they employee pass is not valid , mostly you have to come back.

Yes its difficult to find new job these days in Singapore, even if you are living in Singapore unless you have a PR.
Basically, they have come up with new COMPASS framework which makes it even more difficult. So I'd suggest if you are earning good enough in India, stay there only (unless you get a permanent role in Singapore).

You can try for another job before your contracts end.If its not happening then come back.

I would recommend you to grab that opportunity and experience that.

Usually in Singapore contract job is most common which would get renewed mostly. You can try for permanent job parallelly there.
