    Quitting My Amazing Job (Am I insane?)

    @lyonap Seems like a Leo Burnett or Ogilvy type of job. There is no end to the grind in these marketing/ad houses. You could easily go in-house marketing for the same pay (or higher) and have better work life balance.

    Is it ok to reject offer after sign?

    @babysonsfalling This is asshole HR trying to squeeze candidate for lowest possible salary. The company can afford it but HR has KPI to reduce wage costs. If you have the Hiring Managers contact or email, you can inform them you are reconsidering due to HR not following the agreed upon amount...

    Friend won’t pay me back, what’s my opinions?

    @frogwellprincess Leave a message on all of his social media posts asking him about the money. Shaaaaameeee!!! If you know his family then shame him there too. Go to his house and speak to his parents maybe.

    Is EPF the best low risk investment for people above 60 y/o?

    @letters2words Once you withdraw, the limit of 100k per annum still applies if you want to put it back in. So your relative can slowly put back 100k every year

    Would you leave your RM10+k job in KL for a $5.5k job in SG?

    @antiteck No regrets! I found another job in malaysia that pays me more and reduces my working hours. The SG company was a bit pissy that I turned them down after they offered a bit more + spent 1hr on the phone to convince me.. but oh well. Some might say I am dumb to turn down Sibgapore...

    Would you leave your RM10+k job in KL for a $5.5k job in SG?

    @antiteck I recently went thru the same dilemma and my conclusion was that (personally, for me) it is not worth moving to SG for less than 7k SGD salary. Things are expensive. Culture is fastpaced. I am not willing to suffer 100% more at work for 50% increased savings. And after I factor in...

    Is just invest in the US market dumb?

    @eeevie Yes it is withheld on the US side, meaning what you get back is already taxed. For this reason, I am reluctant to invest in US-based stocks (30% tax), or even via the LSE (15% tax). I have put my funds into ETFs on the HKEX as those are not taxed. But of course its not equivalent to...

    Jump to 2 years contract in Oil n Gas, or remain at permanent office role?

    @notaperfectchristian Are the positives of + 7k (~RM580/month) and future O&G name worth the negatives of weird hours, almost halved annual leave (whats your daily wage?), 2 yr contract? Those hours mean you wont see your family/friends until weekends. But, you can easily get errands done in the...
