fymk SG Out of curiosity Would you accept a job which pays more (let's say an extra 10k more) with a time limited contract of 2 years? Or would you prefer to take a job that does not pay that extra but you will be appointed as on-going staff?
CoolMyth SG 10K more monthly or annually? Even if annually, that translates to roughly 800 more monthly. I'll take the 2 years contract one.
fymk SG From the grapevine, I only know that the particular position is dependent on funding from government research grants and if the funding is pulled - the extension does not exist . The benefits however is good - the networks that can be formed are excellent and one may ( note: MAY) be able to plough ahead if one can keep the networks happy. But that usually comes with the downside, the networks are unhappy - you die standing.
crimsontears SG depending on the number hours, the kind of work you do and the enviroment. if the staff ard is okay, i suppose 2 years can pass quite easily. is there any other catch to the former one? coz 10k is uqite alot. you decide bahx, its your life.
bigmouthjoe SG If money not issue, see which ones you feel more value added lor, say in future when you put in your resume which one you will feel more proud of.
fymk SG It will be like a temporary promotion about 2 levels up. They asked me if I am interested because my ex boss recommended me into it. However it will have to be through an agency acting as a third party, it will be faster for them to acquire staff rather than waiting for 2 months and also that way I can enter by the backdoor instead of shoving my way into the front .
choco B SG How old are you and how long have you been in this industry ? Do you intend to continue in it in the future?
rainee SG 2 years contract one... mite have a chance they will renew ur contract if u show satisfactory work after 2 years... and if u find out the job dun really suit u, can always quit after 2 years...
