Went through almost the same thing. First, keep everything in writing, WhatsApp and email are fine as evidence. Send a firm but polite writt…
I took over a stall at 29 and I'll give you the completely unfiltered version. The romance dies on week one when you realise the day starts …
The thing everyone underestimates is accrued interest. Every dollar of CPF OA you use for the flat, you must return to your CPF with 2.5% co…
Nobody can time COE, I learned this the expensive way. It's a bidding system driven by quota and demand, and while quota is projected to inc…
Switched from banking ops to UX design at 34, now 38. Things I wish I knew: one, your savings runway matters more than your passion. I had 1…
Went through the process and found it more rigorous and formal than my previous fintech interviews. Several rounds, a good amount of behavio…
From my experience, timing is everything for a JB drive. Weekends are the worst, so if you must go on a weekend, cross super early, like bef…
Been there, and open war loses every time. What worked: I stopped waiting for my boss to credit me and built my own quiet visibility. I star…
Wish someone told me the mental game upfront. Physically BMT is designed for the average guy to pass, so unless you're very unfit you'll cop…

I was unfit and dreading it too, but honestly BMT was more manageable than I feared. If you're really out of shape you might be posted to a …
