I used to blurt out my current salary and it capped every offer. Now I frame it around total package. I say something like: 'My current tota…
The "accrued interest" thing scares people unnecessarily, let me demystify it. When you use CPF OA to pay for your flat, you must return tha…
Let me give the less rosy take. The savings are real on paper, but I stopped doing it regularly because the jam and the whole day it consume…
We took non-mature in Punggol back when it was still ulu and full of construction dust. First two years I complained non-stop, no proper cof…

Please don't brush this off as being dramatic, months of 4 to 5 hours sleep with racing thoughts is your body waving a red flag. Been exactl…
Went through the process and found it more rigorous and formal than my previous fintech interviews. Several rounds, a good amount of behavio…

Been through many reservist IPPTs from a desk-job body, here's the efficient approach for the 3 stations (push-ups, sit-ups, 2.4km run). Giv…
