Send exactly one more, then mentally move on. Ghosting after final round usually means one of: internal hiring freeze, they picked someone e…
Worked in HR/payroll, so let me clear this up. AWS (Annual Wage Supplement, the 13th month) is NOT required by law in Singapore, MOM encoura…
I stayed an extra 8 months for a 4-month bonus once and I regret it, because I did the actual maths wrong. Yes the bonus was real money, but…
