Hong Kong top talent pass is a good option if you have three years experience post graduation and went to one of top 100 universities in the world. You can do any job in HK under this scheme and even start your own business or be self-employed. The stuff about just moving to Singapore is a bit of a fantasy, however. They are strict with visas.
As someone with ASD and ADHD, it's incredibly difficult for a lot us to compete in any industry due to natures sense of uncanny valley we can give if we don't mask. Which can make it worse if people have to know us for a long time aha. But we try our best.
SG person here: to get into Singapore on a work visa, u need a job paying u minimum $5,600 per month. Jobs that pay u $5,600+ per month as a starting salary is top tier tech and finance firms. (Google, TikTok, JPM, Nomura) Singapore Local Grads are averaging 4.5k-5k range Ask yourself as a foreigner come in, are u competitive enough to ask for a minimum salary of 5.6k to be eligible for a E-pass work visa, can they not just hire locals instead? SG dont have a open border policy for skilled workers, they set policys in pace to only get the Crème de la crème and unfortunately that means at usually only top 3s (Oxbridge, LSE) have a good chance, and past 5th ranks (extremely difficult).
Particularly if the UK was responsible for dropping b💣mbs all over the place, like the did in Syria & Afghanistan. How come people are kicking off about "illegal asylum seekers" now when their parliament created that mess in the first place?
@@tkilla1202 So it's alright if your lot (the "right" sort) come through our gaff, but if qualified Asians immigrate to the UK to work in the NHS, they still get told to piss off back home and the have locals kick up a massive stink about how it's "mass immigration"? Can't have it both ways mate.
YET ANOTHER OUTSTANDING POST TOM. DEFINITE PEARLS OF WISDOM. YOU HAVE MATURITY AND ACUMEN WAY BEYOND YOUR YEARS. YOUR VIEWERS WOULD BENEFIT FROM HEARING ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND INFLUENCERS AND MENTORS. WHO HAS BEEN YOUR COLOSSUS IN SHAPING YOUR LIFE TO DATE. YOUR DAD. YOUR MUM. A SIBLING. A FRIEND. A SCHOOL TEACHER. A PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHOR/ADVISOR (e.g. Jim Rohn). OR IS IT A COMBINATION OF ALL OF THE ABOVE AS WELL AS A YEARN TO LEARN?
I especially agree with the networking part, I feel like the type of people that these companys are going to employ are the ones that hop on a plane to see the country themselves and try in persons, a face is always better than a name
Great to see you have worked all this out so young.. we left Australia 2023 to live in Thailand.. we are over 60 couple & love life here it's so much easier to live here & not just survive.. 😊😊
9:09 - Exceeds 45% Tax - yeah, there is the 60% tax trap between 100-125K in the UK. Absolutely disgusting. Only thing you can do up to there is dump it in your pension to avoid the government spunking it on who knows what.
I’ve got a physics degree and have been looking at jobs all over the place (Singapore, HK, and Dubai included). However I didn’t go to a RG uni due to having a tough time during my A-levels, and that seems to be the real issue. It seems as if the availability of good opportunities as a Graduate is non existent if you didn’t have your shit together at the ages of 16 to 18 (even though I got great GCSEs and a 2:1 at uni). I’ve primarily been looking for jobs in finance/trading, so if anyone has any advice on how to get a job in this field in a country like Singapore then I’m all ears. So far I have found the exact same challenges in getting a job in foreign countries as I have found in the UK, except at least the UK doesn’t have the visa barrier.
Younger brother's a quant trader for Deutsche Bank HQ in Singapore. Mate, you'd need a BCom in Finance to work on a trading floor. BSc like Physics won't help much with that. Have you thought about getting into consulting? Drop me your email below and I'll try link you up with some options.
@ hmm, I’m pretty sure the vast majority of QTs have stem degrees, and that a lot of S&T floors at banks have a lot of stem. But either way, yes I’d be interested in any help, is there a way to send you my email privately?
been thinking about it. I graduated Architecture but work in a shop and have been applying to related fields and recently some fields that are still related but not architecture, but without any luck. I also live in London! Problem is, home is home... and where would I start? and I need a constant supply of inhalers, I wouldn't know what to do... I am familiar with at least Tokyo and Osaka.
@@TomBirchy Yes Im aware but I wouldnt know where to start in accessing them, especially as an immigrant to those places, would there be costs from that which I may not be able to afford is my main concern. I should do my research but I just have no idea where to start with anything like this, regardless of ensuring medical access or not.
cost of living and inflation mate. 30k from 2008 equates to 50k and 50k from 2008 equates 70k+ so your 20k would equate to around 40k todays money. so yes graduates today are severely short changed. And if your living in London a graduate needs around 50k just to be able to even live there - I've seen graduates paid 26-30k in London and are living with friends or parents just to survive - consider this also taxes on average are 5-9% higher as well.
30-40-50k? I don't think you've seen the job market for grads. You'll be lucky to get a starting salary of 40k. I have seen roles asking for russel group grads in london offering 30k
considering that you are a law graduate yourself, what do you suggest in terms of career opportunities in Asia to mature law graduates and even to those who have a masters in law but haven't yet secured a legal job?
Hi Tom, great video. Do you have any websites or resources you would recommend for finding a good grad job in Singapore/HK/SEA? I met you at your shop in Krabi-- maybe you remember me we did an interview you might remember my super tall ginger friend! I have a 2:1 in economics from a russell group.
Fuck, I did colouring in Bradford :/

I needed that break with that lady, these videos have so much energy.

5600 SGD converted to GBP is a low wage for the people I am referring to
Exactly! and similarly there's nothing wrong with leaving your country for a better life in the UK (legally).
Particularly if the UK was responsible for dropping b💣mbs all over the place, like the did in Syria & Afghanistan. How come people are kicking off about "illegal asylum seekers" now when their parliament created that mess in the first place?
Those with Nursing Degree stand a good chance, huge demand. Many Brits ladies are now in various local Hospitals Dept.
Do you know any more about this? Is the pay actually much better, online it doesnt seem to be
local hospitals in sg?
Great video Tom
I would agree, lots of good opportunities in Asia for intelligent and qualified people from the UK.
Remember - he who dares, wins.
so if an Asian graduated and wanted to work in the UK would you be ok with it?
@DonDon45-i5h Of course.
I don't agree one bit with the planned mass immigration created by the US wars and the great replacement plan though.

順便喚起，『亞細亞』這概念是歐洲哲學的勸解。
況且，『澳大利亞』這辭源是從哪兒來？！
Love this Tom - living the London grad life right now and it is pretty miserable. Cheers for the inspiration! Time to make a move 👍

Well said man, I'm a teacher in Kuwait and worked out well!
*Also, India is a good option. Nice curry and many Indian restaurants. You can find indian restaurants everywhere and at a cheap price*

So how is singapore paying for all the emergency and public services without tax? lol
Singapore's tax rate is 19%-23% but allocated extremely efficiently
@@TomBirchy ah ok
Excellent video. I did exactly that 28 years ago and never looked back.
Take a break and catch your breath😅
You think 30-50K isn't great for a graduate salary? I graduated in 2008 and my first job as a Software Dev was £20K.

I like the sound of Singapore and how things are done there, but the humidity would be hard.
just curious.. you very rarely mentioned next door Malaysia..

Costs of living??

29.. got a 2:1 accelerated Law degree at Buckingham.. nearly done with BTC.. could this contribute to anything or only Russell groups
Everything apart from the Hong Kong scheme I mentioned
@ thank you for your insight. Great content! look into expat recruitment business.. All the best keep succeeding!

did you not watch the video when he said to fly out and network g
JobsLah, LinkedIn, JobStreet but best is to fly out and network
