Hi everyone,
Really grateful to find this such supportive community.
I just graduated from NTU this June, under MOE Tuition Grant. I started my job search early this year and so desperate to have a job to "pay" back my tuition grant. I accepted a job offer which I'm not so passionate about but thought that the company is decent enough. I started my job end of June 2022.
Things turned out to be quite bad when I started, my team turned out to be so toxic and unsupportive, lots of gossip, untrue stories, destructive feedback, unprofessional behaviors. My mental health has been affected severely just after 3 weeks, I cried everyday. I tried so hard but the feedback received was only negative and the manager said that I would not pass my probation.
In August, I got contacted by someone from the industry that I'm truly passionate about, interviewed and got a job offer. I accepted it (although the monthly salary is $100 less that what I was earning) and without new EP got approved, I resigned from the current company (since I can't bear it any longer).
I really want this job + I also need to work in SG to "pay" my tuition grant. I am very scared that the EP get rejected since I change job too fast (new EP submitted 2.5 months from my first EP got issued). May I ask if anyone have any clue that MOM will reject EP application for early job hopping and lower salary compared to previous one? In case of rejection, is it possible to justify my bad experience with MOM?
Thank you so much!
Have a nice weekend ahead.
