thanks for your suggestions. it just really sucks to be in startups. really got no benefits, generally offer lower pay. Not to discourage anyone from joining startups. its a good experience to learn a wide range of skills and experience, but once is enough. when I see my peers all getting increment, bonuses, etc. can be quite demoralising.

In life, there are ups and downs. Sometimes u need to grab hold of what is available to u at that point of time, and see where this opportunity brings u.

Ur friends might appear at the moment to be doing better than u. However, the conclusion remains to be seen. Ur circumstances might turn out very differently in another 5, 10 or even 20 years time.

HR called me this morning ask me a weird question.
Say during the initial call I indicates that my current is from $x to $y but payslip shows a higher figure.

Asked me which 1 is my actual pay. I was like zzz
Ofc what the payslip say is the source of truth.

Not sure will jeopardize my chance a not

during the initial call, I give my celery as a range ($x to $y) instead of a fig.
My actual pay is slighty higher by a few hundred of $.

So today HR called n said she refer to her notes saying that during the initial call I indicated the range and now the payslip mentioned otherwise.

I act blur n say oh i dun rmb that part but the payslip will be the source of truth lo since that is given to you.
I oso put my current boss as reference so technically they can call n verify

Plus you understate rather than overstate. I don't see any issue

I just got an offer for a job which I considered as my second choice. I am still holding out for my first choice company but their recruitment process is very long. So should I accept the 2nd choice offer or reject that while waiting for the first choice one?

Take the offer first. Can always withdraw before start day although it isn't ideal.

plus your negotiation position for the next job (should you wish to) will be much stronger

 

[jinsatkilife]

Both jobs I applied already and in different stages of progress

Job 1 which is my 2nd choice received offer, is waiting for me to say yes/no. But I'm still holding out for job 2 (1st choice) went for 1st interview and still waiting for news of 2nd interview.

Ask when is the latest u can reply

Then if deadline reach, accept the one that was offered.

If second job offer, then resign or inform first offer u not turning up on first day as u got better offer
