Getting an IT Job outside Indonesia is a challenging process, but worth to try, for sure!
Take an example, to work in our neighbor country, such as Singapore.
Singapore has been developed rapidly since recent 15 years with clear vision and goals.
This extensive and rapid development in many sectors, including IT sector, will surely requires lots of man-power, highly skilled ones.
However, talented skills are still considered as scarce resources in Singapore, including IT professionals.
To boost the availability of these scarce resources, Singapore Government, which was initially very strict on importing foreign workers, are now opening the door wider by encouraging talented professionals from whole over the world to come and work in Singapore.
One of its new Policy is to introduce new type of Self-sponsor Work Permit, called Personal Employment Pass (PEP) - http://pubweb.fdbl.com/ihp8/global/media85.nsf/public-country-briefs/singapore?opendocument
Because of this new Policy and other benefits that employers in Singapore offer, Singapore is now becoming to be one of the most targeted Country to work and live.
Benefits that we can get if working in Singapore:
- Standard 13th month salary, this is a mandatory from the Government of Singapore.
- Lots of types of Leaves, from annual leaves, child care leaves, family leaves, etc. The annual leaves itself can be up to 21 days per annum.
- CPF contribution from Employer, outside our Basic Salary, which is considered high, about 15% per month.
- More money we can have for saving.
- Relatively higher annual bonus (depends on our KPI and Company's KPI)
- Regular salary increase every year
- Medical coverage for in-patient and out-patient (GP and Specialist)
- Extremely efficient environment, from Public transports up to Government services.
- Singapore is considered as one of the most safe and secure place to work and invest money to do business. This will surely contribute to excellent economic growth.
- and many more....
The main thing is, if considered as when I was working in Indonesia and now here, at least I can concentrate more on my job and pursue clearer Career Path.

Bos fadly,
>> CPF contribution from Employer, outside our Basic Salary, which is considered high, about 15% per month
Does all employer do same thing with their employee ? I mean have CPF contribution for us ?
Yes, all companies are required to pay 15% per month outside our salary.
It is a government rule to be followed by Singapore-based companies.
The amount though will be higher
from 1st year, to 2nd year, to 3rd year then to 4th year onwards will be the same.
Oh yes, just read the Internet.
ISS NUS offers some IT-related courses with 50% discounts, but only for Singaporeans and Singapore PR.
Once you have been stayed for about 1-2 years in Singapore, you can apply for a PR, which is most likely to be approved by the govt.
