In singapore, work permit class are all based on salary you earn and associated rights. EP1 above 8k you can apply long term visa for your parents. EP2 above 6k you can think about applying permanent residency. SP you cannot bring your own spouse. WP you cannot marry to local.

It is a bit brutal. but effective.

IT outsourcing is like training you while you on pay. once entry level engineers get experienced and they will ask to migrate to US. eventually a local hire become out of job.

Things I don't understand is why all these IT jobs require degree. why cannot we train school dropout to do the works? don't listen to outsource company when they say we have 80% graduate/16% masters/4% PHD etc. see what skills you really want.
