Hello All,
I also want to contribute to the thread by sharing my profile.
I feel fortunate to get my PR in Singapore within 5 months (in June 2022) after first try.
I will like to share my profile and am happy to answer questions.
Staying in SG since Aug 2015 (7years before I got my PR)
Education - Master from IIT B Ph.D. from NUS (2020) in Interdisciplinary/Engineering and Science Subject
Annual salary during application: ~120K (including Bonus)
Occupation- Management Consultant for a German MNC (left academia by that time)
Pass: E Pass
Nationality- Indian
Marital status: Single (during application)
Age: 29 when applied
What I think helped-
a) Science Contribution-
1) Published 5 papers during my PhD
2) Co-edited a special issue of the journal for the Proceedings for Singapore National Academy of Sciences
3) 1- Patent for developing a novel biomaterial
b) Economic and Innovation Contribution
1) Worked with EDB during research days and spun out a company
2) NUS incubated it in its Startup Accelerator
3) Raised the pre-seed amount
c) Integration/ Social Participation
1) Led student activities and worked closely with the w2i and WSG
2) Since I speak Bengali, I volunteered during the Covid crisis among FW
Personally, I am interested in citizenship and contributing to the little red dot moving forward.
Preparing for this, I have done the following-
a) Applied as a volunteer for the Singapore Armed Forces Voluntary Corps
b) Bought a house as I want to settle here
c) Reached out to MP and will work in the Community Grassroots
PS: Wife is from Mainland China and a PR with around same profile (age, salary, her role is in advanced data science )
I think it will be great if others can also share their profiles if they have revived the PR.
However we should be respectful of the fact that PR and ability to work here is a privilege and not a right!
