Congrats! Depends on your career and personal goals. In the short term, you’d probably earn more in Singapore post tax. But assuming that both are consulting gigs, the exit opps in the us might be better.

From your ques if money is the ONLY criteria, SG is better , as you’ll have more cash in hand. Are you a US citizen/ can go back there easily?
If yes, I’d suggest to go to SG, try it out. If you don’t like can always come back , or even take an internal transfer in your firm

Would it still be the same argument if it’s Sgd370k in Singapore vs usd370k in the states (say Chicago or NYC)?

Thanks SC
