Definitely competitive. The post tax salary is globally recognized to be one of the best in the world. Not to mention, if you do get permanent residency, company contributes more to your retirement fund.

If you're senior enough yes, considering the low tax. If you're early career the cost of living is too high especially with the current rental market

M1: Most expats I know live with roommates and spend around 2000 a month on rent. I chose to live alone and spend 3800 a month.

Comparable to where?

If you make more than 200k, Singapore is a good place to be

I’m unsure what the proper time is to ask for a salary bump.

Backstory:
I joined a top 20 freight brokerage as a pricing analyst about 6 months ago and keep hearing from my direct lead (c-level) that I have basically moved mountains for this new team I joined.

I’ve streamlined processes that has led to lower operational costs as we don’t need to hire ops team members now. With this I have the quantitative data to back it up.

I just had a 50% increase in compensation @ my startup. I’m super happy, but given the current market, I’m highly considering telling my CEO that I’m happy to go back to my old salary or even lower if that puts the company in a better position financially and strategically. Should I do it? What are the pros and cons?

I make $135K and have about $1.5M in stock options.

I am interviewing for a new IT Manager position. I started putting out soft feelers and then hit the hunt harder. The problem: I have one offer and need to give an answer by next Wednesday. I have two other opportunities that are in final steps but probably won’t have offers by next Wednesday. Both of the other offers will be higher pay but clearly are uncertain for offers. Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?

He just keeps telling me that if I want to get ahead, then this is what I need to do.

I'm not sure what to do here—do you have any advice?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam.

But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
