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
