Things are expensive in singapore please do research first before accepting offer.

The demand here is in digital (AI, data science, cloud infra, SRE) and financial services, especially fintech. You can do a quick search on Google for specifics.

Taxes are among the lowest here.
Daily expenses can be controlled if you spend on the right options:
- public transport is S$2 max per train ride, bus ride
- taxi is S$15 on average per journey
- rental of a 2Br apartment expect to pay between S$2500 to $5000. Rental market is very hot right now so pick the location judiciously. If daily commute is 1 hour it is acceptable by my standards
- food, you have a wide range of options. Restaurants are generally expensive (s$80 to $150). But you can still have a decent meal at our low cost hawker centres at less than $10/meal. Majority of the locals eat there.
- Alcohol is crazy expensive, special occasions only
- cars are a luxury here

Just 2c about the rental situation; it is heating up for a few reasons 1) construction of new housing is only just picking up post pandemic, so home owners are starting to rent as an interim solution. 2) foreign talent who left during the pandemic are coming back, competing for supply of existing homes. 3) exodus of talent from Hong Kong and China to Singapore.
Got a feeling the rental market will soften in 1-2 years as the government has taken actions to intervene.

The Way to a Higher Salary? Leave.

If I had stayed in the role I was in originally and grown with it, I’d be making maybe $120k, best case. I also wouldn’t have broken 6-figures in under 4 years by waiting.

The biggest lie that companies tell you is you can grow in a firm, both professionally and financially. The only ones that grow are already the people a) getting the promotions, or b) on the sales side.

If neither applies to you, the fastest way to achieve salary growth is to leave.

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
