How does it compare in terms of compensation? What firm is it?

I mean that’s a major shift. Money is one thing but you’ll be able to get money anywhere. Moving across the world will be huge. Not knowing anyone and so far from family idk but the good thing is English is spoken there

English is the primary language spoken....

I’m from Singapore working in the US. Will be happy to answer any questions you have about Singapore.

Work culture,pls consider that..money is one thing but others factors are involved...

What’s wierd? I want OP to consider the work culture,Singapore has significantly long working hours compared to the US way of working...salaries are not as competitive as the US,it is a big shift and lots to consider

I would move to Singapore in a heartbeat if I didn’t have dependent kids... of course it is closer to India so I can be closer to family but Singapore is an awesome country. Even if you have the opportunity to move there for few years, I would take it. It would be good experience.
