Hey everyone, I'm a senior consultant with 8 years of experience under my belt, and I've just been offered an expat role in Singapore with a Big 4 firm. They're throwing around numbers like $250k SGD base salary, but I'm not sure if that's competitive or if I should push for more.

What's the typical breakdown for expat packages in Singapore? Should I expect a housing allowance, or will they provide a furnished apartment? What about school fees for my kids, flights home for the family, and tax equalization?

If you've been given an offer, it is perfectly fine to ask for documentation on benefits like all the stuff you mentioned (if they exist).

250k sgd is 188k usd. That's sensible for an 8 yoe senior consultant. SG is cheaper to live in than SF and NYC, so you wouldn't be doing too badly.

Sounds like a dream opportunity. Pls take me with you lol.

What country are you based in now?

Singapore has an extremely high cost of living. It’s more expensive than NYC. Do some online research on rent, utilities, food etc, taxes (don’t have to pay US income tax?) and then calculate what you need to live there based on their local costs.

$250k base for SC is mental compared to what locals are getting. Definitely go for it, and ask for allowances

Are you in Singapore?

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
