@OP, it's very good based on local cost of living. Major expenses below are in monthly terms:
1. Rent. Prime location in city centre where MBBs are will cost anywhere from RM 2k to RM4k for 2 bedroom condo. If you want to live just across the Twin Towers, you pay about RM 4k.
2. Transport per person. Expect to pay around RM 200 for work commute within KL and another RM 300 for ride-sharing services on weekends when you visit other towns near KL.
3. Food per person. Food in the city centre costs more and the range depends on what you eat. Assuming you only eat out and have local food (the cheap option), you would spend RM 1k to RM1.5k. If you have about 3 nicer meals and drinks a week, you would spend about RM 2k to RM 3k.
4. Fun. Sky's the limit but RM 1.5k is enough for a person's backpacking trip in Southeast Asia for one weekend. This includes flights and Airbnb.

Spouse is Malaysian, if that has any effect on my chances.

Where you from bro

I did. But they have very few data points and low confidence in the range.

So are you coming?

Definitely interested! Thanks for the insights, very helpful. Now I just need to do some networking and getting in touch with the recruiter to discuss my case. :)

Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

Any update on comp?
