Hi guys i'm in a similar predicament. My current salary is RM4600 basic. Offered salary is 3900SGD basic + 300SGD allowance + CPF Cash in lieu (about 500SGD). Should i take up the Singapore offer considering the lower basic?

Thanks.

Your one no brainer lah. It's basically S$4700 vs RM4600. Even if you insist on excluding the CPF in-lieu portion, it's still S$4200 vs RM4600... quite acceptable.

what seantang says is right, SGD3.9k vs RM4.6k really no nid to compare. definitely SGD is better. the 1 they comparing previously is RM7k with SGD 3.8k, thats almost doubled. urs is just few hundred difference. not to mention add up everything, u are getting more. if u dun accept it, then u have some problem.

add me..i staying in marsiling area work place at orchard..

Great! Then I know I'l have friends there before I join, how nice!

I know he has made his decision but I personally think if someone is worth RM7k, he should be quite clear of what he wants in his career already, instead of looking solely at the monetary aspect

SGD4200 vs RM4600 of course singapore better la!!

SGD4200 x 2.34 = RM9828 ah!! compare with your RM4600, its double your current salary!
Plus your cpf is much much more, employee and employer contribute to 33%!! in 5 years you'll see a substantial amount you never seen before

Its not fair to compare in this manner.

You need to compare the savings on both sides at the end of the day.

Better still factor in the losses you may be facing in terms of not able to meet your gf, parents and your love ones.

Take into account on the opportunity cost that you may loss. For eg, you still need to pay your housing installment in MY despite incurring monthly rentals in SG and you failed to rent your house in MY.

Factor in that you may no longer able to enjoy the tasty nasi lemak in SG and so on.

As far as the financial aspect is concerned, the cost-benefit analysis should stop right here.

hi guys, any idea wat's the room rates like around bukit batok/bukit gombak? thanks

Who said ppl tend focus on career, alot of people focus on making as much money in the least amount of time so that they can retire early.

Hi guyz,

I am interested to work as software developer in Singapore.
Just got my degree in computing as fresh graduate.
Wondering what is the basic salary for a fresh graduate in Singapore.

Thanks

For fresh grad in singapore around 2.5K. But since your malaysian, you would get a little bit less then a local unless you studied from local uni like NUS.

I heard a few companies in the US are looking for software developer but for telecommunications sector, focusing on mobile user interface software developer. Primarily focusing on iphone and andriod OS. HP's new acquisition of palm are also looking for developers as well since they are going to roll out HP-Palm phones on webos.
