QUOTE(seantang @ May 14 2010, 11:39 AM) 1.Job exposure, career development Seantang thanks for your reply!Manager in AT&T Cyberjaya vs Exec in Singapore? No brainer... the managerial exposure and experience will outstrip whatever low level experience he gains in Singapore. 2.Standard of living RM7000 is pretty comfortable in KL. Firmly middle class. S$3800 is okay in Singapore, but on the low side. The only advantage is the S$ exchange rate allows you to buy more imported stuff. But then again, the S$ salary is practically only half of the RM salary... and that removes most of the exchange rate difference. 3.Money Like I said, the big difference in salaries removes the S$ exchange rate advantage. All in all, the big salary difference offers very little financial incentive and comes with a significant career downgrade. Thumbs down. I m not sure whether the job u offered by AT&T is manager level or not..but most probably both also engineer level, Non-management position. Added on May 14, 2010, 11:58 amHis only concern now is about job challenges, job exposure and the opportunitues he can get in SG. He believes that he can develop his career better in SG. In my opinion, if you work in singapore before your resume will be more shinning...correct me if i am wrong. FYI.. His current salary is around rm5k, is it wise to downgrade it to 3.8k sgd?

oh well thanks for all your advice, but anyway he already rejected AT&T offer and accept the SG job just now. So we will have a new member to join us soon...
Added on May 14, 2010, 1:17 pm QUOTE(seantang @ May 14 2010, 01:14 PM) Let's be frank. His pay is not going to jump from S$3.8K to S$10K in a few years... unless he's very lucky or has very good timing. Good one, but too late. When the time i contact him to read this forum he already rejected AT&T. However, if he goes for that RM7K job in AT&T and after a couple of years, move to Sg from there - S$10K won't be far off.
