Hi guys! Still remember me? I have posted in v7 before, asking opinions from bros here.

So yeah, I have made a difficult decision to work in SG, alone. Its a tough one, to be separated from wife (she's pregnant, due deliver ard CNY next year), so I made it a point to travel back at least 3 times a month...She's understanding and supportive as well. Well, have sacrifice a bit for the better lifestyle for my wife and baby, heh.

In return, the offer is quite attractive; just the basic alone is higher than my current pay, comparing SGD1 to RM1. A number of perks offered that my current cant even come close. Was informed to tender resignation after they got the EP approval from MOM. Guess what, submit to them on Sunday, then they called up today saying that my EP's approved. My god, thats was blazingly fast & efficient! rclxms.gif

Expected commencement is early of Nov. Will take this opportunity to accompany my wife tongue.gif

Walau! If u got wife the equation must change man. RM1=SGD1 may not be worth it anymore unless its >SGD10k. Why? Coz the cost of you going back every week, rental/instalment of 2 sides (SG/Mal), emotional expense plus SG is damn boring if you have nobody. PS Geylang is out of the question for U.

If its >SGD10k, without any 2nd thoughts I would be happy to have my wife joins me in SG. My property in MY is basically self-sustaining, and I'm provided with housing allowance while in SG. I do have factored in all of these misc expenses, so to speak. Was offered relocation allowance too, just in case to cover additional expenditure arised due to emotional-stricken transfer between countries tongue.gif

But none can replace the time I share with my family. or the time being a father to my baby when in need. Travelling back during weekends is the least I can do. Btw, I'm not alone in SG, got bunch of frens, a cousin and an uncle as well, which will keep me company....hopefully.

Director tried to counter-offer today. Making me feel like a jerk, and guilty at the same time. Im just wondering, all these while I'm underpaid then? biggrin.gif
