Hi, seeking advice from the experts here.

Have been working in JB for 3 years now with current salary at RM3300. Might have a salary review end of this month. Last salary hike was RM300.

Went for an interview for the same job in Singapore at a reputable but not doing so well company. The interviewers seem to like my skills and experience. I got a call from their HR the next day offering me a SGD3000 pay. The benefits are about the same as my JB company (except no more OT pay, but transport allowance of $20 if OT more than 2 hours).

I plan to travel to and fro if I accept this job.

Should I leave the current comfortable job for more learning, but most likely stressful experience in Singapore?

Any advice would be much appreciated! =)

My colleague has been doing that for nearly 2 years. He looks very tired everyday, but still do-able. Just rent a room and go home in the weekends, health more important.

i don't think there's any bank that can deposit money in sg and withdraw in malaysia right? (because i just asked ocbc, they say they are different companies from malaysia)

From what I know, you can deposit your money in HSBC and withdraw from any HSBC around the world, as long as you don't mind the lousy bank exchange rate. ><

I think this also applies to any banks that issue ATM cards which uses Cirrus (like MEPS, but it's a worldwide interbank network).

My salary is SGD 900, But I still managed to save half of it every month and send it back to my parents. Those who are earning more than me, surely can save more.
