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! =)

QUOTE(T3N5AI @ Mar 21 2013, 10:47 PM) U sure u wanna travel back and fro? Unless u r living near 2nd link or working near tuas area, i think its kinda hassle to cross the border everyday. Staying in Permas, and the company's 5 mins away from Jurong East mrt. This post has been edited by sleepyjoy: Mar 21 2013, 10:50 PM

QUOTE(JohnJon82 @ Mar 21 2013, 11:25 PM) 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. Hmmm.. Ya, I'll prob give it a shot before deciding if I should stay in Sg. Thanks for the advice tho!

QUOTE(xtylish @ Apr 4 2013, 12:04 AM) 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).
