Hello guys,
I got offered (confirmed) job in Singapore with start date January 2015 and I'm in doubt whether to proceed or not. For I have no idea what it would be like there.

The offer sound like this:
Basic : $3500 + $150 phone allowance + 3% - 7% commission based on target, reimbursement transportation & other claimable misc
Work hours is 9am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday & 10am to 1.30pm Saturday
Company: SPH

My concern is: $3500 monthly, is it enough to survive?

I've read this thread partly and found that a decent single room is already costing $800 - thats already 20% of my salary
I can't imagine what else is there to consider.
And the work hours is kinda bit too much. I don't know, what do you guys think?

My current package here in Malaysia:
More or less RM 5000 take home monthly, not much but considering I am home that's enough for me.
Monthly my expenses are rather same thus I would have left around RM 1500 till my next salary drawing every month.

So I still am doubting, whether I should take the offer or not. Your advise?

Yeah, I have 1 condo & paying for 2 cars, one for my own and another for my parents. so RM 3500 is the right amount I spent.
Commission is vary i assumed so can't really count that. lunch break I have yet to ask. Thanks for pointing that out.


I did, I asked for at least $3900 but was denied. They did however promise me an increment of $250 after probation, but that is 6 months later.
I actually need to make decision by end of the month so I can tender my resignation properly. sigh~
