Hi , I am thinking of looking for a job in singapore. Any idea what is the salary range for a j2ee java programmer with 2 years exp in singapore ? How much should I put for my expected salary so that it will not be too high till lost the chances of getting interviews? current salary in malayisa isaround 4k-4.5k. Thanks.

How about putting the salary as negotiable so that you will not be harming your chance? Actually, you can look at singapore job portals like jobsdb and see what employer is offering for recruitment of similar position and experience. Wont be too far off with that.

I have tried to look at the jobstreet and see those experience, expected salary, and education level by the applicants.
I just see quite some with like 8 years only putting expectation like $2500-$3000 only.Making me think it is too competitive in the IT field in Singapore because I am expecting $3500 or more lo.

that's pretty normal depends on which IT field you are in. I also 7 years exp and drawing a lot less than that  cry.gif .
If you are in the support field, for sure your pay gonna sux. move to other field if you have the chance.
If you want to earn high $$ in Singapore. Either be a banker or venture into O&G. you can ask mackiddo& deodorant for more info.

1more thing to add, same position actually pays 50% more in KL (dollar to dollar comparison). So don't expect you will get dollar to dollar pay if you are from IT support field. IT sux in Sigapore.

Wow 7 years exp but a lot less that that. Really cannot imagine.
Anyway thanks for the info. I am not from support line. I am a java j2ee/jee programmer. Will that make a much difference?

Not really wanna making lots of money but at least hoping can get the average pay like singaporean there and not really interested in banking but O&G hard to get in =(

8 years experience in IT should be aiming at least around $80k-$100k per annum, at least that is what I understand from our resident IT gurus chanti-sama and ky-khor
Thanks for the info, what about a 2-3 years java jee programmer in banking line? How much should he expecting?
Thanks.

So for IT/telco industry with 5 years exp...if they offer salary around $3700 it is low offer or average offer
?

I am not sure as well gotta compare with what are you making right now in malaysia. If you are making like 6k or more, then it is sure very low.
