previously work in Citigroup KL for 7.5 years,migrated to NYC 5 months ago. Salary not what i expected but no choice due to lack of US working experience

That's about rm250k per year! So lucky guy.

new york some more..

NYC expenses are so high. Do you managed to still save a lot after all your expenses and entertainment?

congratz ! mind i ask u have PR in usa? also, how was the tax like?

i think you can work your way up over there. the quality of life should be better too

Temporary i have a place to stay without needing to paid rent, i calculated can save at least 2k every 4 week excluding other expenses.

yeah, green card holder. Tax is insane high roughly around 28% for my salary bracket, will have a better idea once my pay cheque is out since is paid every 2 weeks


you are right, there is federal tax, state tax, local tax, social security tax, medicare tax, and etc.

Average only. If count nyc specifically then abit low side but still ok

No..rental doesnt cost that much contrary to popular beliefs unless u die2 wan to rent in near high class places.

Just want to ask you guys, what would be the amount of SGD I can ask for if I move to work in SG? Based on your experiences.

Also, how much would be needed to maintain a roughly similar lifestyle?

If anyone could shed some light on this I would be very grateful, thanks!

I would roughly say a good 8k sgd then can consider move

1 to 1 is the best, but extremely hard

How about your average annual bonus? There are a lot companies in SG will ask for the current & expected annual package.
