Well-known software businesses usually located in Bangsar, cyberjaya, Mid Valley, KL sentral, TPM. Large scale one are not many to choose. Common problem happened to the software professionals is that their skills sometimes are too niche in the market, if you're very valuable in your current company, it may not turn out to be the same in another company. Not many manager position here can get pay more than MYR 20k per mth.
Just to give you a sample, take a friend of mine as an example, Master's degree IT, age at 46 director of a SME software house, mthly salary = MYR 22k. Based on his responsibility and scope, I think he is underpaid.
In my humble opinion, MYR 22k per mth give one a comfortable life, but not a sophisticated one. In addition to the political & social instability, one step wrong in a financial decision, we ruin our whole life.
Pro is we get to stay with the family & friends we loved.
Con is the living environment.

Age matters in some industry, some bank for example HSBC, they annually review staff based on age, seniority, certification, and performance. Some employer like my current company (UK based) also favors to elder one every time they are looking for senior position to fill up.

SGD or MYR?
What kind of 2nd level support, would you mind to share?

Ya, u're right. +1 to your point.

Not really. A lot of MNC also practice the same. They didnt give very high increment unless the staff made a move from technician to engineer level.
I was in a foreign bank, the yearly increment quite slow, but they did provide a lot of employee career growth benefits etc. Promotion is based on seniority, performance, certification, which is review annually. From clerk promote to officer, the salary jump could be a few thousands.
Comfort zone or not is depends on how you think. Royalty give extra marks for people when comes to candidate selection. Some small enterprise willing to pay higher than the market rate, but they never take staff career growth into their business plan. Some people said that staffs from MNC are better in english communication. And I have seen a lot of MNC stipulated that they prefer MNC background whenever there any new intake.
Just my 2 cents.

This is the market price, majority out there getting the same.
