Hi guys, nice thread here.

Would like to ask a bit. Say if the salary offered is the same dollar to dollar, e.g. RM5k get SGD 5k, will I suffer a reduced quality of life in SG?

For both salary range or 5k and 10k.

can you live without car?

other than accom and transport, other aspect should be better than Msia.

Really so expensive to own a car? I mean, assuming with SGD 200k car, if pay is say around SGD 12k, can afford right? Monthly repayment about 3.5k, with condo 3k.

84.4% of the SG population lives in HDB.
9.7% live in Condo.

If we extrapolate a bit and make some assumptions, it wouldn't be too inaccurate to say you need to be in the top 10% household income on the entire island to live in a 2,000 sqft condo.

If you are confident enough to be able to come here and compete with the millions of locals and foreigners and come up in the top 10% then by all means come and plant your flag flex.gif

Note: SG median household income is less than s$4k a month.

You're right, need to be top 10% to own 2000 sqft condo. Median household income stands at close to 10k.

Nice! More than Malaysia. Can you guys share which section of the bank (Finance / Risk / Treasury / Retail / Corporate / Investment / Securities / Equity Research) are you in?
