Good to know that with 2 years experience you already get 3~3.5k range. May I know what field you are in and your post.

My view is that a similar post in Singapore should pay you roughly the same pay as in KL (so you should be looking at least around s$4.5-$5.0k to be fairly compensated).

However ... that also does depend on how desperate you are. The others do have a point that job market isn't so hot right now, so you need to decide whether you'll hold out for "fair" compensation, or if you're willing to lowball yourself and take a pay cut just to hop over the causeway.

$3k cannot survive in SG? if you expect to have the lifestyle of KL in SG then confirm cannot.

My concern is more in my monthly commitment where my average monthly expenses now is around RM 5k! So basically it already exceeded my monthly salary. So I should be considering the expenses needed in sg too if I am about to stay in Sg. I guess the minimum pay that I should accept is $4k.

Why not? Rent aside, I use about 150 - 200 per week only.
