actually i realise a lot ppl asking how much for salary for xx year for nn industry but since malaysia and sg is geographically close, similar culture, similar cost  of living (albeit of difference but in terms of food and transport), much of the salary is equal.

if u are earning 4k in myr, expect to earn around 3.8k - 4.2k  removing consideration for the size of company, client exposure, role type

just because, a move whether horizontal or vertical would have positive or negative impact on the salary. so it should be no brainer if u are already earning 4k myr and then someone comes and tell u ur expected is 3k sgd effectively devaluing ur experience and skills (unless the size of company is different but for the sake of argument we assume it's the same)

of course, this is just my 2 cents

tldr: if u already making n myr, expect +-20% in sgd. simple as that

But the industry standard between MY and SG can be different. This can be one of the main factor of the salary difference.

got example?

i've had it guys making 4k in myr and make between 3.5 to 4.2k sgd
i've had bankers making 3k in myr and make between 3-4k sgd
i've had engineers making 5k in myr and make between 4.5 - 5.5k sgd

and mind u, some made horizontal movement from malaysia to sg

but of course, not everyone get this amount but there are ppl that do

QS, I have a friend insist the standards used are different and that hinders her from trying to get a job here.

I also have friend in Audit getting back almost similar pay because she requested for it. See how you snake your way in interview lo

Hahaha tats y I previously tell u all just come whenever u got the chance, gain experience in Malaysia for one or 2 yrs equals to nothing to SG company. Eventually u still need to lowball urself to lower salary making urself unhappy or compete with SG freshie

Especially in finance / business / banking

Else stay put in Malaysia and reaches really high position beforr jump here, my cousin with big 4 for few yrs in Penang before transfer to SG

Handsome pay

any mnc hiring senior system engineer?
been in sg for 8 months and really not used to small smb
I miss my large mnc life in KL but of course want to stay in sg.

What's the downside of working in small medium business?

for work wise, customer is also smb, hence the project also small very small scale, my skill almost getting rusted.
For example, implement an ERP system for a 5-10 users environment, only involve a physical ERP server, probably a brand new firewall for public access to the ERP system and that's it. While for larger scale project, it might involve more complicated network environment, integration with the customer existing infrastructure, etc....

for benefit wise, needless to say, no more big pantry full with chocolate, nice R&R room with darts, gaming system...
probably office in cbd or somewhere near town area, more convenient if you want to hang out with frens after work.

Just talk crap here, I believe i gonna stuck here in smb unless i go back KL 

Omg, means if currently having 7k myr salary should demand 7k sgd? @_@

got scenario like if 7k myr but sg side offer 5k sgd, would u guys accept it?

btw, there's no info at 1st post, if someone can share which bank, mobile service provide and maybe credit card good at sg thn would be useful too?

Me too i moved out from mnc to smb and it was difficult to adjust especially in pace and work style but I couldn't think of going back to kl for any godly reason, rather smb in sg than mnc in kl

Sound like mostly everybody having the same fate of working for smb in sg yea.

those in sg mnc, report in. lol

how's the pay there bro?

Just so so, i got around 30% pay cut compare figure to figure.
9 years experience, maybe I am old ady, no company want to hire anymore 
Exactly my thinking right now 
my work scope being down scale to a level that I have to help singaporean aunty to re-connect printer, fix outlook profile 
And they always shout - wa biang! why like that my email not coming in! wah sio!  cannot print la!
If my ex-colleague know this, they gonna laugh until their ass fall off
