You don't get what I meant don't you?
Talking about salary...

Actually kinda lucky of me. Almost 2 years back landed my current and my first job in SG and my first job in life at quite an average or slightly below average salary in my field. Had 4 adjustments till date now taking about 40% higher pay compared to 2 years back.
But the work experience isn't entirely pleasing. Luckily the pay made up for some part of that

Spending also went up exponentially

Used to survive on 550 for rental, 450 for misc (food, transport, mobile, groceries, entertainment etc etc). Now is 650 for rental, another 650-800 for misc

Haven't account for my excluded expenses (those not day-to-day expenses like getting new shirts/gadgets/birthday presents etc etc)
Insaneeeeeeeeeee

good to know that more fellow msians are doing great

just like msia, there are good companies and bad companies in sg. i also got adjustment recently, also my first job in sg, started last year december. went up about 20%. fingers crossed for bonus.
for those who feel like starting a career at sg, don't worry too much if your starting salary is below average. things only matter in the long run (experience in sg contribute to new job, PR application, etc). especially if you're young and adventurous, go for it, it'll be a good experience.
