Hi Sifus,
I am planning to apply for job in Singapore soon therefore intent to seek opinion from you guys over here
My concern is I’m getting a much premium pay in malaysia. With around 9 months of working experience, my current pay is around 6k MYR per month. Therefore I would expect similar amount dollar for my upcoming job, I.e at least 4.5k SGD or above.
I’m in the legal field which have much restriction in Singapore to practice law, so I would be looking for an in house legal / legal commercial job in related legal field. I did found some jobs indicating 4-6kSGD for 2 year working experience, but most of it are undisclosed salary.
Do enlighten me on this matter if it is reasonable to request 4.5k or 5k sgd for someone who have only 9 months working experience. I don’t wanna set my expectation too high prompting instant disqualification by the HR.
I am not a legal counsel but work with many of them (commercial/advisory) for projects and contracts law. Very well remunerated in return for thier labor. The cream of the crop grads are >7.5k in the top houses. The relatively smaller ones avg 5k. In-house will obviously be lower.

Given you just started out, you should be a price taker. The above is the reference for freshies. +-15% you should be alright.
