If you are earning around RM4000, would you consider going to SG with SGD2400? hmm.gif

Commitment still the same, no difference.

Job in Malaysia - Marketing
Job in Singapore - Sales

S$2400 is bare minimum living in SG.

i would only consider it if it's S$3600 or above.

Although, if you don't mind having a downgrade in quality of life, you can survive with S$1200 and save the rest. Accommodation wouldn't look pretty @ S$500.

You can use the JobStreet Salary Report as a guide to know what's the range of salary for someone with similar year of experience/ qualification as you.

Jobstreet is a very bad salary indicator since it's completely not representative of the actual salary range in the current market.

Payscale's data is more accurate in my experience.

Hi sifu, advice needed.
If work at kl rm3500, work at sg sgd2200.
Where shall I go?

i would say Singapore.

The amount you can save in SG would be a lot more than KL especially once you start converting SGD over to MYR.

Plus, working in SG would look better in your resume.

How come you cannot live with anything below RM4K? I used to live under RM1k, even in the third year of my working (though granted I lived with my parents at the time).

Even say you have car installment RM600 and rent a good place at RM1.5k....that still comes up to RM3k only!

That's quite a myopic view of the expenses involved.

What about EPF? What about food? What about bills and other commitments? What about tax? What about savings?

The world doesn't just revolve around car installment and rent.
