If you are young PLEASE come. USD3.2K is definitely above average as compared to local fresh grad.

HDB here is already very comfortable and I'm paying $700 for a single room, 15 minutes bus ride from downtown. Find a good landlord and they will sometimes cook for you on weekends.

Your average meals will be $3 - $5 unless you enjoy cafes/eating in malls.

Use TPG for free mobile/data for your 1st year here.

First month come here just enjoy yourself. After the excitement is gone its very easy to save money here. Budget $50 weekly or $100 for expenses if you include drinking.

Things to consider:
- I will ask if can add on accommodation or provide relocation allowance 
- Check with your employer if they are matching CPF for you anot. Where you will contribute 20% monthly salary and employer match 17% to you. This will be your small pot of gold when you leave SG.

Even if they say no to both I'd still come to SG, unless married then no lah.

Graduate salary? At this point it's better for you to compare the future prospects for both jobs. If your current organisation offers better career progression and opportunities to move up, I would suggest sticking with it.
