I'm planning to quit my current job in the near future in pursue of a better career progression (currently stagnant in the company) in the same field, which is IT-related.

For those working there, what is the SGD-MYR ratio when it comes to negotiating the salary? For instance, if one is currently earning RM5K before deductions.

Don't quit your job.
There is no guarantee you will find one in SG.
Worse is no job offer in SG and all your saving burnt because you spent 6 months in Singapore looking for a job.

Singapore Govt under Singaporean pressure to hire local and PRs , if you are not PR , you need to get EP (Employment Pass) , although there are no strict rules of how many foreigners over local ratio , but Govt does take a keen look at the Local to foreign hire ratio ... especially MNC where MNC has special concession with EDB (Economic Dev Board)

so unless if you are excellent in your field , and/or have strong networking connections , and/or some high up nephews or nieces , do consider internal transfer or at least dont quit your job yet and navigate / network first . biggrin.gif
