Hi experts,

I am currently in need of your fellow opinion regarding my new job offer. I am currently in sales role in a MNC on FMCG sector & drawing about ( RM8k basic + RM7k commision monthly). My company is currently looking to promote me into a regional role & to be based in Singapore. The offer letter is not being issued, so I have no clarity in terms of compensation package. For now, I know that the company is giving a housing allowance in my new role. However, I would like to know on how much should I ask for my new role ?

For some context, I will be relocating there with my wife & 2 year old kid. My wife is currently not working & she will.be under dependent visa if we were to move to Singapore. I am also thinking of asking my company to include education allowance for my kid.

Kindly advice if you have any experience on this. Thanks

I will not be ranked as SM ( maybe more towards a Manager). Also I will be an individual contributor. With this info, can I still aim for 11k SGD Pre-tax ? Also I was tols that the employer CPF is around 17% for PR & Citizen. Since, I am none of that, can I request the sum to be included in my compensation package ?

I was told the same by colleagues. However, I am uncertain if nursery counts as apart of education.

Hi there. Below are the details that I know for now :

1. My company allocates 3k SGD for housing allowance for singles. However, the package is different for families ( I am not sure by how much). I am personally aiming for 3.5 to 4k SGD for housing allowance.

2. Kids education are usually taken by my company. However, since my kid is only 2 years old, I am unsure whether nursery counts as "education". Need some info for this

3. Company car is provided for me.

Is there anything else that I should consider ? Appreciate some insights here

Thank you for sharing this. In that, I would negotiate for an additional 1.2k SGD as apart of CPF contribution ( hopefully they are willing to consider).

Thank you for sharing this info. Also may I know, if the 1.2k SGD CPF is included in the package stated in mycareerfuture website ?

Yes, I will be taking the offer & relocate to SG

They did & the offer is above my expectations..... will definitely apply for PR next year

Hi there !

Love singapore for everything it has to offer. Currently, staying in Bukit Timah area & I love the surrounding. The old people here (Aunties & Uncles ) are also a caring neighbour.

However, I do miss the Malaysian food. Missing nasi kandar now haha

I moved here with my family & currently renting a 5 room HDB in Bukit Timah. I feel like HDB offers the best space for my family. The condos here are too small (<800 sqft)

Overall, I do enjoy living in singapore & I kinda like the fast paced environment. Everything is efficient
