Hi All,

Currently having a dilemma in my career choice.
Tendered resignation after work passes approved in SG this week but got counter offer.
Would like to seek opinions from sifus, which one would you all choose?

Malaysia:
MYR6,900
Banking industry
Counter offer RM10,000 + 2 level promotion (which will increase my future increment)

Benefits:
1) bank (iron rice bowl)
2) 3-6 mths bonus
3) 27 days annual leave
4) retirement benefit (last drawn salary X years worked)
5) 2% housing loan
6) very likely to reach 17k~20k & management level in 5 years time

Consideration:
1) High tax bracket
2) economic/political concern?
3) less spending power compared to SG (vacation, gadgets)
4) need to maintain excellent performance due to high expectation

Singapore:
SGD5,800
Payment industry, MNC

Benefits:
1) 1.5 mths bonus (can go up to 150% depending on performance)
2) 16 days annual leave, yearly +1 day until max 23 days
3) more spending power, x3.3 exchange rate
4) lower tax bracket
5) international exposure
6) reviews say more work life balance

Consideration:
1) Told them the counter offer but they can't increase the budget due to salary being one of the main point for my work passes being approved
2) Career prospects unknown
3) GF is working at SG for 2 years already (3k SGD)
4) job security, seems like lots of SG MNC are moving their operations to SEA countries like Msia, Thai & Viet
