All are fine, but Icon and Sail for instance have no balconies. Sail and 1 Shenton aren't the closest to grocery shopping unless you want to overpay for Jasons or Coldstorage but then again they're not exactly on your doorstep for 1 Shenton. Of the four you have selected I would go for Clift or 1 Sh...

Will working under dependent visa better for me in terms of tax and insurance benefits? Only you and you alone know your tax situation so you'll need to make the decision. You don't even mention which country you're coming from which is a key factor here... You also have the third option to continu...

SCB, good luck. They've just made massive cut-backs in their expat numbers in senior roles throughout the bank. They only offer local contracts and have been doing so for probably 10 years. ...and SCB you should consider a different company. It's one of the worst places to work and has a very poor r...

FairPrice Finest in 100AM had plenty on Sunday.
There was a "special on" think they're overstocked!

The issue for me is I may have over exaggerated my salary when I was negotiating with my new employer and obviously they will see the application form. Will the Singapore Government verify my previous salary or...? You need to get past the hurdle of the new company first. You better hope that they'...

I've been told by so many people that I would be insane to move to Singapore with that Salary but I can't understand why. They're just jealous! That money is more than fine for a young singleton. Just come out here and enjoy :mrgreen: On your budgeting you've missed of utilities, such as water, ele...

I've needed to produce UK police records in previous roles e.g government and also obtaining certain licencing.
Shouldn't be any issue unless you of course do have a police record...

You say you're looking at this long term.... to put it bluntly it could take a long time. Best bet is to position yourselves as well as you can job wise in the UK to open those opportunities to get a transfer here. You say you husband works for a global bank, he should perhaps re position himself to...

Good luck trying to enact that based on your resignation.
