In pubs showing these matches, around 10 SGD...swfc08 wrote:Really? That's better than i'd expected!
Maybe going off topic here, but how much can i expect to pay for a pint of beer in a bar showing English Premier League / World Cup?
Thanks
Yes.Do you think it´s enough for renting a nice condo, hiring a maid, and having a quiet life there ?
I think you could be hard pressed on that salary, especially if your kids are school age, which would be the biggest factor.SwissVince wrote:Hi everybody,

What will be the difference between gross and net salary ?
What others taxes should I consider ?

Many thanks

I think you'll find that most here who have gone the local route have done so from the get go. It's much easier that way. If you try it your way, easing into it, it will never happen. It's called total immersion, the only effective way. As soon as you start compromising, it will not work. I, like $Pripps probably, am not saying it's for everybody, but like him, and boffenl, and myself and an ever growing group of western expats, it's most definitely doable and if you get your kids into a good local school here and they're academically inclined their chances on getting into the major top ranked western universities are very good. We are just saying it's another POV to look at that has also worked well for quite a few of us.Leo23 wrote:Sure, locals do not have to pay int'l school fees, live in condos, adjust their standard of living/deal with culture shock, etc. Perhaps after landing for a year or so, one can adapt and adjust accordingly but to suggest one can do that after just arriving is not advisable. Too much change, too quickly...
