Moving to Singapore from USA

[denly90]

I am moving from the USA to Singapore with my Singaporean wife soon and wanted to ask a few questions:

1. What's the best way for me to find a job? I have 6 years of experience in investment banking and private equity

2. What are some things worth bringing from the USA? Looking for things that are either hard to find or really expensive in Singapore

3. Whats the best banking option? I'd like to be able to access / move my cash from the USA to Singapore

1. LinkedIn or whatever network you have. Also company websites. Agents here are generally useless. Obviously not a good time to be job seeking.
2. Anything from the US is pricey now due to the exchange rate, so whatever you might miss I guess.
3. I use Citibank and they have been fine but there are some new players like Revolut and Youtrip which are worth looking into for additional services / options.

Not from the US, so can't answer 2.
For point 1: if you are currently working, ask that company to move you.
Point 3. I would use a firm that is both in the US and Singapore, so as to reduce fees. I think Citi is the one that might work for you.

3. Transferwise is a good option.
