I'm a editor based in India and I have been offered a job by a well-established publishing company in Singapore. They are willing to give me S$ 2300 per month, with standard medical benefits (NO housing or car)
I personally think that this is very low. I have over 2 years experience in my field and have also worked in the US for an year (as a intern). I earn around INR 35K a month here in India and I feel I am worth much more in Singapore. But when I say this, the HR person at the offering company tells me that S$2300 is very good salary for a single person (I am unmarried right now, but my parents might visit me often and I also want to save some money)
I also asked a friend (who works as an architect in Singapore) about this salary and he explicitly told me to refuse the job offer. I am quite confused. Can anybody here advise me please? Am I being too greedy? Or should I ask for more... I did ask for S$ 2750, but the HR refused, saying that S$ 2300 would be their final offer.
Thanks in advance
