Hi all. So my wife has gotten a job offer in SP, so we are considering moving. We are both Danish citizens (yes that would mean we are from Denmark).
I am a bit cautious though, after reading this board, as it seems job options are somewhat limited by the MOM these days.
I am a 30 yr old Software Engineer / Project Manager with a degree in Computer Engineering and an MBA. I have 6 years of experience and a few Microsoft Certifications in various development fields.
How is the job market in my field as an expat? Will I be able to get a decent wage? And how are the advancement possibilities in the IT sector these days?
I have been looking at various job dbs, but they do not help me with figuring out whether or not expats will ever be considered for the jobs.
Thanks for your help.

Moving to Spore
If you're in any field that the ubiquitous Indian IT engineers can do: Forget it, for the salary you're likely to achieve you might as well stay at home and be a good husband!
If you have something extraordinary to offer, which is in rare in Singapore, if you know the market and approach the most likely employers, you might with some luck get a good job. The salary will be less than in Europe, but the lower taxes makes up for most of the difference.
