Hello,
I am new to the forums, and as you would expect, I joined because I am considering moving to Singapore to experience a new culture and lifestyle.
I have three quick questions.
1) What might be the average salary range for someone who has worked for in finance for 1.5 years. My current salary is around $40-50K USD. Can I expect to live somewhat comfortably in Singapore with that same salary or slightly more? What's the tax rate there for my income bracket?
2) Where did you apply to receive the most job offers and/or interviews from? Company websites directly or headhunters?
3) When you interviewed, were you required from many interviewers to come in and interview face-to-face. I'm asking this for logistical reasons. I am currently located in the US and flying into Singapore to interview would be costly.
Thanks for the responses. If any of you have personal success stories to share, I would be delighted to hear from them. I might learn a thing or two from your experiences in becoming an expat.
