How many years of experience does he have?
Does he qualify for a PEP?
Are you Singaporean? If not, where are you from? How difficult will it be for you to get permission to stay/live in SG? (hint: if you are from another SEA country, it could be a challenge)
How much money have you budgeted for living while looking for a job?
Singapore is not cheap. Getting hired may take months. Jobs are difficult to come by.
In the finance industry, the trend in SG is to offer six month to one year contracts. Why, everyday people with years of finance experience are arriving in SG because they have been made redundant in the US, UK, AUS, Paris, Germany, Japan. This, coupled with India being a short plane ride away with hoards of IT consultants with
a master’s degree from a prestigious university
that would be willing to work in SG for half of what you BF would want, makes finding finance (hell, any) IT work in SG challenging for all but the uber qualified.
I don’t want to crush your dreams, but you and your BF need to manage your expectations about job prospects and life in SG.
