You came to Singapore at the right time. My colleague a Tamil from India came to Singapore in Aug 2008 and applied for PR within 9 months and he had his PR for his whole family by the time he completed 1 yr. But that idiot, didnt make any use of the PR, didnt buy a house, stayed here for 4 years and his salary was like 6k. The employer's contribution of CPF also came from his take home, so by the time he reached 3rd year, with 35% going to CPF, he had cash flow issues. Finally decided to give up PR and now he is in India. What a waste!
Coming back to you, are you worried regarding MoM or ICA? Are you worried about your PR application or about you getting the new EP. If it is the former, I would say, usually higher salary is always good except if the company/industry/role is not considered by ICA as strategic interest for Singapore. But then we will never know it. If I were you, I would not worry about the PR so much. I would rather worry about my career, the 8 hrs that I put in office, the higher salary and see if its worth it, if yes, I will take it.
