"Never heard of this before. How does that work?"
It's just assumed that because I'm white I earn more money so I can afford to stay here.
"The power bill is reasonable if that comes with water. Or does water come with rent or free?"
Includes water in the power/gas bill.
"So, what kind of work do you do? With good hours, wages, and breaks? Is that average for your area?"
Just a lowly .NET dev. 10am till 6pm, good salary, hour lunch. There's a huge need for developers in Singapore. Singaporeans seem to get pushed towards Doctor/Lawyer/Accountant by their family, and those who do programming, often end up in big companies like IBM etc where they earn less and become a number, because family thinks that startups are not a good secure future. Atleast that's what i'm told from Singaporean programmers.
Traveling from Singapore is awesome too. Got return flights to Taiwan for a week for $70, been to Cambodia for $80 return, japan for $260 return, thailand for $160 return. Etc. Great for weekend trips. Fly friday night come home sunday night. :)
- ixosoxi 11y agoWhat are dev salaries like in Singapore?
- nickpsecurity 11y agoI'd appreciate dev's in Singapore confirming or rejecting this range with details: http://www.payscale.com/research/SG/Job=Software_Engineer/Salary http://www.payscale.com/research/SG/Job=Software_Engineer/Sa... https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/singapore-software-engineer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,9_IM1123_KO10,27.htm https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/singapore-software-engine...
- philliphaydon 11y agoI believe it's highly dependent on where you are from. Glass door has the average salary as < 4000/m, but to get an employment pass (EP) you need to be paid minimum of 4000/m There's linkedin jobs that go from 5k up to 14k. As far as I know, Java roles pay rather low because theres lots of developers from India who will fill those positions, but there are very few Node / .NET developers and so those roles get quite a bit more. I mostly do .NET tho, bit of Node, and currently learning golang (even tho I dont think there are any golang jobs in Singapore, want to learn something new) Basically I cannot confirm or deny those links because there are lots of factors to consider. The market here is very different to Australia where all roles are around the same range regardless of language.
