I thinks S$12K / month is a decent/good package for a single guy. SG has gone in to deep recession. So the real estate / rentals have dropped by 20-25%. You should be able to afford a nice apartment with all the facilites for 2-3k depending upon where do you decide to work.. Food is amazing and reas...

just 'coz one person of a particular nationality is not good, why does the whole nationality need to be condemned?

tht hypocrisy..

xdude

i think it really depends on 2 factors 1. How much do you thing is your worth? 2. What kind of company are you working with..

xdude
