Hello, I would like to know what's the average salary in Singapore? Is it hard to get around without a car?

The reason why I'm asking this is I might go to Singapore. I got my business degree in the U.S recently and planning to move to Canada in a couple of years. So meanwhile, I would like to gain experience in another country besides the U.S. If you do get hired, do they train you in specific ways? What's the primary language do they speak? What's there to do around there? How many hours do people work each week?


I'd appreciate it if there are people that have knowledge on this kind of stuff. Thank You for your time.

Singapore has an excellent transportation system, so u don't have to worry about getting a car. U cld get one eventually if u want to as prices of cars are dropping over there, but like I said, with an excellent transportation system, why would u need to? save the money for some shopping or hitting up the beaches of Bali and Phuket- very cheap!

They speak English in Singapore, majority speak Chinese as a 2nd language, so if u can speak Mandarin, then excellent. If u don't, it's totally fine. Knowledge of a foreign language(like French, German etc) is desirable but not needed. As long as u know English, u'll survive.

Training wise, it depends on the company..some will train u, some won't..so it depends. ask during the interviews.

working hours..pretty much the same as the States Mon-Fri 8/9 to 5. Most bosses tend to not want u to do OT unless its for some big project. Some companies have a half-day Saturday work day or alternate Sats, but most don't.

What's there to do? Erm..shopping, clubbing, chilling, beach. U cld go visit the neighbouring countries on weekends with the help of budget airlines(very cheap). Most Singaporeans who want to relax for the weekend like to go to Bintan(Indonesia), Batam(Indonesia), Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Genting. But if u have a couple of days off or if u dont mind rushing things u cld go to Krabi, Koh Samui, Phuket, Bangkok, Hong Kong etc.

Hope I was able to help!

No losty, my office standard working hour is 8.8 hour, translated into from 8.30 to 18.30. Bad eh? And the even worse coz my company pays me low salary.

dang..really?
I was just judging by the hours my friends work and their salary.

Singapore has a sucky public transport system.. Had to say this after I've been to Hong Kong..
As for cars, its still the most expensive place in the world to obtain a car due to COE, road tax, etc..
The petrol price is outrageous too..

^The oil price is a wordwide 'disaster'

Wait til you see the oub transport system in the Philippines. LOL

Oh come on, compared to some other places, our transportation system is excellent. Even the transport system in NYC can't beat it. It is so friggin disgusting to have rats in the same train ure on!

im working as an accountant for a small firm
my salary is $40 000
and during tax-return season
i get extra commissions

i also have a second job as a supermarket checkout boy
$10 000 a yr app.

so can someone compare that to Singapore?

About S$50k-60k for the small firm here. So convert to US$?

Do you have to pay S$2.20/ 73pesos/ US$1.6 for a litre in the Philippines??

$2000/month for fresh graduate. that is if you can get a job.

Spore is facing a shortage of workers. And if you cant get a job here, then I dont know what to say. Construction is booming. Govt just postponed 1.7b of project cuz construction material is under supply and contractors couldnt cope with massive inflow of project

I myself facing shortage of manpower. $2000 is you are lucky.....I pay minimum $2500. Wanna cum into engineering & construction??

40k for an accountant?? here you get around 80-100k

40k USD used to be a lot
but due to the fall of the USD, it doesnt seem much now

40k is my contracted salary
i do get more
..appx. i earn around 50k USD/year
im still early into my career

that's b.s. 80-100 K is for a financial analysist, senior financial analyist, or project manager all with an MBA degree.

it depends on who you work for man.......and mba degree is not really important anymore bro. Dont the economic crisis in 97 teach you anything bro...the moment you touch a book of what people write abt economics....what is said is already obselete....see the real world.....dun work for money....let money work for you

bill gates dun need harvard and ray kroc was not selling hamburgers for mac donalds

you have to be realistic as well
only a few of us will work in senior roles

1 nz dollar. lol
