What are my chances to get into Singapore, and how do they compare now vs. after residency? How are the working conditions & pay? What is expected of first year graduates skill-wise? At this point in time, I don't feel well prepared to handle complex cases tbh.

For example, in my country I have excellent working conditions (good working hours, humane shifts) and an ok-ish salary, but the pay doesn't progress much after residency.

Any input appreciated
Is your medical degree recognized in Singapore? That should be the number 1 question.
