Close to SGD200k is what we need for me to stop working and look after the kids fulltime.
He is a gov't scholar and was on Dean's List in NUS. Unfortunately he is not well connected. He says only "white horse" gets SGD 180k.
I never really understood what it means, can someone tell me what "white horse" means in this context?

you cant compare civil service with private sector. It is known to earn less but with the added benefit of longer annual leaves, better work-life balance etc. earning 150k p.a. in civil service in one's late 30s is doing just fine according to the many posts here.
