Salary in India vs Singapore.
 

Hi,

I have been working in New Delhi in an Indian IT firm and getting SGD 5,700 per month. I have been offered a salary of SGD 10,000.

Is it a good salary by Singaporean standards? Is it a lucrative offer in Singapore?

In India SGD 5700 is more than a good salary and I can afford to maintain a house, a car , my wife and 2 kids.

Please stay in New Delhi

Please do not come in any capacity except as a tourist (even that is debatable). The local banking & IT industry and heartlands have already been irreversibly infested with your kind as it is.

Singaporeans please excuse, I am not asking you.

For all you haters and gossip mongers, I have asked a specific question objectively and you are required to refrain from answering it if you are already a stereotype driven bigot who thinks his race is superior.

1. You have no idea of the contributions hard working people like us are making to your economy while you slouch with your ugly mouths.

2. I personally believe people like us are up for a raise given the contributions we make. We will get it.

3. I think yes, I should stay back but I will come to Singapore on a significantly higher offer and will ensure that people like are weeded off from the country you call home. I assure you that.

Stay away haters

For a fair comparision, we use the international established PPP purchasing power parity to compare as this account for cost of living.


PPP Singapore (1.08): your proposed sg salary is 10000sgd, converting to PPP is 9300 intl dollar. (10000/1.08)
PPP India (17.04), your current indian salary is 5700sgd or 290000inr. converting to PPP is 170000 intl dollar. (290000/17.04)

from 170000 to 9300 intl dollar, you effectively take a 45% pay cut in view of Singapore being more expensive.

A toyota altis in Singapore cost $90,000sgd.

Hard to maintain the usual standard of living. I would ask your company to offer another 10000sgd, so that your montly is 20000sgd if you want to have a car and send your kids to good school. You can justify with my calculations using PPP.

the singaporeans are nasty. but as a fellow indian, i think you should be mindful of the differential cost of living.
we use the PPP as an unbiased guide.

I'm not the above poster, but if you don't like Singaporeans I politely suggest you go back to where you came from.

I'd say I have a strong distate for haters and yes, if Singaporeans are racist they need to be taught a caning lesson.
