there is no contractual/13th month salary...but there will be performance/variable bonus which ranges from 0-3 month...the position i've applied is a senior position...if the job offer is sgd4k only, then most likely i will pass out this position as it does not worth the efforts spent for relocation

How many years xp you have? Companies here are totally confused about the concept o senior. Concepts vary. Let's get to maths. How many years of xp?

And by the way. Singapore IT companies are generally "budget", with some hard to et exceptions. Here you are competing against very low budget IT pros that's just wanna get some pennies better than what they have. I would not change for 4k if I were u unless perspectives don't look good in MY... Remember accommodation here is not cheap

If what you have applied for is a senior position as a specialist, not a programmer, and not a PM, then S$4K+ is the reasonable expectation. If you do well as contract, you'll have a chance to be converted to permanent staff after 1 year.

But as previous poster has mentioned, you have to ask whether you will be working from client's place or from NCSHub, because working at client's place means less benefits and it will also be difficult for you to nail down your lodging location. You'll also have to content with reporting to the client's PM in addition to your own (a nightmare).

Wow, great insight comming from a former insider. Thanks

In SG (it's probably true in other places too), MNC vendors tend to pay higher than the local companies. Among them, principal vendors, global telcos and banks are probably the best paymasters. IT professionals, who want the best rewards, should consider these companies.

Also, SG being a hub city in APAC, you will find more principal vendors and global companies setting up shop here and that translates to more opportunities to the job seekers here.

From my perspective, I tend to believe that SG offers more opportunities than MY. Just look at how much FDI is MY attracting each year VS SG's. If you are young and adventurous, I think it's worthwhile to take the plunge to relocate and explore your career here. You may not get the best offer at first but once you start building your own network here, the reward will come.

any idea the job scope of a system analyst working inside NCS?

It should be around 3.5 - 4k depending on your years of experience.
