The 996 culture isn't true for Singapore, yes I know people at shopee OT a lot, some even come on Weekends but it's not a MUST. That needs to be cleared up...
As for the pay, Bytedance pays above 6k with 0 YOE. It's true, I have a NTU grad friend who got it. For Shopee it depends, not all SWE get 6k or above 5k. I have heard of people getting 4.5k.
Sorry I can't give you any more info than that, none of my friends will share their TC, only their base pay with me...
So yeah if you have the chance, go for Bytedance definitely. The pay is amazing, WLB is not that awful tbh, I'd say it's similar to DBS. ( Some OT, etc )

tech salaries are highly "subsidised" indirectly in singapore
during the biotech boom, all the money on the order of tens of billions went to biotech (with nothing to show for in the R&D area)
(ever wonder why it was a desert for tech in singapore during biotech boom but suddenly become such a hot area in so short a time?)
now that we have given up on biotech, the money is now thrown at the tech sector
which is why salary is high even when you're working as a low lvl code monkey in a us tech mnc which can be done easily in india (maybe used to be done there for cheaper better faster) and nothing strategic for the company
the only companies that gain real advantages operating here are the chinese companies who want to be close to the market (asean), and do not face hiring restrictions
other countries' tech mncs have no benefits except taxes
