Curious_scientist: Post-doctoral fellow and research scientist are quite different concepts at least at the place where I work :-) Post-doctoral fellow: from ~4.5-6.5SGD/month, research scientist: don't know, but more.

Seema, not alot. Especially after you have shown your potential employers that you cannot even spell "living" and "investment"...

Admin,

This post is just the one that I have copied from above because I find it matching to my query.

Nevertheless I am still waiting for the answer.

Seema, should be around 15-18k/month. That should be just about enough for a family of 3. Anything below 13k and they're probably trying to underpay you. Be careful and don't give in too easily during negotiations.

Perks come with 48 days annual leave (including family care leave), 2 year hospitalization leave (only 16 months is paid leave), 3 years maternity leave, etc. You should re-confirm these numbers with the HR department before signing the contract.

Good luck!

Hey I have been offered S$4500 monthly. How much can i save monthly (I ma with my family of 3)

#**469** (**permalink**) 18-03-2009, 08:19 PM

seema, if you are very careful and frugal, after paying for rent, etc., typically you'll be able to save around SGD1000, assuming that your family of 3 are willing to live a very simple life (per year).

I wish to find out the standard pay for a senior nurse of 17 years experience, isn't $3000 too low? Working in the same company for 14 years. Starting at $1500 being a registered nurse since 1992
Thanks
