Just some back-of-envelope calculations.

NQ pay at a MC firm is around 100k a year. Using s://.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/salary.php, take home is then around £5,500 a month (SGD 9,000 or so).

Apparently A&G pays 7,000 SGD gross for their NQs?

So you can afford to pay 2,000 SGD in rent as a UK NQ, and still have your NET pay be higher in the UK than the gross pay.


And this is not even taking into account that UK trainees are paid at 45-50£ a year during their TC, while SG trainees get peanuts (or the different stages of the legal supply chain that Singapore firms and international firms sit).

Yup. Guess UK TC wins but the tax is a killer (how do you even get a banded rate of up to 40%?) I am absolutely appalled at their high income tax. NQ to NQ, the present Part B + PTC means it is one year. UK TC/SQE 2 years, LPC is one year full time. That's 3 years (correct me if I'm wrong).

So properly computed, Part B + PTC (1Y) = 2 Year SQE + 1 year LPC. SG NQ takes 1 year, UK takes 3 years hence UK NQ = 2 PQE for SG.

This *might* change in future. Who knows.

UK NQ seems now comparable to some of the top SG local rates post-tax.

I think London firms should move up their pay to cover rent and tax at least for foreign hires. Then again, if rent were an issue, it might be less competitive to hire a foreigner as opposed to a Londoner.

You all sleep under your desks? No need pay for mortgage? Work in UK need place to stay, work in SG don't need?

I think Singapore companies should move up their pay to cover rent and tax at least for CECA hires.

LPC if remember correctly has accelerated version if you're sponsored by your firm. 7 months start to finish, full time, fail anything you lose your TC.
