Unregistered | Maybe you can try searching for telco recruiting in LinkedIn and add a filter for location to be Singapore. | |

Unregistered | It should be 120k thereabouts. Have you tried contacting a local recruiter in SG? | |

Great insight. Thanks for that. Looks like I'll take the public limousine! What should one expect's salary for a managerial role? |

For the Camry, the $152k includes the COE otherwise known as the certification of entitlement. Petrol and parking are relatively ok, at about $100 per tank and $1.20/hour for non-CBD street parking respectively. Then there’s the annual road tax, at about $1k, and insurance $1k. Maintenance is another cost. Besides caucasians from all over the world Brits Aussies and Americans, we also have quite a number of mainland Chinese, Malaysian Chinese, Indians, some Koreans and Filipinos working in white collar jobs. Depending how you count, about 30-40% of the working population here are foreigners. |

$152K for an entry-level Camry. Wow. That's luxury vehicle territory (Porsche etc.) I own two cars, so I am very lucky in comparison. That's brutal, and a serious reality check. How much do registration/licensing fees run for? You are right to assume that I am Asian Canadian, and yes, I do have the "Hollywood" North American accent. Of both times during my travels in Singapore, locals would ask if I was from the US or Canada. I struggled with "Singlish," but perhaps that's something that needs to be picked up over time and constant exposure. I noticed there seems to be a handful of Australian and New Zealand expats in Singapore as well (which only makes sense due to it being the closest "Western" country to Asia.) |

A car is super expensive compared to the rest of the world. A brand new Toyota Camry costs $152k (cheapest Camry model). And you can only take a max loan of 60%, which means you have to pay 40% in cash. For properties, it's worse -- 20% "additional" duty for any property purchase. 0% for citizens if they are first-time owners. It's not all bad. As a poster mentioned, the locals here have an affinity towards western things, including non-caucasian people from the north american continent, people who speak roughly the same accent as Hollywood movie characters. Since you said you're from Vancouver, I'm guessing you're an Asian Canadian? |

bcrdukes | Rats. That may not work in my favour as I am not Caucasian. | |
