surfius Luck does play a significant role when it comes to finding opportunities in SG. In my experience, working locally first allowed me to build a strong network and gain valuable insights into the job market. It's true that rushing into things might be risky, but taking the time to establish yourself can lead to better offers down the line. On a side note, I recently implemented a work management system in my SEO agency, which has greatly improved our team's efficiency and organization. It's definitely worth considering for optimizing your workflow!

gerasimus SG direct application - luck plays a huge part.
Work locally, then apply - might fetch better offers, but you gotta stick around for a bit.
Work for a company with SG office - good chances, and could fast-track the move.
The first one's risky, but the last two could fetch a better salary. That said, I totally get why you want to leave ASAP. Cold and darkness ain't for everyone!

Project management

Hi there.

I'm currently studying at a university in a Scandinavian country. In a few years time, I will have completed both my bachelor's and master's degrees. My wife is Malaysian so we would like to relocate to Singapore since it will be very close to her home.

I am thinking about how to best approach this relocation. My plan is to work as a project manager. I'm pretty sure it will be quite difficult to land an entry-level job in Singapore from overseas, so I may need to work for a year or so to acquire some experience.

So far I have the following potential scenarios:

- Graduate and apply to a company in SG directly, get lucky
- Graduate and work here in this country for a little while, and then apply
- Graduate and work for a company here that has an office in SG, and then internally transfer

What do you guys think would increase my chances of getting a better salary? I'm in doubt about the first scenario as I'm fairly sure that even if I land an offer, that it will be pretty low. The second and third scenarios are probably more realistic and beneficial; however, on a personal note, my wife and myself despise living here (guess the grass is always greener on the other side, right?). The weather and the way of life just don't jive with us, so we'd like to get away as soon as possible.

So I'm not sure what direction to take. Do you guys have any input?

Best regards,

Timb4455
