Unregistered i also think u should look at the annual package though it's very shiok to receive a bigger monthly la..

Other than money, how's the working hrs, scope etc? If u intend to stay only 1 or 2 yrs, then no point. but if u stay longer, the long term benefits will definitely outstand everything. Like you confirm can get the bonus that u are worried, gain relevant experience and if it's a big firm, it looks good on CV too.

Most big companies look at annual package and usually their bonus are very close to budget, so it's stable. If u are joining a reputable company and no tight monthly financial needs, then this is a package worth considering..

HRs r not dumb. from my experience they almost always look at your previous anual package and offer accordingly. salary payouts are quite transparent in Singapore and it is very easy to verify from your CPF, tax notice etc. So don't expect using a high monthly basic to secure a high overall package if you don't receive bonus/AWS, they'll know.

Age and no. of years is 1 thing, but what level are you at? If you are relatively lower level in terms of the job hierarchy, don’t think any decent company will entertain your insistence of getting same monthly.

Unregistered Most MNC HRs now look at total package. It is unlikely you can go around telling people you want them to min maintain same monthly, as this will easily mean them paying another 25-35% a year.

If you are relatively junior and dealing with big companies with established processes, I don't think anyone would accept this kind of "I only want to look at monthly basic" logic.

My advice is if you are still young and junior level, don't limit your options by sticking to this type of thinking. Think of the big picture in terms of career development, CV building & industry networking.

Monthly cut is abt 15%.
15% seems too much cut. Think very carefully before you decide. A company do not want to match the current basic may not be very trustworthy in terms of career growth and financial benefit.

Unregistered Somehow, it is always easier to negotiate for your next job's pay based on your basic monthly salary. But career development and experience is more important if the cut ain't too big and you're still getting ok for the overall annual.
