I forget to add on my aim. Probably to be a finance manager in a successful company in Singapore like Singapore Airline, Jardine, P&G. Targeting around 6-7k income/month with around 3months or more bonus timeline will be to reach the goal in 2-3years time. Of course anything excess will be good. Haha.
I dont think I have the substance to be CFO of a group MNC so I am not aiming to earn anything more than 12k.

Without a big4 CV you will struggle to even get SIA to allow you in as an accountant/exec. 2-3 years time want to be a finance manager in P&G? LOL wait long long! I'm not even sure those cream of the crop who join their grad program can move up that fast.

Frankly it's impossible you can be a finance manager in a MNC in just 2-3 years time. Fresh grads work in Big 4 to gain experience before jumping to commercial, and it takes min 6 years to be a manager in Big 4 and only then do you have a chance at jumping to a finance manager position outside. Even so there is no guarantee you will get the job. Many other more experienced people would like such a job as well.

Sacrificing salary is nothing new actually. Why do you think so many grads with strong qualifications are working ridiculous hours in big 4 with a miserly starting pay of 2.8k when they can easily get >3.5k doing other finance jobs?
Ultimately it is your choice. One thing is for sure though, if you find it painful to move now next time will be even harder. A lot depends on your ambition, the route you are at now most likely career ceiling is 10-12k salary as some local finance controller which is actually not bad.
Sure going down the big MNC route increases your career ceiling to maybe 40-50k or even >$1mil if you get group level positions, but it's not guaranteed and most people are not able to reach that level anyway.

I say serve the highest paying master as long as this doesn't interfere with your professional bearing too much. However if it does, then it's a tradeoff for reaching a higher career point with the odds of success unknown to you right now. What's known, however, is if you decide to move off to Big 4 then your wage instantly suffers a setback and it won't be this easy or even fast to bring it back to where it used to be let alone any higher.
So, please consider your move carefully.
