Minimum salary & expenditure in Singapore

[mbksg]

Hi Friends
I would be expecting job offer from a IT company in Singapore.
I have 4 years experience in Networking ( Cisco platform).
I am married with having 4 yr old kid. Kindly advise how much salary should I expect from the company.
And how much is the average monthly expenditure for family of 3 person?

Regards

Good degree, CISCO certification and 4 years experience - about $4K

About $4 to $5K depending on your total experience.

The expenditure will also be about $3K-$4K I guess if you are paying for rent.
Assuming minimum $1.5K for rent.

You might want to be more careful with your estimated expenditure. Singapore is an expensive city, you will definetely be struggling with only 4K a month.

Your biggest problem would be accomodation. You have to search for HDB since condo rentals start from 4000 /mth. Of course you can easily negotiate 1K off. But even 1,5K HDB is not easy to find.

Your second worry is your kid's education. Unless you are here for a one year stint, you'll have to enroll him to a local school. International schools charge phenomenal fees.

After that come other expenses, driving, restaurant, entertainment. They all cost a fortune. You have to negotiate your package well.
