    Guys, I have 7+ years exp in the industry and currently working as a Senior software engineer for a foreign company. These days I am looking for an opportunity in Singapore and I want to know the work-life balance in the Singapore SE field.
    Depends on the company as well. People in the company in which I work start heading back to their homes from 4.30 PM onwards. 🤷‍♂️

    I assume you're already earning a much high salary since you're working for a foreign company. So how you're gonna save money by just moving abroad? (Just curious)

    සිංගප්පුරුවෙ work life balance කියල දෙයක් නැ. work is the life

    උදේට MRT/LRT එකේ වැඩට ගිහින්, දවල්ට ලගම food court එකෙන් කාල, රැ ලයිට් පත්තුවෙන වෙලාවෙ එපාර්ට්මන්ට් එකට ඇවිත් නිදාගන්න පුළුවන්

    හොද චීන්නු, ඉන්දියන් කාරයො ඉන්න ටීම් එකක හිටියොත් දිනපතා රැ හතහමාර අට වෙනකන් ඉදල ඕෆ් වෙන්න පුළුවන්

    11-12 athare office ekata yanawa.
    4-5 wage gedara enawa. 20 minutes commute.
    Income eka at least top 10% range eke.
    Weekends wala free.
    Kemathi dawasaka WFH karanna puluwan.
    Office yanna kammali dawas wala sick leave danawa.
    Cannot expect anymore freedom from a job than this


    SG kiyanne highly competitive ratak. Ausi wage kelewak newei. Uba wage low iq ponnayonta nam mehe awilla survive wenna behe.

    Thama math hoyanooo....
    Singapore is good if you want to earn some quick cash and save. then come back to SL.
    it is also good to use it as a bridge on your path to a different country (which I did)

    work culture is driven by chinese and indians. so it is basically all work in most of the places. (i'm not saying there are better places - i worked in one once-, but in general it is not really good).
    go alone, try to stay with a group so you can group cook and save a bit more (anyways the food is cheap so eating outside is not really bad for money. but may be for your health). you can save a lot. then apply and work for PR somewhere else.
