Your pay will mostly depend on how you fare well in the interviews as well as the company you apply for. SSE I would say can be anywhere from 5k-8k (maybe even more, i'm not sure) depending on where you apply and your skillset.

The most important factor nowadays is getting the employment pass. SG govt has tightened the regulations around this a bit after covid to prevent local unemployment so you need to go for a decent company with a good salary to get this approved (or some startups will also be able to get this approved). They have a min salary req to get EP (4500 SGD) but they expect this number to be higher the more working experience you have. They would also consider the university you got your degree from here, because some applicants have fucked this up for everyone by using fake degrees. So if you have a degree from an Indian university for example, they will ask for additional proof. You should target for 6000+ if you plan to go abroad with a dependant i.e. wife.

Work life balance will depend entirely on the company. There are some local/ Chinese run companies with messed up work cultures, but also MNC with good balance.

Expenses also depend on how you want to live your life. For housing, if you rent out a govt based HDB flat, this could be 1000-2000 SGD. Condo would be 2000+. If you eat at hawker centres, a single meal will cost you less than 10SGD. Can be even as low as 5.

Quality of life is extremely good. Public transportation and other infrastructure (i.e. internet) is top notch. You will not feel isolated here because its a multi cultural country.

This's very valuable.
Thanks a lot

Singa is great for singles, not for couples (unless both people work in high paid jobs).
Even for a working couple, if you get kids, expenses get very hard to manage very quickly.

One of my friends ( A-Tech Lead ) from my previous company has lived/worked there for around 5 years. He went with his wife who is just a house wife

If your goal is going to live there for 5 years save like 20 million and come to sri lanka invest in something and then retire or do some stress free job i can say it's possible.i'm working in malaysia in IT and not a SE or related to any brainstorming job like that.but at the moment getting singapore EP is the hardest thing due to covid.bofore covid with just 3 years of experience i got offers around 6-7k SGD but the workload they are expecting is not fun.If you have a offer go for it you won't regret.if you are trying to find expect some tough interviews and also beware of scammers.

While getting an EP is definitely harder than before, it's not impossible. There is a talent crunch in Singapore right now and the job market at least among the locals is very hot. If you are applying for a senior position i.e. Lead Engineer or above, chances are you will still get the EP.
Once you receive the EP, next hurdle will be actually getting here, as they have border restriction in place. You need a different entry approval from the govt to land here which is right now pretty hard to get if you are coming from South Asian countries. But this should be a short term issue.

Thank you.
I'm planning/thinking to go there like in mid of next year. Hopefully travel restriction will be lowered by then.
What's the considerable diff between EP and S pass ?
Last year I luckily got interviewed for Shopee (from here in SL). But didn't go through from 2nd interview. So, I hope I'll be able to get a job there

No worries mate always happy to share the 2cents I know. if you are planning on next year the possibility is bright. I know few people working in shopee really good work environment as they say. in short S pass if not for high paying IT jobs. if you get a good offer most probably it will be an EP.

yap whatever the field if you are skilled and your attitude is compatible with workspace culture you will be begged to join them. Hope border closure will end soon. It's really boring staying in a rented house far from motherland.
