Salary for expat graduate in Singapore?

Not as straight-forward as it seems. I've worked in Singapore before, on top of several years of work experience (partly PT, partly FT). So not 'just' graduate, but experienced at that and also with a few additional qualifications. When applying to one of the MANY jobs I'm applying to, what salary s...

Cheers for that folks! :) I'll try and work with that... worst case scenario I shall be dragging them to Brotzeit! I'm well excited for those sausages though :) A German colleague told me he had divine pretzels there- and he's from Munich so knows what he's talking about!

German Beer ANYWHERE?

Okay, this is quite sad- I swear I'm no beer fanatic. But I'm thinking of taking my Singaporean colleagues out for some good German beer. Trying to avoid the usual though- so no 'Brotzeit' or 'Paulaner' please! There must be other placs that serve good German beer??? Also, I've heard of a legendary ...

Now that's good news! I'd understood 1-month rentals as generally limited rentals. Good to hear that I was wrong about that one! Cheers!

I know there are month by month rentals... but honestly, I cannot afford to be working and moving continuously around for 6 months.

same boat

Hi! Just about to move to Singapore in June myself. Doing a 6-month stint with a company operating in the Science Park. I'll be coming over on my own so I'll be in the enviable position of knowing no one... Great times ahead ;) I've moved around quite a bit, including a 4-year stay in Colorado, so I...

Cheers for that. Craigslist is a good shout- the expats property is fairly limited to condos and apartments which go beyond my budget. Thx!

Cheers guys, for that information! I'm really glad that my thread has received quite a few replies- thank u. I'll look into all of those options. Right now, though, the company's dealt me a blow: they'll have to apply for a visa (obvioulsy) but that'll have to wait till March or April... THEN I get ...

affordable accommodation between city and science park

:???: I am very overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information on accommodation in Singapore! Here's the deal: I am a student, studying in Bristol, UK at the moment. Will be moving to Singapore for half a year this coming June (2009) to work for a company located in the Science Park in the western p...
