YOE 10 yrs TC 235K AirBnb US: TC 320K USD AirBnb SG: TC 280K SGD Need to pick one by Friday. I am an Asian and on H1 Visa in US. Staying in CA. Don't know where to settle. Aim is to save more to retire early Update: Married with one kid.
Singapore. Far lower taxes. So you have a kid? Family? SG is far safer and family friendly. Education is also world class
Airbnb SG TC in what currency?
Given your age you don't have a clear path to PR at SG
Not looking for PR and stuff
If you treasure driving to get to places, privacy, comfort, nature, and weather, stay in US.
Thanks
Take the US offer and then try to see if you can travel to SG office for some Short term assignment. It is always easier to get a transfer from US to SG then SG to US.
Sure
Wow that’s a huge offer for SG, is usually a 50-75% multiplier. If you’re interested in asia then go sg
Actually other companies like Stripe , Netflix, FB , Google, bytedance are ready to pay equivalent and more
In sg? Why? Talent isn’t better there than many 2nd site offices and definitely not at Bay Area level
320k in the Bay Area gives you only mediocre living style, 280k SGD you are practically crazy rich
Crazy rich Asians? 😂
I can see why you’re torn. I would be too. Everything the US is good for Singapore also has to a certain extent (except true freedom/democracy, but it has recently become apparent to me that they don’t give a shit about those things there). SG has world-class education, housing is affordable, highly urban, etc. Only thing is that your career choices might be limited if you’re only looking at tech, but I would probably be happier because #food. You eat food 1095 times in a year.
Are both in USD

Can you settle in US anytime soon? Whats your progress on gc
