Offered TC: 130K SGD (110K Base + bonus + RSUs) YOE: 7 years Have competitive offer from Amazon Toronto (TC: 190K CAD). Does it make sense to give ByteDance a try? #offer #singapore #bytedance

Gotta factor in the low SG tax. Do a calculation overall and compare post tax salary, and post tax savings in either country. Off hand, looks like 190k CAD is 122k CAD (125k SGD) post tax, and 130k SGD is 120k SGD post tax. Now they are both comparable.

SIXT zealdeal OP Jun 15, 2020

Yes. Hence comes the question of quality of work and growth opportunities.

What’s the role in Amazon?

Amazon because of its diversity and growth potential

190k CAD is way way better than 130k SGD. you can save ton of money via RRSP deductions. Your actual tax rate will be way lower. You can’t just compare blind absolute tax rates . Not to mention that Vancouver renting is cheaper than Singapore

SIXT zealdeal OP Jun 15, 2020

The location is Toronto. But again, rent there also is cheaper than Singapore it seems.

Google blimey$ Jun 15, 2020

Yup cheaper even for Toronto

If you can’t speak Chinese, it is never a good idea to work at bytedance. Unless you want to take a risk for the experience of working with 800M mau user base and jump to gpay team in Google sg or fb sg later.

Amazon sounds like a better deal.

Walmart hijq Jun 17, 2020

Isn't the bonus 25% of base or is it only in us

SIXT zealdeal OP Jun 17, 2020

For me they told that 25% of base is the upper limit for performance based bonus.
