Living in Singapore vs Tokyo

Apr 27 12 Comments

Received few offers in Singapore and Japan.

Need some suggestions about income tax, rental, living expenses, purchasing power and so on in Tokyo.

Based on the TC and location, which is better?

Singapore: indeed
Japan: indeed

      This is just drivel regurgitated by someone who has no idea what they're talking about, OP. Indeed has great WLB in Tokyo (and elsewhere). The internet is filled with this 'EVERY JAPANESE COMPANY IS GOING TO OVERWORK YOU TO DEATH' nonsense that's perpetuated by people who get offers at bottom tier dumpster fire companies.

      Not true. Indeed Japan has pretty decent WLB at least for most teams

    Taxes will be higher in Japan, but arguably lower cost of living (maybe not significantly lower though). As a location, weather is better if you want seasons. city/country size there is more to do, but less language barrier in Singapore and better access to other parts of Asia if you like traveling.

    ITT: stereotypers assuming every company in Japan is bad. Japan is great, congrats on the offers. What level?
