Have to agree with Left Coaster. I'm an expat In the industry,working in 9V land. The winds of change are a blowing through the place, especially wrt to Europeans/Westerners. It is also now too expensive to live in with a family,... by the time you account for condo rental, Health/dental insurance, utilities,tax, education,........and you want a car.......Forget it. :-/
Do the homework, do the Maths ! Opportunities for the spouse to get employment and help with the income........forget it... "Why would we employ a Westerner in front of a Singaporean", is the commonly heard phrase.
Those expats that do well out here are in the finance industry, they work in western companies, ...that don't have Singaporeans at the top of the organigram.
I'm outta here.
