Hello antie jea, my husband and I will be soon moving to Singapore.. We will still be paying placement fees and all other utangs.. So if you could give us an idea on what kind of accomodation could we rent...
Hello, the cheapest one you can get is an hdb common room together with other pinoy housemates in one flat. If the location will not really matter to you guys, search for the areas in red line (northeast) like Marsiling, Sembawang, Woodlands or green line (east side) like Tampines, Simei. Other areas are really expensive. The normal range now for the common room is about $900-1300 per month excluding electricty, water, gas and internet. If you ever find a room lower than this and including pub then its really a good deal.
Hi Marion, personally if I am new in Singapore I would take at least $2500 for a start with at least 2 years of experience. However if you have more experience than that, you can demand for a higher one. Anyway, there is already a minimum wage set by the government. I suggest when HR asks you, you can tell them to follow that. Financial Sector is much higher compared to the rest of the sectors.
