looking at Job there are multiple openings in Tunnel M&E Managers. in 2015, I was getting arround 6K SGD, working s an Sr Electrical engineer / Sr. M&E. and today I am standing here in 2025 they are barely offering more than 10K, inflammation is high room rent is higher now in Singapore arround 3 times than 2017.
I don't think it is worth to relocate again an Singapore with less than an 10K salary cause I am a family person now. what is your view on this ?
