living in Singapore.

5k SGD is already a large amount but you also have to consider how big is your family and if that 5k would be enough to compensate board and lodging and other expenses. I think, companies offer health insurance and of course, the number of hours of your husband's work would be still be 8 to 9 hours. If you think he can't adjust to a rotating shift, then maybe, just let the opportunity pass since health is more important that making more money.

Good to hear that your husband got a job offer. Since you are from India, there shouldn't be any problem to adjust here. There are a lot of Indians here. By the way, what is that health ailment your husband is suffering from? If you have insurance, there is nothing to worry about if that ailment is covered. 5k is quite a good salary. A shift job is okay if not through out the night. Life is cool and calm in Singapore too. When it comes to food, you cannot expect to eat a 100% home food. Afterall, to gain something you need to give up something.Right?

I have been to Singapore twice now. It is a very fine city that I would jump at the chance of a job there. Shift work can suit some people but would your husband be happy doing this? I think it is a very orderly place and the people there are very friendly. It is a small place and so you and your husband could get to know it really well. I liked the national park where there are many monkeys. But feeding them is against the law. You could take excursions over to lovely Malaysia, it would just be a train ride away. You might like to take a boat over to Indonesia, it would be tempting to do so. The weather in Singapore is always hot so I think living there would be wonderful. Living overseas is memorable and interesting thing to do.

I am not sure whether it is a good condition to earn 5k in Singapore. As its living cost may be high. If you are young, it is not bad to have a try anyway. If you find Singapore isn't good enough to live, then later you can be easy to move in another better country.

Yes, I have friends in Singapore and they were saying that like most asian countries which have a lot of work pressure and work late culture... They were also complaining about the rising cost of living, food and housing there, so I can't say whether it will be a good move... But no matter what you choose, I hope its good...

Oh, nkhanna, congratulation! How attractive it is, singapore! If you were young, I think you should go ahead without fear. Your partner is fortunate for your love, of course, you should believe he also love you, and hope to give you good life. Firstly, you had better hear your hubby's idea, perhaps he more hope to go.
