Worth moving to SG to start a family?

@pointless.banter

Hello,

My personal advice would be:

- start to look for a job in Singapore from UK

- Don't resign from your jobs in UK before securing a job here

- Currently it's not easy for foreigners to find a job (except if you work in a field with shortage, employers have difficulties to find skilled and experienced local candidates). In my case I have been looking for a job for 9 months, and still haven't found anything yet (life science). I'm also French.

- Network, again network. Try to contact ( LinkedIn) recruiters, hiring managers, people working in the same field

- Check if there is a British chamber of commerce here

Sephora's advice above is very good.

I would like to add:

• AI is "In", so you can probably find a job.Your wife less so, as there is no major film industry here (and most jobs in the artsy community go by connections, which she does not have).
• It is very likely that your family income would be lower.
• Do not worry about becoming PR - that is many years from now, if at all.
• My personal opinion is that Singapore is not a place to have kids - it's an expensive "hobby" here (with high school fees and no support from the state) and the crowded city and society gives them litttle room to grow. The education system is good, but very stressful for the kids.

Thanks for your input both. Looks like choice is not as clear cut as we had imagined. Lot more thinking to do our end. Cheers!
