5000 SGD is enough for expat(Single) who has 6 years experience into I.T ?
I don't drink(Alcohol)/ i don't smoke.
Only Vegetarian.

1) How much would be the Room rent(Sharing).
2) How about the TAX ?
3) How much would it cost for Meal(Daily*2 times) ?
4) How about the Public Transportation cost ? Is that expensive ?
5) If i agree with this offer an join, within a short span of time if i get another job with better pay then can i change my job with out any issues ?

NOTE-
Please do suggest me as I am a non smoker, non-drinker and only vegetarian. I live just a very normal life like Office - Room vice versa. Just travel to nearby places if i have free time. I play badminton as well.

Earlier response would be highly appreciated.

Please take some time to read existing threads on this forum and elsewhere - all your questions have already ben discussed in detail.
In short: S$5000 is enough for a rasonable (but not luxurious) lifestyle for a single person.
Whether it is a good salary fo your background and whether you can get a work visa with it is, however, a completely different topic (also often discussed on the forum).,

@beppi,
Thanks for your swift response.

I have read the existing topics in the forum and noticed that the posted/discussed dates were about 2-3 years old. So as there might be lot of changes happening, Could you please help me out.

Thank you.

Late last year, I had provided in details. And, in Singapore it doesn’t change much for a single person.

About your salary with 6yrs exp in IT won’t give any details to judge. IT has multiple domains, all domains and job scopes are not same salary ranges. You can google it about salary in the market for your range.
