Newbie (still here in) SG - need Advice

[-sillybilly-]

Thanks for replying bornatbirth and sillybilly
Yeah, paying for flights, paper works, 1 mo accommodation ( while looking for my place), relocation expense (movers & all) + some cash allowance.
I'll be doing the same thing, just changing office location from sg to glasgow.
My dilemma is, m quite not sure of the adjustmnt in the salary. The offered 40k/yr. If i am to deduct the UK tax and nat insurane, it will be almost the same as what im receiving here in SG( net of tax).
Im very excited to work and live in the UK. But as you probably already know, Singapore is a 1st world city(1st in Asia and 28th in the world's most liveable city).almost zero crime rate and very near Manila. Glasgow in the other hand... I honestly dont know, but I'm not liking what I've been reading about the city.
So, is it really worth the switch?
Anyone living the office life in Glasgow?

Glasgow is in Europe and Singapore is in Asia

Living in the UK is very expensive but it is a privilege for you to live in the UK for work. People are dying and would love to kiss as soon as they step on the ground in the UK.

But actually life in the UK is pretty difficult, you have to pay double for everything, bits by bits. Have you heard about having a tv licence and yes you have to pay, the house rent, separate from the council tax, your tv cable, electricity, water, gas, food, car, road tax, car insurance, life insurance....and much more!

But mind you a lot of people survive!
Thats just a few of the bills that you have to deduct from your wages.

But its entirely up to you my love.

its not that bad

you will be earning 40k and you will be well off, are there plans for your husband to work?

i would stay in singapore if i was you, unless you have a reason for coming to the uk as you already put a very good case to stay there
