That’s too much I agree.

On eurotoptechjobs.com (where I have more uptodate data), it says 107k usd.

Assuming 235k$ total comp for seniors in big tech

Ive been in singapore for more than 5+ years. No doubt Singapore is a great place to live and work. But This is exactly right what you mentioned, for example immigration or getting work visa is harder for anyone even with skills, as they introduced point based system, you have to meet those points. So it depends case by case.

Actually I meant to say the opposite: I thought getting visa there would be easier than getting it in Europe or the US (for Indians, for example).
