Offered Singapore role

[Puggit]

My company have just given me the choice of heading up a fledgling team in EMEA (based in UK) or starting the equivalent team up in APAC out of Singapore. As a startup company I'm assuming there would be little to no relocation package.

Would a package of 200k SGD be enough for a family of 4, including schools? I assume a car wouldn't be necessary, so that helps. A quick look at a SG tax calculator shows I'd be paying approx 10% tax on that, which obviously helps!

Thanks all - we've also spoken to some friends on ex-pat packages around the world. Sadly as it's a young startup I'd need to be doing the lifting and shifting of the family mostly on my own back, so it's a no-go.

As it's a step up to management which is new for me and a new territory I think it's probably safer also to take the EMEA role. It's a shame, as it would be a wonderful opportunity I'd like to take.
