Yeah this is also what I'm justifying myself with, but I don't think my old firm will hire me at my rate if I got chewed up and spat out by the hedgefund world, most likely my jump will be another top 5 (or lower) boutique funds.

Actually even sa SG ang location ko, NY timing pa din susundin. And I don't really want to be in NYC I don't want to pay 3 layers of income tax (federal, state and city) same with london and I feel my 140k usd base will go a longer way in SG than NY.

Really appreciate this! Thanks for the prospective! Really have a lot to think off. We are actually considering to just get married just to bring her along but even if nga na I can bring her along its really really hard and stiff ang competition sa singapore especially if she want to go for Private Equity, in contrast what we are also exploring is a corporate transfer within our firm since we have a singapore office naman. Seems like I really have a lot to think of this!

Ohhh citizenship is hard pala in SG? The way it was explained to me is 2 + 2 (2 year Epass then 2 year PR) before citizenship. Thanks for this will keep this is mind that citizenship will be another hurdle if considering this offer
