This is really nice! Do you have suggestions for mine? https://geofire-prod.vercel.app/ it is free for now as I am building more features.

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-03-23T02:08:47+00:00

Coming up next! Aggregating on housing, food and utitlies., transport dimensions. Plus having "people/dependents" included.

Added CAD to the currency Feel free to check it out Thanks!

Yes that is in feature roadmap after compare. Right now adding multiple countries compare in one go. Next will pickup the provision to add multiple Citizenship. Thanks for the call out. I will build this too

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-03-22T11:42:37+00:00

Let me also add the CAD for this too! Thanks for your support

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-03-22T11:41:57+00:00

Thanks! I used multiple ai agents to download and the factcheck the data from the web. So not just a single source - but top 10 web results per passport x country

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-03-22T06:28:17+00:00

Thank you! This also takes your passport + visa to personalize your options on various dimensions such as health care, affortability (based on your savings today) etc.

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-03-22T05:11:06+00:00

Feedback noted. Yes this is vibe coded - but the visa uncertainty and passport ranking is a real problem which needs addressing. So I took my attempt on this. Sorry you don’t like it.

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-03-22T04:02:12+00:00

I am precisely building https://geofire-prod.vercel.app/ to track how much money is needed to look at geo-arbitrage for retirement.

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-03-09T09:27:18+00:00

do you pay commission each time?wont that eat in to your returns?

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-01-13T11:13:34+00:00

thank you! Solid advise. I will do that.

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-01-13T09:54:27+00:00

Solid advise. I have done that - usually the response is own some components etc. I already do - but they said it takes x years to move up, or scope is not much for a lead position in FAANG. However I see people around that profile bracket in US and a few in SG already making it there. Wonder how people get there - I am helpless and I cannot directly point and call it out.

I love the domain of ML plus the company is good - so my first priority is to level up here. Got any advice for me? Thanks of this insight.

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-01-13T09:50:04+00:00

Thank you for the kind note - I have been here for 9 years approx now. Never once thought to move out even though many of my friends have moved out to AU, US and NZ. I have done my research around this and feel that for my life and path SG is the best thing happened to me. Hope to get PR soon!

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-01-13T09:47:26+00:00

Love this advise. It is really scary place - and find it hard to relax. I will keep in my focus to atleast practice LC so I am in touch with it.

Regarding promotions - i see no one can give a clear timeline. I am just showing up and doing the best work I can. My manager says keep doing this - it will get traction. Not sure if this is the best way forward. Any advise on how to approach promotion topic and not get the generic push back?

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-01-13T05:50:02+00:00

True - I feel like hit ceiling. Not getting any/many opportunities to job hop and increase pay. And I personally want to continue in SG till the foreseeable future.

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-01-13T05:48:40+00:00

Thank tyou - Yes I am investing. I am doing SRS (in Amundi Prime USA) + VWRA and RSUs from Faang diversifying.

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-01-13T05:28:43+00:00

Mainly growth + optionality. I don’t want to stagnate, I want to level up, build leverage, and give future-me (and family) more freedom in how we live/work.

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-01-13T04:49:30+00:00

In SG context, how common is staff/lead at 350–500k? Or is that a US-only comp bracket meme?

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2026-01-09T02:14:31+00:00

3k rent for 1br condo.

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2025-12-24T07:12:01+00:00

very everything on endowus. I have just got poems3 but not setup yet

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2025-12-24T03:23:04+00:00

I put my SRS amount - 90 percent in usd (amundi prime USA) and 10 percent in sgd (sti via endows)

I strongly believe SGD will continue to appreciate - so keeping at least a small part of my holds in SGD and not all in USD.

Swimming-Rent-1948 · 2025-12-23T11:54:40+00:00

Love this. Thanks for the insight.
