Hello all~
I am curious if we have any member here living or working in Singapore in the field of Info Security and related. I am thinking about moving there and would love to get some info.

TIA

    I did quite a bit of contract work there earlier in my career. It's a very different culture. I enjoyed it but every day is like DC in August.

    Just for the trip into the office, I needed to bring an extra t-shirt. I was there at several times of the year. Being 1 degree N, there's not a whole lot of variance. Very organized and disciplined place, just humid as all get out.

    It is hot and humid, you will most probably be taking public transport as cars are expensive but internet speeds here are fast. Some info at https://www.singaporeexpats.com/

    You can PM me.

    Thank you everyone...I was there a few times when I was in the service and definitely remember the humidity. But evening time was great strolling for street food.

    What is the best way to search for opportunities besides indeed? I have a MS in Cybersecurity and CISSP by end of the year....and currently working for a local gov't as an Infosec Analyst.

    I have been in Singapore for a few years, before that, the UK ans Oz.

    If you are keen to work here, I suggest you look at the Personalised Employment Pass. I came here under that initially then applied for my PR here.

    Personalised Employment Pass


    For job portals, you can look at:
    sg.jobsdb.com
    www.monster.com.sg

    Securing work without being in country and without a work permit will be difficult, though not impossible. Work / Life balance may not be as good as US/UK/Oz, though that does depend on the company. Quality of life outside work hours is pretty cool tho ;)

    Cheers.
