How much did I earn as an office worker in Singapore and Japan? I decided to become completely transparent and share you my salary in both countries. As said in the video, my salary was significantly higher in Singapore but one of the reasons is that I had good experience in digital marketing and my age was 28. (I was only 26 in Japan)
What are some other differences in working in Japan vs Singapore? I compared job scope, working hour, amount of paid leaves and working culture etc. I’m just talking from MY experience – ultimately everything depends on your company, occupation and team.

Very honest comparison. I have always wanted to work in Japan but never had an opportunity. And I've always wondered what I've missed.
Dont work hard…but work smart…

4800 my IT colleague get 7800
Hey, just wanna point out that Ghib mixed up workman and non-workman with each other. Workman = "blue collared" work such as construction worker. So their benchmark is at 4.5K. Non workman = "white collared" work such as office worker, you deal with papers etc. Their benchmark is 2.6K.
Hi. You've probably got an expat package, but of course not those crazy-pay angmoh expat package.. Avg Singaporeans may not get as much pay or benefits? That's life. Thanks for being transparent
This video is very educational and most of it are right.
My personal opinion is that if working as an expat where your company pay for the rent, healthcare, and give allowance for living expense, I will choose SG.
If working normally for non rich normal people, JP offers more equality and quality. Biggest for me is the healthcare, everyone covered same way rich or poor, local or foreigner without upper limit.
Second is the rent, sharing apartment here in JP is very rare, rent is a lot cheaper in JP (e,g, one bedroom in SG is 2000$ above, in Tokyo around 1000$ suburbs 500$. )
However hardest part here in JP is the language requirements. Most companies will not accept non JP speaking people.
Your ex colleages in japan must be jealous. 🥰
annual leave is subjective because of public holidays in different countries and plan that along with mc " cough cough" its somewhat negligible
Thanks for the crash course 😁😁
How much you made from creating this video channel? May I ask, if you feel uncomfortable I can understand.
you dont have income tax?-15%
I press Like button because "I ever done that" LOL…hahaha
Hi thought of clarifying that workman isn't referring to white collar worker. It is still referring to workers who take on manual work. Overtime pay for white collar workers is only eligible to those drawing below 2.6k

You forgot to mention we are also given 60days hospital leave.
It's my 10th year in Japan, and I'm thinking about finding work somewhere else. Singapore is very attractive to me. Taking the leap is scary when you don't know what's waiting for you but your video i very informative and helps me a lot! Thank you! 🙏
So brother which country is.more good and more selary and seafty. Japan vs Singapore
There are also many industries that do long hours and 24/7 too in Spore. My colleagues and I used to start work at 7am and clock out at 8:30pm-10pm from Mon to Sat and Sun either half day or full day depending on your work. Not forgetting I had to bring home my work too to keep abreast of the work. That took 35 years of my life. Leave taking was minimal and we easily accumulate from 40-70 days and more for some until HR came out with ruling. Initially we could exchange for cash but later had to use up the annual leave within 2 yrs or lose it.
Japanese salaries it seems to be really poor. I think in mist developed countries earning $22000, you wouldn't be taxed. In Japan you were earning less than minimum wage (compared to UK, Germany, Australia) and definitely less tan minimum wage
