Nothing like asking those that actually work and live in that city state - www.reddit.com/r/singapore

Or search in that subreddit for "IT jobs" for previous discussions like https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/search?q=IT+jobs&restrict...

You'll get a better picture. Don't forget some of the most important questions can be: - How much to buy/rent a house or apartment - How much to buy a car (if you need one) - What about tax consequences coming from overseas

And what about things you might take for granted in the US like freedom of speech or other human rights?

or conversely not getting mugged on the street. Having lived in Singapore for a while there are trade-offs. I liked the feeling of safety I don't get in the west. I saw lots of fun times as well so to each their own.

The problem with Singapore is that it treats you like a real shit if you are not a citizen or a permanent resident.

Even if you are from a wealthy country it just makes your life there miserable.
