Moving to Singapore for job
Hi, I would like to know what salary range can I expect if I am looking to move to Singapore for tech job for few years? How much will I be able to save? Would love to hear from people on this..

Singapore is expensive, doubly so if you have kids because you will have to send them to private/international school as an expat.
You can check numbeo for the cost of living and adjust parameters for your lifestyle. It is quite accurate.
Another thing that you will run into is that Singapore puts you at a disadvantage in the job market as an expat. There's an unwritten rule that every company should not have more than x% of expats employed.
Google doesn't even allow internal mobility to Singapore easily for this reason.
And how is the job scenario after higher studies in Singapore? Is there concept of campus placement in the Singapore univ or same situation even after masters from there?

Yes, they have campus placements. But the rules for employment remain the same. You will have much lesser opportunities as a non-PR/non-citizen. What's even worse is that the chances to get a PR are extremely low even after many years compared to many other countries.
