a Brief MESSAGE FROM OUR EXPAT-IN-CHIEF

a brief MESSAGE FROM OUR EXPAT-IN-CHIEF
Would you trust a random stranger on Facebook for investment advice? Then why would you trust them for advice on moving to a country thousands of miles away. 

My name is Jason Parke, I’m originally from New York and have called Singapore home for over a decade. In that time I have worked for large MNCs and small local companies, opened a bagel restaurant and technology companies, leased and purchased condos and cars, become a Singapore Permanent Resident and so much, much more.

Researching your new home is important and it is always better to be overprepared, but remember to relax, be flexible, enjoy the ride and understand that things will work out just fine.

My expectation is that this guide helps to put your mind at ease that Singapore is a modern, efficient and enjoyable place to live and simply makes your experience settling in Singapore just a little bit easier.
Cheers,
Jason
