Top Earning Careers Abroad for Singaporeans in 2025

For many Singaporeans, the allure of life overseas goes beyond the postcard-perfect skyline of home. In a 2024 poll by Answers.sg, nearly two-thirds of respondents said they would prefer to live elsewhere, citing not only financial motivations but also the pace of life and better work-life balance abroad. Exactly how many people yearn for this kind of lifestyle change? According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, more than 340,000 Singaporeans were living abroad as of 2019. Fast forward to 2025, and official government data shows that 221,600 of them have kept their Singaporean citizenship while choosing to chase opportunity on foreign shores.

The Singaporean diaspora stretches across Malaysia, Australia, United Kingdom, United States, Indonesia, and China. These nations not only offer broader horizons but also access to some of the world’s most lucrative careers. Among these, technology, healthcare, and corporate leadership stand out as the new frontiers of wealth creation.

Take the Data Scientist, for instance. In an age defined by algorithms, these analytical minds transform raw information into strategic business intelligence. Their mastery of statistics, coding, and industry insight places them among the most sought-after professionals in the world, earning an average of U$123,775 (about S$160,723) annually in the United States.

Then there is the Corporate Lawyer. Armed with expertise in business law, mergers, and compliance, they guide multinational companies through complex regulatory landscapes. The payoff is an average annual income of U$149,686 (around S$194,369), proving that in the world of global commerce, legal fluency translates into financial fluency.

Tech continues to redefine the pay scale. Senior Software Engineers are the architects behind digital ecosystems, building platforms that power everything from banking to healthcare. Their technical expertise and leadership bring in an average salary of U$194,220 (about S$252,197) annually.

In the realm of medicine, few professions command the respect and remuneration of a Surgeon. These highly trained professionals perform intricate operations that save lives and advance medical innovation. Their years of education and precision are rewarded handsomely, with average earnings reaching U$297,851 (about S$386,763) per year.

On the frontier of mental health, Psychiatrists play a vital role in understanding the human mind in an increasingly complex world. With average earnings of U$255,812 (around S$332,175) a year, their expertise bridges science and empathy, making them indispensable in modern healthcare.

Meanwhile, Cloud Architects have become the new custodians of digital infrastructure. As companies move their operations to the cloud, these professionals design secure, scalable systems that keep enterprises running efficiently. Their technical command translates into average annual earnings of U$144,000 (about S$186,986).

At the summit of corporate ambition stands the Chief Executive Officer. The CEO is not merely an administrator but a visionary who shapes company strategy, navigates markets, and leads teams toward long-term growth. In the United States, this role commands an average annual salary of U$197,747 (about S$256,777).

The global market continues to reward those who combine skill, leadership, and adaptability. For Singaporeans seeking opportunities abroad, this moment marks not just a career move but a reinvention of success. Aligning expertise with high-demand industries can open doors to global achievement and financial growth, proving that Singaporean talent thrives wherever ambition leads.

Mofusand x Miniso Pop-Up Arrives in SG This December 15

Apart from POP MART’s Hacipupu and Disney’s Winnie the Pooh, my favorite character has always been Mofusand, the irresistibly charming creation of Japanese illustrator Juno. If you have ever smiled at a cat dressed as a shark or found yourself endlessly scrolling through kawaii art online, chances are you have already met this fluffy feline universe. Mofusand’s magic lies in its delightful absurdity, with cats wrapped like sushi, lounging in desserts, or striking dramatic poses in animal costumes. The name itself merges “mofu mofu,” a Japanese expression for something fluffy, with “sand” from sandwich, perfectly summing up the brand’s cozy and playful spirit.

Mofusand’s illustrations have captured hearts around the world for years, spreading across Instagram like a warm digital hug. Fans of kawaii culture and cat enthusiasts have embraced the brand as a cult favorite, filling their homes with plush toys, stationery, and accessories that reflect Juno’s humor and imagination.

Now, we are about to experience a piece of that whimsical world. The first Mofusand x Miniso pop-up store will officially open at Bugis+ (i.e., located at 201 Victoria Street, Singapore 188067) on December 15, 2025. This is not just another merchandise launch but the first Mofusand x Miniso pop-up in the world, giving Singaporeans an exclusive chance to explore and shop the viral collection before anyone else. Expect shelves lined with adorable plushies, playful homeware, and collectibles that are bound to melt hearts faster than a late-night cat video.

The pop-up offers an invitation for fans to step into the world of Mofusand itself. With picture-perfect installations and an atmosphere that feels lifted straight from an illustration, it promises to be a destination for both long-time followers and newcomers alike.
