Senior full-stack developers in SG earn 3.8x more than their peers in Indonesia.

Demand for talents tasked with maintaining and enhancing key products continues to be strong among companies in Singapore, keeping engineering function salaries high.

In Singapore, senior front-end developers earn 3.7x more than those in Indonesia and 2.5x more than those in Vietnam.

According to Glints and Monk’s Hill Ventures (MHV) report, the basic salary of senior front-end developers ranges from US7,4000-US$93,000.

Those in the junior and mid-level, meanwhile, have a base monthly salary ranging from US$3,400-US$4,600 and US$5,100-US$5,500, respectively.

Meanwhile, Glints and MHV said engineers in Singapore continue to earn the highest salaries compared to Indonesia and Vietnam.

"This reflects the presence of senior talent in the country and its higher cost of living compared to other markets," the report said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
