After a short note about Singapore, we return to this topic in more detail. Alexander Stavonin - Senior Engineer at Motional, spent the last 6 years in Southeast Asia, in Singapore. How does life work in this city-state? Spoiler: according to our hero - great, but there are also ambiguous moments. Alexander has a rich experience of moving: he lived and worked in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Thailand, South Korea.
Why is a tiny country better than European cities? Are the ratings right , placing Singapore in the top 5 most expensive places to live? And how are interviews going at the Southeast Asia tech hub? Alexander tells.
Why Singapore?
