The only SG salary data anyone bothered to verify

Most salary data is self-reported and quietly wrong. MyCareersFuture is the exception: under Singapore's Fair Consideration Framework, employers must advertise there before hiring foreigners — and the ad must state the salary. The numbers were reviewed as part of job-ad approval, which makes the portal the most reliable free source of verified Singapore compensation data.

This actor pages the portal's search API and returns normalised listings: title, company, min/max SGD salary, employment type, seniority, location and categories, deduplicated by job ID.

  "query": "software engineer",
  "minSalary": 6000,
  "maxItems": 100

Where it earns its keep

Comp benchmarking: build salary bands per role family from approved ads instead of forum anecdotes. Demand tracking: count open roles for a skill weekly and watch the trend. Recruiting prospecting: companies hiring repeatedly for your discipline are companies with budget. Career planning: compare pay across seniority levels with actual advertised numbers.

The honest limits: it reads current listings only — schedule recurring runs if you want a time series. And it is Singapore-specific by design; that is the point.
