සිංගප්පූරුව ‍🇸🇬 | Living in Singapore as a Sri Lankan Software Engineer | Work, Life & Culture | Ep. 7

In this episode , we dive into what life is really like for a Sri Lankan software engineer living and working in Singapore. From the initial move and job search to navigating public transport, and Singpass, we explore the full journey of adapting to life in this fast-paced city-state. We talk about our first impressions, settling into local neighborhoods, and what makes Singapore unique compared to other places.We also unpack the cultural experience — from tasting iconic hawker food to learning Singlish, celebrating local festivals, and staying connected to the Sri Lankan community abroad. Beyond everyday life, we explore the work culture, team diversity, tech upskilling opportunities, and whether Singapore offers long-term career security and growth in the software industry.For those considering settling down here, we dive into whether expats feel truly integrated or still like outsiders. We share honest reflections on homesickness, personal growth, and what it means to call Singapore "home" after years of living here. And for anyone thinking about making the move, we wrap up with practical tips and lessons learned the hard way.This is a heartfelt, insightful conversation for anyone curious about expat life in Singapore — especially fellow Sri Lankans in tech. Join us for stories, advice, and a bit of fun as we reflect on life between two worlds.🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon for more inspiring stories from around the world!🎧 Also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & all major platforms.Host: Nilanga VirajithGuest: Asen De SilvaFollow us on:Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-borders/id1829070342Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7MaDiIre0WOig196CrcpLX?si=z7FRGocFR_6ZryUbQFSJVATikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@beyond.borders.slInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyond.borders.slFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/beyondborders.podcast.slFollow Nilanga on:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nilanga.virajithFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/nilanga.virajithTwitter - https://x.com/nilangaVLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nilangav#BeyondBordersPodcast #SriLankansAbroad #LifeInSingapore #ExpatLifeSG #SingaporeTechLife #SriLankanEngineers #SingaporePR #SoftwareEngineerLife #LivingAbroad #Singlish #HawkerFood #SingaporePodcast #AsiaMigration #SriLankaToSingapore #LifeAsAnExpat #SriLankanCommunity
