Hi all,
Recently, I have been awarded both
DSTA and STE local scholarships.
Even though both organisations may seem similar, they are quite drastically different in terms of roles and responsibilities. A
DSTA engineer's role mainly revolves around project management while an STE engineer's role consists of technical and engineering design work.
Personally, I would accept STE scholarship as I really enjoy what they are doing. However, a number of my friends encouraged me to accept
DSTA scholarship as it has a higher starting pay and better environment/culture as compared to STE.
Really hope any insiders/veterans can shed some light.
