Im just looking at 3-5 years in after fresh grad, because right now im going private first as a fresh grad.
so right now im just keeping a lookout on good " SBs" to prepare myself for the relevant skills needed if i want to jump thats all. |
I admire that a youngster has the wisdom to plan a career path early on. However, if you are planning for the unpredictable future, may I suggest this question is too early?
upskill yourself accordingly. if you are in accounts, then take those ACCA, CAT, FIA, CFA & CIMA imp certs. If you are in engineering, there are project management certs..... hope you get my drift.
this is my sensing of how you analyse (maybe wrong)
1. target a good SB 2. target a department 3. find out what qualifications they value 4. now faster go take within 2-3 years
rather, I suggest you proceed this way.
1. be great in a field 2. get the important certs within 2-3 years 3. apply to a suitable SB
Many of my young friends aim to be a teacher.
In Singapore, the most sensible employer is
MOE. However,
MOE prefers people who studied a field - BSc Physics, Bsc Math, Ba English, .... bla bla bla. They love mid-career who are happy to take a pay cut. They don't expect people to study BA Education (Math) However, it does exist. Doing it this way (BA Ed Math) erodes the breadth of your options though.
let's say u don't believe in 996, then please steer clear of banks and tech companies. If you want quality time with family steer clear of retail, hospitality and medical.
if you want an idea of the culture of a SB, try glassssdoor. Glassssdoor at least organises the big data a lot better (to me) Glassssdoor you may have 100 reviews, here just 1 or 2...
