Hello,
afaik pharma grade work at hospital/clinic/pharmacies dispensary, some make it to the big pharm manufacturing firms like GSK, novartis & MSD (do note tho that it is very competitive to get into these MNCs because frankly speaking they’d consider chem eng and pharmaceutical science grads for their slightly more relevant technical skills as well).
MOH and
HSA do hire pharma grads as well (but then again, they hire from any disciplines too..) This is what I know from my pharma friends, but perhaps there are others who are more informed about this.
Chem Engineers definitely have a wider array of career choices - oil & gas, chemicals, pharm manufacturing, fmcg (lab/analyst), semicon, shipping... There are also a handful who do make it into finance/IT but they are really only a small % of the entire cohort.
