I undersand that the latter two have froze some hirings and even rescinded offers.
Also, which among the 3 can i get the highest salary and still have a stable amount of work life balance? |
Are you a final year student? Isn't the hiring cycle for the aforementioned companies over already? If you haven't found a job yet, maybe you should consider SGUnited Traineeships instead.
But my 2 cents: In this climate, the jobs which offer the best mix of stability and pay are government jobs.
MAS,
EDB,
MTI are excellent choices. Local banks are safe since they pledged not to fire anyone locally and are increasing graduate hires during this time (DBS). Big 4 is generally safe but given that they are rescinding offers globally (including Singapore), it might not offer the stability and pay that is desirable in this climate.
