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.
I second this. I was offered a local bank MA programme (which I accepted). Starting pay 4.2k. My friend was offered MAS and he told me his starting pay is 4.5k. Either way, both are above median and relatively stable. Best of luck!
