hi ,

yes agree with your findings
indeed singaporeans engineering career or job is limited or getting limited
if u are too expensive to be hired, it give the overhead.
for indian/china workers, they are usually from a lower living standard and thus
they can opt for a lower income and replace the higher income engineer.
most employer or bosses feel that engineers are cheap these days , either
u work at this rate or they bring in indian/china/piony etc

i do not see any form of recovery in engineering field in singapore at all
and infact i feel it is shrinking rapidly. i am interested to find out what engineering fresh grad landing a job and how to sustain that job in the long run.

regards

My advise, migrate. just like our forefathers who come to SEA to escape the hardship in China. The process is the same just that today we are much more lucky than them due to technological advancement. Come to think of it, things go round in a circle hahaha

Rich singaporeans already starting to migrate to other countries like Aussie or New Zealand. Ordinary folks like us can either marry a foreign wife and use that as a way to migrate or invest in other countries (provided you got the money).

Anyway work hard, save some money, invest wisely, do some side businesses (I know same old advise) and get the FXXX out of here. Singapore is getting smelly each day. hahaha
