To answer your question, I was kind of left with no choice because I wanted to enter the R&D industry, but my grades were simply not good enough (GPA 2.8, graduated from 4yr engineering course without honours). The startup allowed me to get my foot through the door and to prove myself beyond my grades.

Well done man! This is what it means to grind and slog it out and now you are in a comfortable place only 5 years in. I really don't understand the trolls who come in here and expect everyone to be making BB FO salary as fresh grads when SG's median income is only around $4.5k.
I'm sure if you keep upskilling yourself you will only progress up. Good luck
