Garena this kind of fast growth tech company in a frivolous consumer industry (gaming) may be attractive to youngsters as a "hip" and "fun" place. But who knows if they're gonna be bought, sold, restructured, organizational shake-up etc within the next 5 years? This kind of fast moving companies don't last super long in their current form. OP may be restructured out of a job

Whereas OCBC, you can be assured they'll be around as long as Singapore is around.
Yes, I am 33 this year and planning to start family next year if all goes well. OCBC seems more "stable" to me though I am also keen on the young and vibrant aspects of Garena which will allow me to really learn much as well. The problem is that Glassdoor still rates Garena way higher than OCBC not just in terms of culture but also work-life balance etc.
