to TS, doing design in singapore doesnt pay exactly well unless you are one of the "unicorns". meaning multi-disciplined designers, and not just within different aspects within design (like industrial design, graphic design, uiux, interior, etc) but instead, cross-discipline like with background in computing science, mechanical engineering, psychology, business, etc. a "normal" design graduate earns about 2.8k to 3.5k, the earlier mentioned bunch brings in above 5k as a fresh grad.

need to constantly upgrade yourself, picking up new skills and getting certified for them is one way to go, the other is to take on freelance projects of different nature on the side to gain experience. speaking from experience here as someone who started my freelance practice in the design field for more than 10 years. Now I'm almost mid-30s, drawing around 10 from my full-time job in a senior role, not so active doing freelance anymore. jiayou.
