Most important thing is to learn. Find something you are good at and master it. The more you learn, the better prepared you are to negotiate for higher pay either in the same company or another company in the industry.
NEARLY one in four IT workers want to quit their jobs, according to a survey conducted by the Singapore Computer Society (SCS).

Around 23 per cent of respondents said they intend to leave the industry for a new career.

The poll also showed that younger workers, especially new entrants to the industry, have a stronger desire to leave it.

While the poll did not say why, The Straits Times spoke to 20 infocomm professionals - and reasons such as low prestige and a poor work-life balance came out tops.

To tell you the truth, many engineer want to go finance. The pay is extremely low here. MSM over hype it.

So it maybe better for you to take a biz degree in SIM or MDIS, or ACCA and go finance.
