now? not so much, its overly saturated and the job market is hiring TALENTS or mid - senior devs, not average fresh grads.

so unless you're going into NUS / NTU , can get almost perfect GPA average and intern at FAANG for 2 semesters , dont bother.

when u come out u'll work at some garbage tech site pulling 3.2 to 4.6 k while your friends are all pulling 6-7k.

if ure from SIM , dont bother also lmao ask anyone working in large tech companies, ask them to check their slacks or teams or whatever messaging app they use . got anyone itro themselves saying "Hi I from SIM" ? nope, not a single one.

All NTU / NUS / SMU / SUTD / SIT.
Yea SIM grads have it a little tougher. I tried to refer my friend (studies some tech related degree in SIM, 1st class) directly to my boss but s/he wouldn’t even consider him for an internship not to say an interview.

My friend told me big O notation wasn’t taught in school and he doesn’t know any sorting algorithm by heart without googling them. He told me in his studies he just copy & paste can work can already. (O.O) At least I still see potential in him as he loves learning. Just that the gap can be a little big..
