Sure, some locals look down on overseas uni grads too, but at least with that degree, I have been able to land jobs in both the public and private sector without issue.
The world is such a harsh and biased place. Sometimes it's just down to how lucky you are rather than how good you actually are.
That said, I know at least 3 friends who went to SIM/SIM UOL who are earning a lot more than myself, with high positions in their companies. Ironically, one of them said he wouldn't hire a SIM grad himself. Even though it seems like most of them don't do well in the working world, it would still be wrong to assume that 100% of SIM grads are useless.

"Sure, some locals look down on overseas uni grads too" - lol no. anyone with half a brain knows that overseas unis are expensive af and are regarded highly in those overseas countries. its like saying if some foreigner went to
NTU /
NUS and goes back home , people back home will look down on
NTU /
NUS. does that make any sense to you?
"That said, I know at least 3 friends who went to SIM/SIM UOL who are earning a lot more than myself, with high positions in their companies." - pointless anecdotal evidence. if we go out of context and talk about the top 1%ers, why even bother counter-arguing in the first place.
the context here is that TS is a soon to be SIM graduate with no internship and no relevant experiences. doesnt matter if ur friend did this or that, we're not talking about ur friend here...
