When these companies realize they don't need thousands of engineers, and start firing them, you'll end up with hundreds of thousands of engineers in the SEA market, maybe even millions, and like less than 1000 opening.
Median pay is dropping to 2500 SGD per month for fresh grads. Remember when Oil and gas was hot, finance was hot? Same cycle happening to tech. Welcome to reality people.
But all hope is not lost, 2.5k SGD per month can still survive, with rent, eat cup noodles and weekend do grab-food.

ahahaha classic Cool Story Bro. let me humour you for a sec.
the reason why oil&gas fell off is because of the underlying shift of mindset to favor green energy solutions. not because its a "cycle" that has to happen like the business cycle.
finance, particularly front office, is still hot rn so idk what point youre trying to make here.
s://.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/government-to-spend-s38b-in-ict-in-fy2022-80-of-contracts-open-to-smes , Singapore is committing more funds YoY to ICT spending to develop tech solutions and that is purely within the context of public service.
sure, maybe a few years down the road some new tech (developed by programmers btw) could render all programmers obsolete (LOL) but ok lets say this happens. then sure, we could see a burst like in O&G, but look at the news sources we have now. u mean to tell me the govt is gna reverse all of that spending and suddenly go the opposite way? after committing even more YoY?
from everything else you've typed, i gathered you put together some code for some hackathon or webapp or wtv but i can guarantee you've never shipped code LOL.
