This is the norms, i guess.

My advice for grads is to look past the work life balance aspect first when they are still young. Once you are in your 30s, when you have life commitments like marriage and kids... then i believe it will be a better time to reevaluate your work hours. Focus on building your IT knowldge and build a certain level of competencies first and foremost.

Not trying to discourage, foul or anything, hope you set your expectations right.
simi lj is this ******** advice?

IT companies are literally the only ones who will give u the best WLB with a ton of WFH opportunities, tell me another industry that gives u this, there's none

biggest problem with SG in general is when morons who dont know anything try and give some lj advice and immediately assume that everyone wants kids and get married when gen-z and millennials marriage statistics have dipped severely compared to boomers.

dumb fk
