Disagree with this statement about HR grooming unheard of.
There are a lot of hi-po programs in global MNCs that groom HR professionals for the fast track. Such programs usually advertised as Management Associates or Graduate Trainee programs without specifying which function to retain flexibility for deployment, but HR gets its fair share of these hi-pos.
But agree that competition super tough, regualr run of the mill local grads have little chance, pte uni no chance at all.

i'm a fresh grad a few months into my first proper job in a com&ben consulting firm. drawing in the 3s and job scope basically entails working with spreadsheets and slides the whole day.

Friendly piece of advice as someone with exp in career development: either ask your company to allow you to present to clients autonomously or join another consultancy that gives you that opportunity. Nobody gets anywhere in hr/consultancy by just doing excel & powerpoint whole day. My first job in consultancy I was already engaging clients in my 2nd week.
