-i usually dont call anybody a doctor, but i expect them to have 4-5 years training, not some mid-career conversion program
I fully understand looking like a half baked SWE even with the certs from the VTTP program. Is it recommended that I go back to uni for this, even if it takes private A Levels?

From what I know, VTTP has a low (almost null) conversion rate. Is it therefore still worth it even if I do not convert? Going VTTP would opportunity cost my ability to participate in AISG even though it is likely easier for me.

I haven't researched DBS seed extensively but don't I need to be a recent grad with 2y or less of working exp? Even if it doesn't use the same IMDA grant, would doing VTTP exclude me by way of more work exp since I have done the traineeship at visa?
