Pay-wise, you can try asking on threads e.g. DXO, DSTA etc depending on which agencies that you're targeting.
Thanks for replying. ermmm, seems like I dont have many choices.. i have bad impression of DSTA, salary so so yet stress lvl so high.

Thanks, currently doing internship in sembcorp. I will try to apply EMA internship next year.

just a general Q, Civil sector vs private sector. which is better?

Feel very lost, i still have 2 years to decide on my career path even though I'm on track for 1st class honour in NTU EEE. Engineering field offer low starting salary and most ppl struck at 5k. most of my frens recommend me to sign on if I manage to get a 1st class/2nd upper, since the starting salary is alr 5.1k, kind of attractive with all the backpay of roughly $40k.

Can give me some words of advice? Thank you. really appreciate ur help and time. cheers
