Hi all,
Saw the recent news and outlook on engineering career in Singapore. Feel that it is very hard to earn a living in the future.
I have been in the construction industry for 5.5 years as a mechanical engineer, from consultancy firms(start from 2.5K) to project development engineer in a plant.
I have a deg(no honors) from
NTU, Energy manager and project management certifications.
31 years old . Earning 3.58k /mth and around 3months bonus.
Current company has very good culture and comfortable environment but due to survival needs i am Looking to change job this year.
some possible ones are
-technical manager in a property services company($4K)
-Facilities engineer in jurong /tuas area plants ($4k to 5k, need to wake up damn early.)
-Continue in the building industry as consultant firm ($4K lousy bonus)
-govt sector( my deg cannot make it)
-others like oil and gas, marine(not much opportunity to get interviews)
can't see the light at the end of this dark tunnel.
Any advice/suggestions are welcome
