As a result, I'm getting increasingly worried about being jobless in the future. Furthermore, there are lots of supply of accountants into the job market every year. On the other hand, the government also wants to transform Singapore into a "Leading Global Accountancy Hub". Will the job market for accountancy' turn out to be those hyped-up jobs that soon faded away (e.g. semiconductor engineers)?
Appreciate all replies. Thanks! |
MNCs are outsourcing finance functions to places like china, I personally know a few cases. So yes, there is a possibility unless you have specialization like corporate finance transaction execution.
