The entire civil service is very keen in going into analytics. But not all of them know what they are doing... some dunno what it takes to set up an analytics unit, some dunno why they want to set up an analytic unit, and some dont have the budget to do so.

If you are really interested in analytics, go for the healthcare authorities (HSA, MOH, etc). They are more clear on what they want and have more data avaliable for them to play with. Analytics in the healthcare field is also gaining alot of attention in the analytics community, so i think there is alot of potential in terms of developing ur analytics skills. BUT healthcare authorities generally don't pay as well.

If pay is a consideration, then just go to those with more budget.


Anyway, y r u onli considering govt? The playing field is much bigger in the private sector for analytics.
