We decided to quit and went to places where tech MNCs are there. The pay is much better. So is life, work and experience. Although we miss life in Singapore. But sometimes you got to ditch the comfort for career.

If you want a career, you should quit Singapore for a while atleast particularly bcus RnD and IT are MEDIOCRE in Singapore. Take a bit of pain in life to move forward. Singapore is not going anywhere. But if you dont take pains, u will stuck into low paying jobs.

One should work where the work is valued. If you guys are young, you should not prioritize the easy life in Singapore.
how true. it's pretty hyped in schools. shud have known earlier before coming to sg.
