My experience tells me there are many Singaporeans out there who made the mistake of joining financial industry with the misconception of big pay even though they have no interest. They then got stuck in a job/industry that they have zero interest and worse still realize that banking pay isn't half as fantastic as they made it out to be.
In fact my observation is that most people in the civil service and stat boards are actually better paid on average over long term those working in banking support and operations jobs. The high paying banking jobs are really those directly involved with capital markets, UHNWI or specialized data/programming skills , these make up <5% of banking positions out there.

I see, ahh this is great and comforting to hear! Thanks so much
Do you have any advice for useful skills/modules I could pick up/take to make myself more employable? Am thinking of picking up basic coding in my own free time and in university, biz-related mods?
