I applied but did not get through and from my application experience, they’re looking for applicants who have taken active steps toward cybersecurity like a degree, understanding of Singapore’s cyber landscape and understanding of the different roles in cybersecurity.

My friend just threw his resume and didn’t hear back at all. It’s not a traineeship, it’s a full-time job plus shitload of learning opportunities thrown in. It’s literally a fast pass into cybersecurity so I’d imagine they don’t just allow any Tom dick harry in.

No offence to any tom dick or harry here ps

All scholars and high flyers here

Taking active steps vs having experience is different?

is it possible for me to get into CSDP?

i have CPSA + CRT, OSCP, OSCE3, and some cloud cert. I am looking to join the pentesting team but heard it is very competitive

Is anyone selected for interview?

Bruh.. are you kidding me? OSC3 and you still apply for CSDP ??

Give others who want to move into cybersecurity a chance man...

With your credentials, you can easily find a job that gives you a better salary ...

Can anyone share what is the experience of joining CSA like from the private sector? Assuming it is an exprienced hire with 7+ years experience? And can CSA generally match private sector pay?

Just have someone inside pushing for you. Got rumour that one officer left CSA for the private sector and came back 2 / 3 years later with triple promotion because hiring officer and him were good friends. Wonder if this r/s was declared to HR during the hiring process. If no declaration made, not very transparent imo.

Which division is this??? Any idea who the hiring officer is? This is bordering corruption and nepotism.

Rumor? You can tipoff the HR then they can investigate.
But will be hard to prove. If you are the hiring manager, will you hire someone because you are friends? Most managers worth their salt will not. You hire someone so that the person can help the team, if can be friends then that is bonus.
