Yes, she is the best boss.

adrian ong won't be remembered for his job title

he will only be remembered for heading a department that boasts an incredibly high turnover

Just went for IMDA open house today

was not impressed, feel like they only there to give out free gift

when I ask them in person for any intimate job opportunity, they ask go linkedin and see job ads

LOL then what the point I come down personally...?

Many comments on this forum on abuse. It's also a poor performing dept that does WSG kind of work. The "training" you get will set you back when you go into the real world.

It's the department that created (erhem with the help of consultants) the skills frame work which doesn't even have a cloud engineer role in it. When asked, they just tell people to refer to the infra section which is basically on prem and not cloud.

any insights on salary range for IMDA Manager role?

But IMDA is the butt of most jokes in the tech industry, no doubt about that.

They think they are well-liked for giving out grants. Industry is just taking the free money and laughing behind their backs.

Couldn't agree more.

Anyway is it an expectation in IMDA to be working past office hours including while on leave? Very serious problem here.
