Thanks

you clearly dont know risk (ERM? Insurance?!)... why would GIC not take risk seriously? the entire team is made up of really scholarly/ academically rooted people. it isnt only about doing a job, you need to be dead curious of the theories behind the work.

Anyone knows how the culture is like for corporate services (investment services, risk, legal teams?). Is it long hours, highly stress? Thanks. Mid career jump but jus started a family. Want to know the culture before deciding.

Thanks so much for sharing! Got any examples? I imagine government-linked to be a little more stable but seems like not.

I think GIC has a pretty good life balance for back office roles. This is my own perception haha maybe someone inside can give a better view.

Which BO function & level? And what is the salary range offered to you?

You might be better off asking in a temasek forum thread! Heard the culture in gic is better than in temasek.
