@ OP, actually I think you can find interesting projects / things to learn about / zai people to learn from in this place in terms of software engineering. But must really go network around

Imo bad time to join faang now though with global trade war coming soon

Dpm already come out give warning liao. I'll take it seriously if I were u guys and hold on to my iron rice bowl

keep telling yourself that, i left DSTA for a 50% pay raise lmao

Why do E1-E3 keep receiving MAC but none for E4-E6?

Considering they are more capable and can work independently, are they not in demand in the market?

Please join DIS instead of DSTA. This place is less than meritocratic than the army.

E1-E3 receive MAC because they are paid alot lesser lol. Not like they increased it this year anyways.

Tbf E1-E3 are being paid extremely well.
I know of many E4 who are paid even lesser than their E3 colleagues, both salary and total package

Not sure about E6 but E4 and E5 are definitely underpaid for the level of responsibility they hold and amount of workload.

Thanks for sharing this—it’s really helpful to know the pay difference and how bonuses work! It’s interesting how much variation there is between roles like executive and engineer. On a side note, if you're ever helping with corporate gifts or events, you might want to check out custom pins in Singapore—they’re a nice way to build team identity or reward achievements!
