For govt sector, should be the usual for tech roles such as DSO, MINDEF, CSA, GovTech, etc...

For pte sector, you can apply for what fits your past exp (Big 4, Accenture, tech companies, MNC, GLC)

Can I have advice on this too? I got an offer for senior procurement executive and I am graduating with a degree in Environmental Studies. Do you all think that this job will be relevant? Thanks!!

Many DSTA procurement people eventually move to other civil service/stat boards as well, where they are apparently highly sought after, as DSTA has been designated as the Centre of Excellence for Public Sector Procurement.

Do note that workload may be high and learning curve can be steep.

All the best!
