DSTA (under Mindef)

Hi just wondering. Where can a DSTA employee go to after about 3-4 years inside DSTA?

2nd low from NTU EEE part time. With relevant work experience while studying.

Is it considered rude to check with the HR lady that have requested me to do the G50 whether I have failed the interview?

u may try, they are quite friendly and helpful. For my case, i was invited to NTU networking session last october, went for the interview and got the job offer around 8 days after the interview. Most of my friends got it within 2 weeks. We were asked to fill up the G50 after we signed the contract.

Uppzz anybody?

i don't think the skillset acquired at DSTA is very transferrable. maybe you can jump around public sector, but moving around anywhere else would be rather hard.

But i did a search on linkedin and most who do not earn CFA or financial certifications usually do a PMP and go down the project mgmt route. so idk..

Depends on which areas of engineering you are in. I was in the Building Infra team and went on to the private sector to manage private sector construction projects
