Salary.sg Forums

That's my biggest issue with working in Govtech.

Pay is decent, but many days I wonder what the f am I working towards. This useless internal platform that nobody really cares about but everyone is just drinking the Kool aid that "this tool is amazing!".

LOL same. sometimes i also wonder like where this money coming from?

projects easily range from hundred of thousands to millions in my experience.

Yes! And they really love hiring juniors. Like dude, there's a time and place for juniors, definitely not when our MVP is barely up.

Then again, govt is loaded lol

Some project managers budget too much cost and money has to be spent and thus the need of hiring new people to use the surplus….

Hearsay impending pay revision is coming.. any truth in that?

Thinking whether to wait for that or jump ship now.
