GovTech

Agree, the biggest waste of space are the engagement and product managers are not technical, pass down **** to the coders, and get all the spotlight and attention from management.

Let me give my perspective..

What we are working on?
It's called Career Health project.

What are we doing on a daily basis?
Actually nothing much, just ideation and creating PPT slides and pitch to the higher management that our solutions will address the problem statements.

Do I enjoy working in Govtech?
Hell no. Everyone around you are the "high ranking" ones, and a mere senior SWE will be considered a low rank in the team and they will be slave to do all the work.

Wow this post finally seems legit. Can u describe a bit more on this career health

Is it new by your team or continued from somewhere else?
What stage is the project now?
Why did u decide to take up govtech offer? Was it much better?
Was the reason for leaving cause u dont enjoy working here?

Thank u so much for answering

This I kind of have to agree. BUT
Govtech is moving towards product management rather than project management ( if u guys noticed there's heavy emphasis and more courses on this)

I suspect our DBA title will be changed to product manager soon because we do really manage apps and services rather than business analysis

I feel you. Did the HR promised good chance of conversion?

Poor thing, have to bear the consequence for someone else's mess, better start to look for new jobs now

Things would be quite different if Ping Soon were still around

What the hack is happening with GT. One bad publicity following another. The SM must have seriously messed up. Someone from up there need to start taking responsibility for this shait

Yes. W were promised good chance after 1 or 2 years. Now say no headcount. We should make this public. How can there be such a thing in public service?
