Sadly as of recent adjustments govtech is now paying the least in terms of starting pay compared to all the mindef defense agencies. So your comment within a span of a year is outdated again.

Both CSIT and DSTA are good for farmers.
For people who wants to chiong in their 20s/30s, should not stay long in these organisation. Recommended years are 2-3 years. Explore different places first and pick up the skills along the way. Then decide where you want to work for the rest of your late 30s to 50s.

Anyone here who applied for CSIT Data Scientist/Data Analyst FT?
Would like to know the application process and the experience thanks
