good choice maybe 3-4 years ago.
now? not so much, its overly saturated and the job market is hiring TALENTS or mid - senior devs, not average fresh grads.
so unless you're going into NUS / NTU , can get almost perfect GPA average and intern at FAANG for 2 semesters , dont bother.
when u come out u'll work at some garbage tech site pulling 3.2 to 4.6 k while your friends are all pulling 6-7k.
if ure from SIM , dont bother also lmao ask anyone working in large tech companies, ask them to check their slacks or teams or whatever messaging app they use . got anyone itro themselves saying "Hi I from SIM" ? nope, not a single one.
All NTU / NUS / SMU / SUTD / SIT.

Yea SIM grads have it a little tougher. I tried to refer my friend (studies some tech related degree in SIM, 1st class) directly to my boss but s/he wouldn’t even consider him for an internship not to say an interview.
My friend told me big O notation wasn’t taught in school and he doesn’t know any sorting algorithm by heart without googling them. He told me in his studies he just copy & paste can work can already. (O.O) At least I still see potential in him as he loves learning. Just that the gap can be a little big..

Wrong question. It should be, are you interested in computer science enough to make a living for the long term? And define what is 'good'? Ur good means....$$$? Prestige? Social standing? Fulfilling your life purpose?
Every degree is a good degree because they are there due to demand and supply forces in the SG market, and there will be exceptional talents in every field, even hawkers
I have an IT diploma and it is good but it is useless to me...

MNC for local uni grads, SME for private uni grads.
Hard truths.

yup 100%
dunno why people even bother with private unis for tech. waste money.
private uni for finance / business makes sense. those fields dont change that much... companies are quite lenient in hiring private uni students.
but for tech? 99% 0 chance, especially in Singapore. if in the US then maybe, since US have bootcamp people getting into FAANG with no CS degree but in Singapore? no such thing.
