Career progression of a DSTA Overseas Scholar?
Hello guys,
I am thinking of whether to take up the DSTA scholarship to study Computer Science at University of Michigan, or remain in NUS without a scholarship. I am leaning towards DSO which is generally the more technical/R&D organization between DSO and DSTA and I am fine with the work they do (not super excited, but don't dislike it either). How is the career (and salary) progression of a DSTA scholar in DSTA/DSO? Do they receive preferential treatment like many other gvt scholars? Also, if I decide to seek greener pastures after the bond, will my skills be transferable to the private sector? Any other advice is welcome :) |

You can always leave and join DSO after you complete your bond with DSTA. |

It comes down to whether you want to be bonded, I personally wouldn't as your interest might change after 4 years in uni. Skills wise, it's hard to say if it's transferrable since it depends on where you are heading to after DSTA.

I should clarify that as a DSTA Scholar I can choose to work in DSTA, DSO or CSIT

When you're 40 yo and management considering to promote you to be director..
They will look at your resume and your colleagues resume.. Your dsta scholar will set you apart. Even if you don't work with dsta anymore. |
