Example like discord is just a very simple concept. They build it. Make it popular.
Now Microsoft want to buy it. Billions.

The founder will become millionaires.

That's the tech dream. But non of Singaporean top talent has this skill.
Just slave for company that's all

Not sure why you are going on and on about entrepreneurship and "comp science slaves" when my original response is just to provide an alternative viewpoint on whether someone without CS background can have a successful career in CS.

No. Don't pick programming.
It's a slave job.
Low pay.
You can't keep doing it.
Your brain will slow down the older you get.

Management on the other hand you get better the older you get.
So go into project management.

It is true if you work on traditional business with old tech. If you go for big tech or unicorns, technical skills are way more appreciated than merely PM. You can hire 5 year old to be a PM, and it is not hard to find one. But to find someone who can build your product ground up, with good scalability and reliability is way more valuable for a product company. Advice from boomers lol.

Bro it is damn hard to be a real Fang solid technical skills.
But damn easy to be consultant, use mouth Nia.

What kind of technical skills a ceo has¿
None.


The best jobs in Singapore are always real estate agents, insurance agents, relationship managers.
Basically u sell things.and get commissions
Little education needed

I m not saying technical skills not important
But I’m saying society don’t value Technical skills
In terms of pay per unit effort, programming is not worth it.

So many real estate/insurance/ agents and RMs, those you see are really those who made it/survived through these cut-throat industries.

'Middleman' jobs like you mentioned above will get disruption heavily by technology. As millennials are going to replace older generations, people will get more familiar with the technology. You might think it will take decades, but it is closer than you think. China is a good example of how payments and insurance businesses are getting disrupted in less than 10 years. Real Estate Agents will get disrupted as well.

Just be CEO la.
Like Genting Singapore chairman pay doubled to 21.25 million in a year where tourism stopped and no business. Same thing as those bank ceo. Bank lose money etc. Retrenchment but the ceo pay in the millions.

See a ceo tekan a ceo.
Ceo is the most disgusting job.
You'll say they are the reason why rhe company grow and jobs are created.

******** you seen on this covid. Those hotel staff etc retrenched.
But ceo pay can double to 21.25 million.

Cut staff who earning like 2.5k so that the company can give 21 million to a ****ing chairman.

but have you considered the possibilities of these jobs being automated in the future? if cars can drive themselves, how unlikely is it for insurances and real estates to sell themselves? and when that happens, even you have the glibbest of tongues, there won't be an opportunity for you to pitch.
