I guess now u in late 40s/ early 50s? Honestly is alrdy good in tech industry that at this age u still got a good paying job …
A lot of my Chinese friends working in big tech (not FAANG but Chinese tech ) are forced to resign after 35-40 unless u are the top performer and moving on to more managerial positions
Got to admit our bodies deteriorate and not suitable to work at high intensity after a certain age

160k is good enough. On hindsight you could have joined private sector. Being in govt sector for too long may not be to your advantage when you want to change role.
Age discrimination is real but there are definitely opportunites out there.
Don't give up and all the best

Tbh it's only in Singapore where our tech companies pay peanuts during yearly increments.
I don't get it. Some foreign banks in SG have 10% increments... wtf? Our tech salaries are the highest compared to other industries yet we get like 2-7% annual increments.
No wonder people job hop after 1-2 years lol, staying at the same company for more than 2 years is career suicide unless you work for Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.
