From my interactions with Gen Z, they are much less inclined to go through this “sacrifice”.

28 is already considered “old” to them.

The CNA article does say they are not a strawberry generation and are in fact a force to be reckoned with. I'm not a gen Z but i do agree with this assessment given that they are more vocal and passionate about things that matter to them.

No no no we are talking about the next generation already.

Strawberry is my time, 1980s to early 1990s. This batch, still sort of ok with B4 culture.

Now is about the 零零后 already. What they want in life is very different from what we 30s and 40s think about, and even further from the boomers.

literally a dumping ground for all the losers, drop outs and trash degree holders who cant make it in their field. tell me, all these "social media stories", check their linkedin, i guarantee u, 9/10 wont have degree and plateaued at diploma level with some stupid irrelevant course

viable career my ass lmao literally dependent on people buying ur bullshet insurance. what a joke.

wait till u start getting msgs from "old" friends going

"hey long time no see! :) :) btw can we meet for a while?"

cb

Why? I think it is a lucrative career. Imagine I am able to sell ILPs to 30 customers in one year with annual premium of 7k/mth, that means i will be raking a total of $105k in commission income (30 x 7k x 50%) in just first year. Adding my base pay for first year to be 30k a year (2.5k/mth), i will be making 135k/year (or 11.25k/mth) without bonuses.

With such income, my pay is better than a fresh grad BB IB Analyst, SWE in FAANG companies, Consultants in MBB firms and Big 4 SM pay?

Money in money out, good luck to them man.

Though i agree with you that the gen z's seem to prefer instant gratification and perhaps lack financial knowledge in terms of saving/investments, they are a group that are much more savvy than the boomers and gen x. They learn so much faster in this digital age and its a strong plus for them with respect to this. I mean look at how good they are with crypto and NFTs.

BS hahaha.. they dont know the technical stuff man. They only know the name and join the bandwagon. Ask them to code, they will run first and prefer the admin or sai kang role.

Must aim for higher pay else cannot afford to get married. Big4 career not suitable for the genZ. Not forgetting must build up cpf so that no need to work at senior age.
