pardon my spelling mistakes btw...

to ts: is it TNS? nielsen? milward brown?

I wonder how many of the previous posters are familiar with the market research industry? Personally, I wouldn't accept the job offer because market research in singapore = long hours, low pay, lousy prospects, especially for agency side.

Since you have 2nd upper, why don't you go into civil service? If you do indeed accept the job in market research, my advice would be not to stay in agency side for too long. just get 1 or 2 year experience and jump to client side as soon as you can.
