That's not bad. Your salary has grown almost 50% in just 4 years. Faster than mine for sure.

Your questions are too broad, because you will get positive answers from people who thrive in the civil service and likewise from those who thrive in the pte sector environment. Meaning you will be back to square one.

To get answers specific to your situation, you need to let readers here know what your preferences are, your character, your interest, ambition etc..

Below are some leading questions to help you:

1. Is earning big bucks more important to you than worklife balance and job stability?
2. Are you good / thrive in a rule based environment or one where you have more freedom but with more risks?
3. Do you like meeting with people?
4. Are you a political animal?
5. Can you handle long overseas assignment?
6. Do you prefer to be the customer (read civil service) or the contractor (read pte sector)?
7. Do you prefer to be the one coming up with rules than to be the ones having to meet them?

I come across many young people like yourself who do not know what they want, so they asked general questions leading to nowhere.

Thank you very much for your help! you are right. I really don't know what I want. kind of lost.

1. Is earning big bucks more important to you than worklife balance and job stability?
This is a tough choice! I guess I will choose earning big bucks!

2. Are you good / thrive in a rule based environment or one where you have more freedom but with more risks?
No idea abt this Q.

3. Do you like meeting with people?
Not really. Most of the time I feel awkward.

4. Are you a political animal?
No.

5. Can you handle long overseas assignment?
Yes.

6. Do you prefer to be the customer (read civil service) or the contractor (read pte sector)?
No preference.

7. Do you prefer to be the one coming up with rules than to be the ones having to meet them?
I will prefer to the one coming up with the rules.

Haha, your answers are normal/typical I guess - the kind of work and the environment you want or don't want will be clearer when you have a taste of them.

I will tag the employment environment to your answers below:

You want big bucks - go join the pte sector. Even govt linked companies pay much much better to their top performers/management than our top civil servant earn. Easy decision here.

2. Are you good / thrive in a rule based environment or one where you have more freedom but with more risks?
No idea abt this Q.
Eg. here would the uniformed service. There are more rules to adhere to, but pay is generally higher. The civil service also have a lot of rules to follow eg in contract awards, procurement processes etc..Some people like this kind of environment.


3. Do you like meeting with people?
Not really. Most of the time I feel awkward.
Hmm, this can be cultivated. But if you are really introverted, then civil service environment may be better for you.

4. Are you a political animal?
No.
Again civil service may have less of this.

5. Can you handle long overseas assignment?
Yes.
Both civil service and pte sector have opportunities.


6. Do you prefer to be the customer (read civil service) or the contractor (read pte sector)?
No preference.
Take it from me, the customer is always the better position.

7. Do you prefer to be the one coming up with rules than to be the ones having to meet them?
I will prefer to the one coming up with the rules.
To be the one laying down the rules, you would have to be in HQ or management position. But by and large, the civil service are the ones coming up with policies and guidelines.

Thank you for your reply!

Seems like ptd sector is better.

I will be specializing in power concentration in NTU EEE.
Do you have any ptd company to recommend?
