the threadstarter already said "market research".

Although DSA starting pay a bit higher, I think its better to join a reputable consultancy firm for research. My sis started out in Aon as an analyst doing pension research and was promoted every 2 years. Recently just joined Chartis as a Director and she’s only 29.

A research exec may be referring to a job as simple as one of those people you see at mrt stations asking commuters to do surveys.

Fresh grad able to enter astar should have pretty good results. If interested in tech research type jobs might as well go for dso. ~3.9k for 1st class fresh.

If you work a few years in a good lab and get a 2nd authorship in a research paper, you can use that to get funding to do PhD in a western country. With a branded PhD you can either choose to stay in research and become the head of a lab (10k+) or join a drug company (10-20k). Better to come back to Singapore once you get your PhD as easier to move up compared to in ang moh countries.

My advise is don't be swayed by the money. At least not at this stage in your life. 1.3k might seem huge to you now but you will regret later in life when you dread going to work every morning to a job you hate. By then it would be too late to turn back.
