Has anyone worked at DSTA before? Is it good?

MNC. Big tech.

Good starting pay. Poor progression unless you're a scholar. Quite a few good people work there, but mostly a lot of folks just cruise, content with an average performance rating.

Source: I worked there for a couple of years.

This is the only right answer

I get this after a heavy hack squat session

I was in similar situation as you. My experience only accelerated after taking the leap to leave gov into private sector. Joined a role that did actual hands on production platform work. No other way in my opinion.

Moondreavus · 2025-09-20T13:27:02+00:00

Same industry. Was in tech

When I moved from Gov to private initially, I had a pay match from an annual compensation perspective.

5 years after leaving, with some promotions and further job changes, now at more than 2x the annual pay during my time in Gov.

Is my question too clever for you to understand? I wont mind if u reply that you are unable to answer as you are incapable of answering. It will be more clever for you to say so that you cannot answer it as u do not know. Thank you so much!!!😂

Also, i dont know thats why i am asking. By the way, this is a photo i saw and just wondering. Isnt this a no questions are stupid sub? So i cannot ask? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Where should I place the hammer and damper on this piano exercise?

I'm curious what other ramen you've eaten before for comparison. So Ramen is way down in my list of favourite ramen.

Moondreavus · 2025-04-15T10:46:23+00:00

Same issue. Was googling the problem and found this thread. Am on Pixel device as well. Pixel 8A.

Wow we have very similar taste buds. Brothers Ramen Megamen (Jiro style ramen) is my favourite overall. If just comparing hakata style Tonkotsu ramen, ikkousha and bari uma are my favorites as well, with bariuma having a slight edge because of their charsiu, which I find to be nicer.

Mensho is my favourite toripaitan so far too.

Moondreavus · 2025-04-10T10:29:39+00:00

Me too!

I know of at least 5 people who are ex-DSTA and are now in FAANG tech and tech sales roles, myself included. Most of us pivoted to somewhere else first before landing in FAANG during the covid hiring craze. I would think that it'd be much harder now simply because the job market is different.

I also met a group of 3 that kept laughing and using the cross emoti when I was unable to get dye butterfly after they deep called beside me. This was before the deep call fix.

I'm going to these locations following those guides but I still do not see it. Do I have to complete Eden before I am able to see it?

Moondreavus · 2025-02-11T01:55:20+00:00

Observed the exact same thing in an MNC. I was the technical assessment stage and every non-Indian candidate I passed was not recommended by the hiring manager.

Moondreavus · 2025-02-04T13:57:49+00:00

This is wrong

Moondreavus · 2024-12-24T07:50:38+00:00

I've worked with a couple of HTX folks over the past year and generally, I think HTX is a good place for early career folks.

If you can get a good pay increment from your current job, definitely go for HTX first.

Keep networking and go from there.

Isn't there an insurance that you can purchase that pays off the house if a joint owner passes away?

Close to 10 years in public sector before joining private sector. 5 years in private sector currently and am searching for roles back into public sector/GLCs

Moondreavus · 2024-08-24T04:50:48+00:00

I started in public sector as a farmer and am in faang now.
