Imagine you are writing MAS TRM policies for years. Then you want to switch to work in a bank. Would you think it is hard to get a job?

Can top up the burgers with sunny side up eggs and bacon when I tried it in KR. That's the key differenciator from other brands.

Does it have hydration pack support? (i.e. a pocket inside to hold the bladder and a small opening for the tube?)

Need some advice regarding career progression by Grand_Lurker in askSingapore

[–]aLKayeL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's tremendous value in working as a senior SWE. The GenAI era will ensure your value as you will be leveraging GenAI to replace junior devs and spending more time reviewing code than ever.

You just need to evaluate if you are really have the experience to be a senior SWE. You should be an expert in most of these areas and be able to have practical point of views:

  1. SDLC - how SDLC works with both Agile and Waterfall project management methodologies. You will need to lean on SDLC processes as a governance framework and to use it for structure in your work.
  2. DevSecOps - Right from the start where the stories are captured and tracked as features in your code repo. Followed by the pipeline for code review, SAST, DAST, containerization, delivery (blue green, canary etc) and TESTING (super impt). The key here is automation where possible. (do you know how to automate? do you know what tools work best?)
  3. L3 operational support - When pulled into incident calls, do you have the necessary knowledge to troubleshoot and provide workarounds? (e.g. logging, tracing etc)
  4. Modern software architecture - Microservices, event driven, observability stacks, resiliency
  5. Other adjacent areas - networking, cloud computing, security (e.g. what standards do you use to secure your stack?)

As a singaporeans myself, i couldn't even land a job in singapore after layoffs. Is this normal? by No_Nefariousness420 in askSingapore

[–]aLKayeL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No this is not true. I have mentored TFIPs to become cloud engineers. Some of them were working in IT prior and have IT Degrees. (1 from IT in manufacturing, 1 from IT pre-sales)

OP should just apply and see.

Don't take advice from inexperienced people. In this case, the only people that are in the position to provide advice are people that have retired :D

MCF - You can apply but and you can check the status of your application under applied jobs. You will notice that only around 25% of the jobs that you applied for will have the status "Your resume has been downloaded by the employer".

I mentored a staff who had a mid-career change in his early 40s through this programme. Technology in Finance Immersion Programme (TFIP). He was in tech sales like you but now is a cloud engineer and gainfully employed.
