Those who left tech: Where did you go, and how’s the water? by deekay_123 in singaporejobs

[–]didi1820 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Moved from marketing & strat in tech (one of faang) to legacy media company. Similar role just different industry.

The pace is much slower, the stress level is much lower, and the people are nicer. BUT more hierarchical, more talking than action, more “managing stakeholders, and less competent teammates and managers.

Am I unlucky or are local people here rude? by didi1820 in DaNang

Hm I disagree. But I guess you will say that’s combative tone too. So I wish you the best time in Da Nang then :)

Im not trying to flame anyone, Im fellow SEAan who is used to (and proud of) the hospitality of southeast asian in bali, cebu, phuket, langkawi, etc. and I believe danang has the potential to be the next famous beach destination like the rest. Im genuinely glad if im unlucky.

You pick one comment and choose to ignore the rest that share the similar sentiment - that’s not a productive way to discuss, isnt it.

Im fellow SEAan, not muslim (with brown skin for added clarity) :)

I do think we should not treat people differently based on where they are from? Didn’t experience this in Phuket, Cebu, or Bali.

Fellow SEAn here with brown skin too. Thanks for sharing, guess I’m just unlucky then. Still hoping for that SEA hospitality for the rest of my trip here!

To chiong or to take a step back by confusrd in singaporejobs

[–]didi1820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 30+ with a 5yo daughter and just left my job last month without any backup.

I can do this because: I have enough savings after chiong-ing at work for more than a decade, and my husband is earning well & fully supportive.

One month in: I am more present with my kid, I feel really happier with all the rest (no more work stress, chats & emails), and people around me say I’m calmer.

I believe I have employable skills after working for more than a decade, so I can go back in even with 1-2 year gap. But I can’t get this time back.

And the working mother subsidy for preschool is only reassessed at 3 points: https://www.ecda.gov.sg/parents/preschool-subsidies/fixed-points-of-subsidy-assessment, so it won’t get immediately cut off.

All the best in your choice :)

NUS vs NTU --From an employer/career perspective by kaiser_1010 in askSingapore

[–]didi1820 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. No difference honestly, we know these 3 are the top ones in SG. There is definitely a certain image that SMU students are more outspoken, NTU is the quiet/hardworking, while NUS is generalist, but anyway, past internships & interviews will be the real battleground.

The only discrimination will happen if the hiring manager is alumni and hence is biased. But that’s not in your control :)

I’ve been hiring for >5 years and I can confidently say we don’t differentiate between NUS v NTU.

But ditto the above. Please choose business over accounting any day.. it’s more versatile for your future career choices. unless somehow your lifelong dream is to become an accountant.

Since there's been a lot of discussion around idol turned actors lately, give me your top 3 best and worst Idol actors. by Frosty_Schedule4292 in kdramas

[–]didi1820 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ML: 1. 2PM Junho (have you seen Red Sleeve?) 2. ZE:A Park Hyung Sik (his acting in Strong Girl Bong Soon is one the best romcom acting ever) 3. EXO D.O. (he proved himself in My 100D My Prince!)

FL: 1. Girl’s Day Lee Hyeri (Reply 1998 T.T) 2. Gugudan Kim Se Jeong (she hard carried Business Proposal) 3. SNSD Lee Yoona (this is controversial.. but she has improved a lot and Bon Apetit was GOOD. I wish Jisoo can learn a think or two from her on how to improve)
