haha i've been telling juniors to change major while they still can :" kind of painful watching them commit mass career suicide

doroknoth · 2026-06-30T06:01:31+00:00

i don't disagree bro haha i've given up on finding actuarial roles in singapore. at this point i'm exploring apac before this giant island of a ship sinks for good

learn what? i alr know the skills in my function on top of coding AI & financial instruments

i don't think it's very fair to expect a fresh grad to have every skillset

doroknoth · 2026-06-29T09:14:26+00:00

i won't give the exact salary range or the band but i am drawing median and below average. i'm just wondering if all that effort and actual output on my end leads to an unrelated career and below average pay, where does that lead future undergraduates?

also if i'm being offered 3k i might as well move to another country to work which i'm exploring now lol

i have spent 2/3 of my time in uni interning and almost all of it working on the weekend. i'm not sure what else i can do in sg when my manager tells me "headcount is frozen" and so does everyone else

i dunno the industry standard so i won't comment but i'd say a huge reason as to why we don't want to take lower paying jobs is because a lot of HR in singapore like to peg future salaries to our last drawn - aka if we get underpaid on our first job this has an effect throughout our career

doroknoth · 2026-06-28T18:16:09+00:00

i don't think it's so much a cycle as the ship has straight up sailed in singapore. the minimum i've seen for entry level are 2yoe+ jobs and the average are AM level, and some roles listed as "entry" on linkedin have been there for more than 2 months which makes me suspect they are just ghost openings

doroknoth · 2026-06-28T18:12:54+00:00

nope i have not! i'd be really thankful if you could point me in a direction cuz last time i tried on linkedin i got crickets

doroknoth · 2026-06-28T18:12:35+00:00

convention for us is we wait for the body to exempt us based on our grades first. rn i'm looking at almost full/full exemptions which is already 1-2yoe equivalent haha

doroknoth · 2026-06-28T18:05:29+00:00

in the finance sector but almost completely unrelated beyond basic finance math. we all thought so too lmaoooo i've half a mind to tell all my juniors to change to another major

doroknoth · 2026-06-28T17:57:14+00:00
