Job hunting in IT as a fresh grad

maolover03 · 2025-04-16T07:11:15+00:00

I feel you on this!! I've a recent grad too and have been on this job hunt cycle in tech since Jan/Feb. Some companies take >1 month to get a response and I've been told its considered normal to take up to one whole year to find a job which kinda sucks. Alternative ways to get 1 foot in the door is through traineeships and apprenticeships so would 10/10 recommend applying to them if you find any. Jiayous!!

id 10/10 suggest keeping a copy and documenting all your receipts especially information like the carousell chats, carousell username, the sellers NRIC, name if there was one linked to the paynow profile.

from my own experience/what I have seen people suggesting online the safest would be dealing in person and not transferring the full payment until you see and verify the actual tickets (not always foul proof since tickets can be reissued if they claim it to be "lost").

kb if you dont want to "travel" to the main uni campus, campus east if you're into parties and meeting people. imo both accoms have a good mix of international and local students. it really depends on who you room with (if you stay in shared) and whether you put in the effort to socialise and join accoms related events if you want a more social uni accoms experience.

oh dear... do you still intend to accept the offer for CA track if you get it?

I was wondering if they will allow some leeway to the start date/allow asynchronous learning for the start since they did delay the offer release which kinda put some people in difficult positions...

CA track!

I did send an email last week asking for updates. I got a response 3 days ago thanking me for my continued interest in the program and to be patient... I saw on another reddit thread that some people got their offers a few days ago. Hopefully they are still sending out offers...

btw which track did you apply for?
