Judging from Q from  my place'sTim Sum and chee cheong fun stalls, cash register rings non stop.
Young and innovative. 
But a lot of hard work.

RE: Retrenched 32yo software programmer has to sell Ban Mian - [[ForeverAlone]] - 03-10-2021

than selling Ban mian...

AI is the way to life.
Milking cows are done by robots too. 
But the more advance is  robots can take blood, taking over the nurses job.
One day, all hawker food will be from machines.

YEP! It is impossible to get hired by CECA because they always prefer their own villagers. They will use skills to say that their own CECA are much better to justify more CECA to work in SG.

But our NUS grads are cheaper, so how to compare with 50,000 Ramesh? Companies will need young grads to be trained to build up mixture of teams. But anyway, has any over- paid Ramesh has brought pride to SG with their skills and abilty for the past 10 years. 

CECA is becoming a nuisance and destroying the Future of Singapore.

IMHO, the CECA agreement is putting our PMETs become jobless or retrenched..

MOM need to look into this case in details.

If govt keep telling the own world we are short of IT manpower, and yet young IT manpower are switching out from the industry, something must be very wrong..

Possible reasons:

1) Govt con us.. There is never a shortage of IT manpower. In fact, there is over surplus of IT manpower in Singapore
2) Sell ban mian pay better than as programmer
3) The IT env is so toxic until people can't stay long

Feel free to add other possible reasons..
