Most confident and highest paid leaders though

Just received a new job offer after 8 months of job search, but it’s a 15% pay cut from my previous job.

I’m not sure if I should take up the offer or continue to look for other roles. The industry is more stable than my previous job industry.

Starting from Singapore…

Is upskilling still useful when there are much lesser seats available in high cost hubs like Singapore?

With the current job market being a lot more brutal and volatile as it is (layoffs, hiring freezes, contract roles, job hugging, etc), it got me thinking back when I had the option of signing on as an Uni grad but did not do it due to the allure of the private sector.

We always hear about the high-paying, high-stress grind in SG (like investment banking, big tech, management consulting) where you trade your life for money.

But what about the opposite? What are some hidden gem jobs in SG that pay surprisingly well, but have great work-life balance as well.

Any such scenarios / examples you have seen or heard before?

Slowing taking over more…

What are some brands you wish they are not here?

Like many others, I’m feeling the weight of the current tech job market. After several years working in strategy, marketing and recently a product manager, I’m seriously considering pivoting to a career path outside of the tech bubble that is not so volatile.

For those of you who successfully made the jump, what industry & role did you move to?
Would love to hear any success stories / experiences.

I wonder if there will be more of such cases in the future, esp when nobody is having kids now.

Even if the culture is toxic or the pay is stagnant, how bad does a job have to be for you to actually throw letter in 2026?

On the other hand, does jumping for a min 20% increment to new jobs still exist in today’s job market?

My company just did a round of layoffs, teams are getting a lot leaner, and they’ve officially enforced a mandatory 5-day work from office policy.

I’m curious how are people navigating this reality. Won’t this just leads to more people burning out when the trend continues?

Is it worth staying to ride it out, or are people actively pivoting to more stable sectors (if any) to avoid the constant volatility?

Trying to understand if MBA still gives a strong career in today’s market or if it’s becoming more useless.
