    I am 21 currently, and will probably finish my bachelor's in International Business in a year (had a delay because of COVID). Since I specialized in the Asian market I have been wanting to live and work in Asia for quite some time now. Singapore seems like a perfect international hub for getting to know the various cultures but I heard that it's very difficult to land a job because of how competitive the country is. This video gave me a little more hope. Bless 🙏🏾

    Hi Adrian, thanks for sharing. I am also originally from China but did my BA and MA in the US, but I came to NTU for my Ph.D. this year, so I feel really happy to have found out about your channel and substantially learned from your experience. There are many Chinese students and workers straight from China, but not too many like us who (in an interesting way) can think, talk, work and study both as Chinese but also as Angmo Americans. I do feel that we, as Chinese graduates from US schools, sometimes do have an advantage in our language and work skills since US schools really pushed students to take internships and learn from the industry more often. Btw, I graduated with a BA from Rice University and came to learn about Singapore in 2020, and made the final move across the pacific recently. I really feel related to a lot of your experiences. Also love your channel and keep up the good work!

    Hi Adrian,
    I commented on this video a few months back, as I am also hoping to work in Singapore in the future. In the meantime, I've kept doing my research and read that the minimum salary requirement for the E-Pass has risen to 5000SGD. I was wondering if this affects you (as a current E-Pass holder), and whether or not this makes applying for jobs harder for non-Singaporean gradutates/professionals. Please let me know. I would love to hear your thoughts!

    Heyo, Adrian, another comment many months down the line. From your more recent videos, it looks like your life in Singapore is still as exhilarating as ever. ^^
    I would like to know, might you make another update video like this in future? You have probably seen that MOM will implement new parameters on the Employment Pass from September 2023. With these new requirements, the bar has been raised so high (minimum S$4500 p/m to S$5000) that will considerably push the difficulty of finding a job in an entry level position, never mind as a fresh graduate.
    What are your thoughts on this?

    • @AdrianWan1

If I want a stable and career without glass ceiling, what industries would you recommend?

    • @AdrianWan1
      @AdrianWan1  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Your diverse marketing background is very impressive! Personally I'd say in Singapore, esp in the tech sector, there's a pretty good culture of equality and fair treatment, which could offer a great environment for career growth. With your experience, I'd recommend exploring opportunities in Singapore's fintech or digital and creative industries. These sectors value innovation and could provide a platform for your skills to shine. Best of luck!!
