Career & Labour-Market Analysis

Pay, flexibility, demand and job security, read together rather than ranked on salary alone.

48.6% vs 22.5%

Computing vs non-computing postings in the high-pay band

What it is: Two linked analyses: job postings, comparing computing with other roles; and Singapore graduate outcomes joined with Ministry of Manpower employment and retrenchment series.
What I did: I merged the posting files into one table, normalised salaries across currencies and pay periods, mapped fields of study to occupations and industries as a stated proxy, and removed a 2012 salary scaling anomaly instead of letting it skew the story.
Result: Computing roles pay higher and allow remote work twice as often (23.6% vs 11.8%) but have a smaller junior share. On the graduate side, strong pay or employability did not guarantee stable demand or lower retrenchment risk.
