Having lived and worked in a number of Asian countries, Singapore remains as one of the countries with very low levels of corruption.

I work for a FAANG in Singapore. The above statement about remote work and software work being not valued are not based on facts/reality. My manager is the least bothered if I come to work or WFH, as long as I delver results/work assigned.

Historically engineers (including software) are considered blue collar - that’s what I heard multiple times from the locals. That’s what I experienced myself while living and working there. FAANG is not a good example, try working outside of the FAANG bubble and see for yourself.

I think this would help put this topic in context: http://elijames.org/the-two-tiers-of-singapores-tech-compani...

Can you briefly summarize this wall of text?

The point of providing a link here is to outsource the explanation to someone who does it better. If you take issue with that, you could always get chatGPT to summarize for you.

I thought you had a point to discuss and linked the article to illustrate that point. That would have been interesting.

If this link was purely informational - I’m sorry, I’m not interested.
