Okay working colleague okay pay

Questionable leadership, tend to berate certain employees as biasness and favouritism are heavily played. Lack of work-life balance and general headcount for tasks/projects. OT is required very often. Lots of compliance tasks are mundane and very repetitive, yet the AML team is required to show up in the office daily despite other team being granted WFH benefits.

not much con in fact

Stressful, no CPF contribution, high start up cost

you lose money if you dont have clients

Cutthroat and deliver or suffer!

Hard to develop as a newbie, everythings need permissions and multi level bureaucracy

Lack of structure and disorganised work day to day need to be able to work independently

Better understand the individual district’s culture and style before joining. I think its common to show the rainbow side of them, and after that you’ll start to see the rainy side (pressure about sales, leads, everything). Best to not join as a first career unless you already have a good amount of capital and network. Very important.

Need consistency with leadership team
