hi, I’m currently in the process of transitioning into the web development field. I’ve been taking a few months to prepare for interviews. Do employers see a few months’ gap as a red flag? What’s the longest gap that’s generally acceptable?

Hey guys, My name is Mihran, I'm a software engineering student from toronto canada and I'm looking to find some jobs in Singapore for when i graduate in april 2026. I have completed 2 internships as a software dev during my time at uni. Do you guys have any advice for me on how to apply and what to expect? Also feel free to reach out to me if you want to connect!

I'm 28M with a background in banking and some experience in retail. ZERO formal computer science background. But I've always been intrigued by tech, and lately I've been seriously thinking of becoming a software developer. I know it's not too late, and I'm confident I can learn, but I don’t know where to begin. What are the first steps or beginner-friendly courses I should take to start this journey? Should I go with bootcamps, self-learning platforms, or get a diploma?

In Singapore, I’ve noticed that titles like “Senior” or “Lead” in the tech world can mean wildly different things depending on the company. I once met a “Tech Lead” who had less than two years of experience—why is this so? Anyone care to explain if this is a Singapore only thing? And I guess in the tech world, are titles overrated, or do they really impact how you’re seen in the industry? 🤔

Does anyone else feel like a diversity interviewee? Like they interview locals but just for the sake of it. I have evidences of X countrymen hiring their own.

Its been half year since I apply to SG Software Engineer role. Mostly was job posting expired / no longer accept candidates. A few has responded criteria no match on work sponsorship. May I ask whats happening in SG Software Company? Or does it related to MOM rules changed? I need some advice.

I’m working as a software designer, just finished my first year of working in this company but honestly, I already feel like this job isn’t for me even after spending 4 years studying and getting my degree. Not sure if it’s the company or the role itself, but I just don’t enjoy it. Anyone else felt this way? How did you make the switch to something else without wasting all that study time? What career paths did you consider after? Really need advice on what to do next.

"Can you just add one small feature?" and next thing you know, you're rewriting half the codebase. 😩 The life of a developer in SG is all about Jira, constant bug fixes, and never-ending user acceptance testing (UAT). Clients want magic, but they don't always understand the effort or the timelines involved. How do you manage expectations while avoiding burnout? Would love to hear how others navigate this balancing act between delivering quality work and taking care of your own well-being.

Sometimes I feel more like a firefighter than a developer. Our product team always throws us new feature requests without giving proper specs. No user stories, no detailed flow. Then expect us to roll it out in a week. When something breaks, we get blamed for not “thinking ahead”. Honestly, it’s draining. I want to build quality code, but it feels like I’m always rushing just to keep up. Is this just how startups work or is there a better way to manage this?
