I’ve been working as a technician for a while, but lately, I’ve been feeling stuck—like I’m just going through the motions without any real growth. I’ve looked into getting certifications, but honestly, it feels like just another piece of paper that doesn’t add much value. How do you break out of the routine and actually find meaningful progression in this field without burning out? And is it even worth staying in the long term?

Is it true that to become a technician or electrician, you don’t really need prior experience? I keep hearing people say, “Just join first, you’ll learn on the job.” But is it really that simple? I'm quite interested in the field but I have zero background. Can you really pick up the skills along the way, or do employers still prefer those with some kind of training or certs first? Curious to hear from those already in the industry.

I’ve been working as a technician for some time now, and while I do take pride in what I do, there are definitely things that get under my skin. For me, it’s when people think our job is “just fixing things” — they don’t see the planning, troubleshooting, and safety checks behind every task. Also, last-minute urgent calls when I’m about to go home? Brutal. 😮‍💨 If you’re a fellow tech, what’s that one thing you can’t stand about your job?

I’m working as a technician now, earning around $2k basic, but with allowances can reach about $3k. Planning to switch company and want to ask for at least a 20% pay raise. Problem is, I’m worried new employer might not count my allowances as part of my salary and offer less than I expect. How do you recommend I bring this up during salary talks so I get fair pay including the allowance that i get every month? Honestly hoping to get $3.5k or above this time.

As a technician, the work is tough and the heat in SG is no joke, but I’m actually pretty happy with what I do. Fixing aircons, wiring, and pipes might seem simple to some, but it’s a skill and there’s a lot of pride in getting things done right. Sure, it’s hard labour, but at the end of the day, seeing the results and knowing I’ve helped people is so rewarding. I hope one day I'll be able to open my own business and become my own boss with the skills that I have. Do you think it's doable?

As a technician, I’m trying to figure out how to climb the career ladder. I know there are different paths in the field, but I’m unsure what the end goal should be. Is the natural progression to become a manager, or are there other roles I should be aiming for? I enjoy the hands-on work, but I’m wondering if there’s something more I can work towards to grow in my career. Anyone who started out from the bottom, what did you do to take your career to the next level?

Feel like a technician, planner, and admin all rolled into one! I sign up to fix things, not to spend hours doing paperwork. But nowadays, being a technician also means reporting, updating Excel, chasing for parts, and writing emails to people who don’t reply. 😮‍💨 Not complaining about the job, but it’s starting to feel like I’m doing three roles at once. Anyone else in the same boat? How do you juggle all these extra tasks without burning out?
