Jobs in banking and finance appear to have lost their allure in 2018, according to a recent survey of over 3,000 working adults in Singapore.
Jobs in banking, finance, investment seem to have lost their lustre amongst Singapore-based job seekers last year. This category of jobs fell from top place in 2017 to fifth position last year, according to a survey by recruitment firm CareerBuilder.
The Singapore's Employer of Choice Survey 2018, conducted between May and October last year, covered 3,000 working adults as well as tertiary undergraduates, aged 16 years and above.
Top Choices
The firm found that the most sought-after jobs were in the healthcare or medical industry, followed by government and education and training. Among the government or government-linked employers of choice, the Monetary Authority of Singapore and Singapore Tourism Board retained their titles as first and second in the category.
The top private employers remained the same in 2018, with tech-giant Google in top place for the fourth consecutive year. In the Top 10 Start-up Employers of Choice category, Carousell and Redmart stayed at the first and second places for the third year running.
