Choosing job stability​

Despite this unhappiness at work, the report found that 72% of Singaporeans are planning to stay in an outgrown position for more than a year before looking for new opportunities.
This is also despite 79% of them saying that they are open to making drastic career changes.

Singaporeans' reservations in looking for a new job were attributed by about a third of the respondents to uncertainty in future job prospects (35%), work-life balance concerns on the new role (35%), and financial stability (31%).

Chew Siew Mee, Managing Director, Singapore, Jobstreet by SEEK, said their findings indicate that Singaporeans' career decisions are influenced by practicality, where they prioritise stability than looking for more fulfilling or challenging work.

"Coupled with uncertainties of today's job market, this caution may be warranted – but at the same time, these employees may miss out on new opportunities that could unlock greater career growth and longer-term satisfaction," Chew said in a statement.

Skills mismatch in Singapore​

Meanwhile, the report further found that only 14% of Singaporean employees feel their current job matches their skills and aspirations very or perfectly well.


Lower-wage earners in the city-state are also more likely to say that their current job does not align with their skills and aspirations, according to the report.

This mismatch between job roles and employee skills and aspirations could be connected to the broader challenges faced by Singaporeans in finding a satisfying job," said Jobstreet and Jobsdb by SEEK in its media release.
According to the report, 57% of Singaporeans feel that it is now more challenging to find a job that matches their skills and preferences than they first entered the workforce.

In fact, 53% of Singaporeans said finding the right job is just as hard as looking for the right long-term partner, while 27% say it's much more difficult.

Don't be a cock. That is why they are paying you so little. If they dare pay 1.9k, that's to say when they outsource some job,the rate is lower then that.
They Can always outsource their work to come 3rd world sweat shop to do the job.

It's frustrating how low the pay is, especially considering the long hours and high stress. And you’re spot on, staff augmentation https://agilie.com/services/staff-augmentation has become a go-to for these firms to cut costs even further. Outsourcing to lower-wage regions just fuels the cycle of underpaying those in higher-cost countries.
