Singapore – Tech jobs in Singapore have been found to decrease in terms of demand and relevance in 2024, according to global job platform Indeed’s ‘Top 20 Best Jobs List’ for this year, which is based on salary, employer demand and the consistent growth in the number of job postings from 2021 to 2024.
In 2023, tech-focused roles took nine spots in Indeed’s top twenty list, whereas this year, only software engineers feature, with this current list also veering towards engineering and managerial roles.
Directors of communications topped the list as the best job in Singapore, with tax managers, recruitment managers, senior mechanical engineers and procurement managers making up the top five.
Notably, Indeed mentions that the occupations with the largest percentage growth in job postings in the last three years include software engineers (122%), tax managers (106%) and clinic managers (85%). Roles witnessing the highest number of postings per one million total jobs were quantity surveyors (6,912), project engineers (6,695) and accountants (3,948).
Talking about the list, Saumitra Chand, career expert at Indeed, said, “Singapore’s best jobs list for 2024 mirrors the macro trends that are happening on a global level. Tech-based roles no longer dominate, highlighting the sector’s growing troubles, with layoffs and funding issues rife throughout the industry.”
“However, it’s important to note that tech jobs are still available; they are just not seeing the exponential growth of previous years”, he added.
