For professionals and job seekers, here’s what you need to know about [salaries](https://www.thefinancialcoconut.com/blog/tech-salaries-rebound-in-singapore), trends, and the future of tech careers. ![Tech jobs no longer lead the Best Jobs list in Singapore - Singapore News](https://media.theindependent.sg/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/focused-software-developer-wheelchair-writing-server-code-agency-data-room-using-security-system-engineer-with-physical-disability-programming-user-interface-artificial-intelligence-office-scaled-e1699671803452.jpg) ### **1. Tech Salaries: Who Earns What in 2025?** **Median Monthly Base Salaries (SGD):** - **Top Earners:** - **Site Reliability Engineer (Lead):** $18,708 - **Data Scientist (Lead):** $13,750 - **Blockchain Engineer (Senior):** $10,000 - **High-Growth Roles:** - **Game Engineer:** ▲28% YoY (Junior: 5,000→Senior:5,000→Senior:9,000) - **Solutions Engineer:** ▲11.3% YoY (Senior: $11,750) - **Modest Growth/Lagging Roles:** - **Quality Assurance (QA):** ▲9.5% for seniors, but automation threatens junior roles. - **Cybersecurity Engineer:** ▼4.6% overall, though senior roles remain stable ($8,500). **Key Takeaway:** Specialised roles in AI, blockchain, and data science command premium salaries. Traditional roles like QA face pressure from automation. ### ![What's the Hottest Job in Tech? - IEEE Spectrum](https://assets.rbl.ms/25590860/origin.jpg) ### **2. AI’s Impact: From Automation to “Higher-Value Work”** >   > > > *“By 2025, tech roles will shift towards strategy and creativity as AI automates routine tasks like QA testing.”* > > > > ![15. Ethan headshot](https://www.thefinancialcoconut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/15.%20Ethan%20headshot.jpg?width=100&height=100&name=15.%20Ethan%20headshot.jpg) > > Ethan Ang, NodeFlair’s Founding Director   This aligns with salary trends: - **QA Engineers** saw the lowest junior-level pay ($3,950), with senior roles emphasising strategic oversight. - **Data Scientists** and **AI Engineers** (grouped under “Data Scientists” in the report) surged 6–10% as demand for problem-solving skills grows. **Actionable Insight:** Upskill in AI/ML, system design, and cross-functional collaboration to stay relevant. ### **![The Agile Workspace Symbol Of Modern Software Development Practices With A Kanban Board | Premium AI-generated image](https://img.freepik.com/premium-photo/agile-workspace-symbol-modern-software-development-practices-with-kanban-board_864588-28143.jpg)** ### **3. Regional Comparisons: Singapore Leads Asia** Singaporean tech professionals out-earn regional peers by wide margins: | Role (Median, Senior) | Singapore (SGD) | India (INR) | Vietnam (VND) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Software Engineer | $9,250 | ₹129,200 (SGD 2031.39) | ₫35.0M (SGD 1829.03) | | Data Scientist | $13,750 | ₹218,800 (SGD 3439.69) | ₫28.5M (SGD 1489.35) | **Why It Matters:** Singapore’s salaries reflect its status as a tech hub, but global remote work could intensify competition ### **4. Expert Career Advice from Tech Leaders** - **Li Hongyi (OGP):** - *“Focus on solving problems, not just coding. AI amplifies chaos and efficiency—build clean systems first.”* - Remote work requires proactive communication to maintain trust. - **Igor Volynskiy (Carousell):** - Use AI to “move up levels of abstraction” (e.g., focus on user needs over code) - Prioritise curiosity and cross-functional skills. - **Rajat Malhotra (GXS Bank):** - *“AI replaces developers who just code, not engineers who solve problems.”* **Career Hack:** Embrace roles blending tech with business strategy. Leadership demands soft skills—communication, mentorship, and agility. ![9 Tech Jobs for the Future - Institute for Career Studies](https://icsblog.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/13170933/female-tech-coder.jpg) ### **5. Is Tech Still a Reliable Career?** **Yes, but adapt or risk obsolescence:** - **Declining Roles:** Junior QA (-4.2%), Systems Analyst (-3.9%). - **Rising Stars:** Blockchain (+3.9%), DevOps (+0.1%), SRE (+1.0%). **Final Takeaway:** The sector rewards lifelong learners.
