Day in the Life of a Software Systems Engineer in Singapore

- Let's go on an adventure! Join me through a typical day in the life as a Software Systems Engineer in the island nation. I've been working abroad in the Singapore aviation industry for the past year and it has been an amazing experience so far. Hope you enjoy the show :)
Something interesting, we were advised to work from home the day after I filmed this video as the Singapore Government raised the 'DORSCON' level to orange earlier during the week. A conference which I was scheduled to speak at on the following Monday was cancelled due to this...

Hey brother, I'm an entry level software developer from India planning on moving to Singapore, can you fill me up with information regarding living cost, salary, housing facilities etc?
Appreciate the effort you put on making that video. 👍
Hey bro, appreciate it! I think it really depends on what you want to do (which company/industry etc.) but a good place to start looking is glassdoor.sg. Say if you were to join Facebook SG as a software engineer, you can expect a salary of around S$6k/mo, depending on your offer you may also receive a signing bonus and other benefits such as accommodation allowances.
Living in general is quite expensive in Singapore as you may be aware, a small studio apartment can cost around $2k/mo (excluding utilities) so you really want your employer to support you if they can. Fortunately, eating out is rather cheap (compared to Australia) in Singapore! Hope this helps and best of luck! 👍
@@zetazephyr thank you ❤️
a lot of chinese in singapore
Hi siddharth, I make videos on living costs in Singapore as a foreigner ( ua-cam.com/video/ESp7Wt4u9As/v-deo.html ) feel free to ask if you have any questions. As Zeta said, living is quite expensive, comparing to Indonesia & I believe India as well. But the salary can offset that cost for most of the foreigner, hence, we choose to work in Singapore :D If you rent a room instead of the whole apartment unit, you can get it at around $700 in most locations or half if you don't mind sharing the room with someone else, however, you will have more limited freedoms (can't cook in the kitchen/can't invite friends/etc depending on the landlord). All the best for your move!
i am a singaporean and i find that jobs in singapore pay too little. Thats why i decided to work on my own as a forex trader. Started with a capital of 20k and turn it to 400k in 4 years. of cos most people dont believe it but when i show them my trading statement to them in-person they are shocked xD. they will ask how u did it but i will just tell them its a secret because whenever you earn money someone has to lose money. if its that easy everyone will be millionaire :)
He seems enjoying his life. Just a reminder for any guys, being alone isnt the same with lonely
I love lonely ness !! I love my thoughts and being by myself ! I hate conversing with people .
Yep being alone is a power. Because it helps you realize the things you want to be.
I’d still prefer being with a lovely lady
So true!
Software Engineering
Expectation:developing groundbreaking systems and softwares
Reality:searching "how to sort arrays in c" on stackoverflow
I sorted arrays in 1st year college,
In my final year, i developed a system that amused a senior scientist at millitary , and now i work for the government.
I don't know what you are talking about.
@@sceaserjulius9476 ok but I sorted arrays with god before I was born, I dont know what you are talking about
@@sceaserjulius9476 Im a millionaire and
I don't know anything you are talking about.
are you guys talking?
Sceaser Julius Not a huge feat to be bragged in here.
Great video! You structure your day perfectly! wfh now but always feel not doing much. Thank you for the inspiration! Keep it up!
Nice video man! I’m a 2nd year computer science student. Grindin everyday to be better in problem solving and makin it big someday. Watchin this kind of vids gives me motivation every time i get stuck in a problem 👍
Thanks man! A CS degree is very versatile in the current market, you will go far! Best of luck 👍
Wow, I am Taiwanese, and I have considered working at SG for a long time.
Please make more video like this, which would definitely inspire much more people !
Great video!! It's super interesting to learn about cultures and daily routines! Cheers from a fellow QA Engineer from Argentina :)
Amazing! Your are so disciplined! Gotta learn a lot from you!
An entry-level programmer from Hong Kong
this is the most realistic day in a life video as Tech employee so far. it reminded me when I was a foreign employee in Malaysia as a software engineer. good video, keep it up!
reminds me of the two major questions when coding. "This won't work, why?" and "This works, why?"
Nice video man! Thanks for the great inspiration!! :)
Surrounded by people still so alone.. This is what Modern lifestyle is all about 😔

So you can ask his credit card info? Lol
@@casiocurious8744 Are you drunk or did you smoke something before commenting?
How did you come to the conclusion that he was trying to extract credit card info out of him.
@@ankit0657 Either you are naive or a scammer just like him. So, which one are you?
@@casiocurious8744 He defo wants his credit card number lol. I mean who just randomly gives their email out the way he did on a platform like this.
Atleast he goes at 9am and leaves by 5pm .
contemplating the meaning of life - the only part i can relate to
Great video, cool use of the ironing board too.
You get a lot of things done in a day. That's great !
Looks like you are living your best life and what and amazing view you have! Great video! Found this really inspiring.
The standup work setup looks cool! Seems much more cost effective than the whole bench-moving setup. Could please share more info(links to buy, ..) about this setup , if possible?
Hey bro, you inspired me a lot! I used to performed that rutine, but I quit it for a time, is time to get back appreciete your effords on this video
You stood during working! That's amazing! I also want to become a software engineer in singapore! Tks for this video!
I loved it hahahaha sitting all day long isnt good for the back
Loved that Green Day cover!
Watched it !! Loved it !! and Saved in my Bookmarks to get some motivation every-time from you whenever i feel low. and here is the 50th like from my side. #Upload some more like - How to get job and how to pursue I.T. career well.
Thanks man, appreciate it! I will do my best, although my background is in mechanical/aerospace engineering 👍
@@zetazephyr then how did you become a systems engineer
@@jeevasenthil1298 EDUCATION
I began to love coding since a year ago. It is really nice to see how people appreciate our work through programming. You have such a cool life there. Btw, I'm a Green Day fan too!!
Thanks man, appreciate it! Green Day is awesome! :) I was a bit bummed out that their tour was cancelled because of the outbreak, was hoping to see them in Singapore!
Good, i think you are leading a peaceful life even if its alone, also nice editing and very matching background music .... actually man i inspire you little, this video taught me how to move forward even we are in a boring job( just in my perspective ) ....
i learned something from you....Thank you... :)
Thanks mate, appreciate it! :)
who's taking the vid though lol
WTF, Video and editing quality is top notch, i thought you have at least 200k subs.
I really love it! Greetings from Poland!
Great video i really enjoyed it. Hope you the best for your future.
Thank For Sharing Your Busy And Suitable Life... Awesome Keep It Up, Bro....
Dude its trilive ha!!!
I used to stay in the very same condo. Feels great to re-live. Cheers mate
Beautiful! Loved the singing by the way
Now this is the day in life I’ve been looking for! Good content :)
This guy gets to reach home at 5:45pm, not common at all in SG. Most of us leave office at 7-9pm onwards if you're 9-6. And we work from home during weekends too.
@@deliciousnoodles5505 u are working in a service based company with a low pay maybe product based company gives u a good work life balance
This is the most realistic engineer days video i watched. Except the morning exercise but from that on, pretty much the same thing. Meetings, getting stuck on one thing, lunch, more work shit, travelling and then waste time till tomorrow
Nice editing. I like your style. Greetings from Germany :)
I'm from Colombia and i loved this video.
nice to see that all it people have a healthy lifestyle, each one of them are having an exercise in the morning and in the evening just admirable.
Great content.... Keep up the good work...
Thank you.....
Bruh you’re getting up so early to workout and go to bed so late 😭 you’re a warrior !
until falling in sick
Me i wake up at 4:30 am and i sleep 11:30pm
@@MAANSHIIL same
heyy~ i will go to singapore next week... your video is really helpful to know life in Singapore
This video is just perfect!
There it is dude, the Corridors of Time alarm sound. Brilliant idea! Chrono Trigger soundtrack doesn't get enough respect.
I was always going to like this video at the end, but when I seen the ironing board for a desk, well I instantly liked the video haha! comical, quality stuff!
Hi bro love to see man your are such inspiration for Principe of your life love to see you
Excellent video, it was a great motivation for me, practically how I imagined living as a software engineer is how you are living it.,
Sorry I couldn't hear anything over the sound of those ennourmous calfs!!!
I just got the like button... Hahaha I enjoyed your video a lot
That was one of the coolest vlogs I've ever seen
Great video!!! My wife and I are software engineer. We are planning to move to Singapore! This gave us a great insight!
I love this... thanx Zeta
hey zeta, great video! i’m an aspiring software developer and i was wondering if you could do a video on what are some of the skills and mindsets that you think are really helpful in this industry ! was also wondering if you could share a little more on how it’s like working in singapore ! keep up the good work :-)
No
Oh my God, i love this. You and guittar, awesome. Nice video, Ed sheeran, lol.
Wow, so productive. Love this! Can't wait to be a Software Engineer in Singapore once this pandemic is done. 😁
Go for it! You'll make it!
That is what life is all about. Goodluck and Godbless.
So.... basically no interaction with other human beings?
@@excorific7514 what’s wrong with that ?
This is by far the most realistic one, other be like coding 2 hours at work 6 hours, tea time. BRUH
And 5 hrs eating
Loved the vid!! you are very productive though.
You got a good music taste mate, green day, ACDC.. nice
Loved it. Got subscribed... :)
Loved it brother.💜💜
Nice video buddy :) Thanks for giving me nice inspiration :)
Your life are so amazing. I love it
Wait you have less than a thousand subscribes? Wtf man so much quality in this video
I really enjoyed 😊 very well portrayed...... 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Nice video and very exciting life
I love your video! 🙂👍🏾
There is absolutely no way this is a day in the life of a software engineer😭Nice vid man
I have been doing this for 30+ years now. This was the best period of my life. You enter into discreet phases in life, find the woman of your dreams, have kids, see them grow into great adults while never giving up my passion of writing code. Keep up the discipline and enjoy quiet moments in life
Data engineer from SG here - damn I really miss going out to work rn after seeing your video... HAHAHA
Gran bel lavoro! Video molto bello
Staring at stack overflow is highly relatable
I used to stay at HDB around there for almost 5 years. Nice food alone the Upper Serangoon road. Punggol nasi lemak, soya bean curd, favorite curry rice shop open at night, etc... At the time condo was still under construction and corner was car park. Everyday drink coffee at toast box. lots of memories.
Guitar practice is very nice ; superb idea to relief stress .😎💫💫👍
Hi Zee....Bon Voyage. Stay Safe and Let's have your favourite food the next time U r back Ok. Let us know when u r visiting again. u deserve the Best Tenant Award!!!
In 2019, I went to Singapore. My first international trip. Amazing country and more amazing people.
NYC video
This video give me lots of motivation
I Hope one day I also live this life style😘
3:40 Nice video Zeta Zephry. Where did you buy your little battle station? Can you share the link? Thank you
great camera work nice edit
new subscriber
Thank you, for the video
Sick moves bro 😎
Love your sense of humour 😄
Nice your work in your life
Thanks for sharing 🥰🥰💯👍
Cool a convertibel sitting/standing table for work i like that.
Great video man
Nice video not too long and not too short
Dude ur setup was so cool damn
The "incase engineering doesn't workout" had me good
so where to find the equipment you use for standing work
Hey, brother if only we could see more of what you actually do!! Could you do a comparison too like being in a non-tech company in SG vs a tech company in SG? Also, I am quite impressed with your dedication to waking up early and also going home to do other stuff!!
i just start studying
engineering in computer systems, and videos of this type they motivate me keep working hard.
What exactly is motivating in this video?
@@r1a1_lactose_enjoyer
It gives me the mentality of the places where I can work in the future when I finish university.
everyone's motivations are different.
I hope I have clarified your doubt, have a good day.
@@carlosrobertoperezdomingue8556 go on then human robot
@@carlosrobertoperezdomingue8556 Keep going, the other guy commenting just can't make it and butt hurt, so he is complaining everything.
thanks for you video~
Hi Zeta, what is the brand of your extra table? the foldable one? Thanks
8:30 Were you actually playing the howls castle theme on your guitar if yes I would like to hear it .....Coz yeah that was smooth af !!!!!
I listened that too!
stackoverflow, a programmer's haven
I know right, stackoverflow is so underappreciated!!!
Sorry but what exactly is Stack Overflow?
I'm new to IT so I'm not exactly familiar with the terms used.
@@vsakthivelu1802 same even i cannot understand this type of complex words 😂😂
@@vsakthivelu1802 Im a third year IT student, just finished a POS that could print receipt using thermal printer, guess what, most of the codes came from stackoverflow and indian friends here in youtube 🤣. didnt know much about stackoverflow when I was first year, but now, damn, that place is heaven.
@@vsakthivelu1802 Stackoverflow is like the Reddit for developers
This man is living the dream!
editing this video!!
lol... legendary!!
Hey, what kind of convertible desk are you using at 3:42?
Is it good? Or would you recommend something else?
Man, life as a civilain looks amazing.
Nice. Well scheduled lyfstyle. Introverts life. Calm and peaceful.
I can relate brother! greetings from thailand.
Impressive guitar skills🥰😍😍😍😍
Hello, the video is nice and can motivate me to balance life and work, your laptop desk was nice. where did you buy it man?
Is your apartment part of the public housing projects that you buy from the government ? I'm surprised that you have such a nice swimming pool. Great Video :)
Thanks man! My apartment is only three years old apparently, but you're right HDBs or 'public housing' in Singapore generally don't have facilities like pools etc. so I am pretty fortunate!
@@zetazephyr around how much are you paying in rent?
Hey I like the stretchable dock on your table, sometimes I need to use the PC without sitting for a long time. may I ask what this item called and where you bought that item? thank you.
Singapore welcomes you!
