Hey man,

Congrats in advanced for your nearing graduation. Btw, is it true that Singaporeans usually graduate at 23-25 yrs old?

Anyway, my advice would be not to be too confident that they will give an offer. If you think they probably will, that's good. But I suggest keep looking and applying for other firms prior to graduation as well! It never hurts to have more options, when you have more options, you can even leverage on that especially if the interviewer asks if you have pending applications or offers from other companies. But as a fresh grad, don't get too confident, with your experience and background you're probably competent. But if there's one thing I've learned, it's one thing to excel at school (and even internship because they cut you more slack then) vs. working in the real world.

Give us updates man!

Cheers!

 

Hey Biriyo Neru,

Thanks for following up! Yes, it is true that Singaporeans usually graduate around that age. Guys have to give up 2 years for National Service (which is conscription into either the military, police force, or civil defence force). So girls usually graduate at 22-23, and guys at 24-25.

And yes, I've gotten an offer! But I have yet to reply as I have some time to think about it (~2 weeks). But I'm wondering if there's any negative repercussions for signing it and accepting it now, and then abandoning it and going for a better offer if it comes later on. (I still have ~6-7 months before graduation).

Also, I tried to find the email chain you were talking about but I can't locate it.
