Q&A – Breaking into ESG + Singapore Job Market Tips

Hey everyone,

With a degree in Accounting and Finance, I started my career as a management associate at a foreign bank. I later moved to Singapore and transitioned into ESG investing a few years ago, so I understand what it’s like to navigate a new market and build a career from scratch.

I’m here to help if you’re:

  • A fresh grad curious about ESG careers and not sure where to start
  • A mid-career professional thinking of switching into sustainability / ESG
  • New to Singapore and trying to understand the job market here

What I can offer:

  • Resume review – tailored to ESG, private credit roles
  • Interview prep – both technical and behavioral
  • Job search strategiesnetworking tips, market insights

If you’ve got questions about ESG careers, career transitions, or finding your footing in Singapore’s finance/ESG market, drop them here or reach out directly.

Let’s make sure you stand out and feel confident in your next application.
