Fast-paced e-commerce means tough work-life balance
It's a really demanding place to work, especially for product and tech roles. You'll learn a ton, but it comes at a cost to your personal life.
You get decent exposure to the Southeast Asian e-commerce market and work with smart people. The base pay for big tech in the Singapore office is competitive, and you learn quickly.
Work-life balance here is really tough, especially as a Product Manager. Expect long hours, often including weekend work, due to constant campaigns and regional demands. The hybrid work model doesn't ease the pressure much.
Try to manage expectations better on work hours and campaign intensity. Empower teams to say no to unreasonable timelines to prevent burnout.
