There definitely needs to be a line drawn when it comes to work life balance. Just because I don't want to work '996' hours, doesn't mean I am a 'strawberry'. I just know the difference between being exploited and working hard... Am I wrong?

Any other fresh grads out there? What's your biggest adulting fear? I graduated this year and found a traineeship... But I still feel like I'm failing in every aspect.. My work, home, personal self..?

Hi everyone. I'm a 23yo fresh dip grad female and I'm currently working as an Admin (contract ends in Jan). I'm looking into doing sales (I'm a hardworker) and even real estate, any thoughts?

Can internships really help fresh grads to increase their chances of being employed in the future? I feel like I am losing out to my peers out there with full time jobs. What are your thoughts?

I’m a fresh grad who has started work. I have consistently saved in Singlife & stashaway. A lot of people are recommending me to upgrade my normal posb acc to DBS multiplier. Should I do that?

I'm 26, going 27 next year, and I see all my friends getting married, doing well in their work, but I feel like I haven't really grown up. Is it normal to feel so lost and behind?
