擁有 5,000 萬使用者的 MIT 平台是什麼樣子？解密 17LIVE 工程與產品團隊！
台灣在全球科技業的舞台上，常常是數間知名的半導體公司吸引著國際的目光，但其實台灣也有不少出色的軟體公司。其中，全球擁有超過 5,000 萬個註冊使用者、在亞洲與美國都有擁戴者的直播平台 17LIVE，就是一個例子。
創立於 2015 年的 17LIVE，六年來跨足了多項不同的社群平台，在不同層次的挑戰中持續前進和成長，目前在台灣、日本、香港、新加坡、新德里和洛杉磯等地都設有辦公室，更是在 2021 年 9 月進行了全球的品牌重塑計畫，未來將以全球集團的規模，持續打造創新的社群娛樂平台。
雖然版圖擴張，但是孵育出 17LIVE 的台灣重要性卻絲毫不減。作為 17LIVE 全球產品和技術中心，未來台灣將持續作為 17LIVE 的最強後盾，從使用者直接接觸的平台本身到背後所需要的工程技術支援，都會是台灣團隊的舞台。在本集的《科技職涯》中，我們邀請到了 17LIVE 的 Engineering Director Sammy 以及 Senior Product Manager Ruby，請他們用技術人才的角度來跟大家分享這個產品背後的故事！

30:30 在 17LIVE 跨國協作的有趣經驗
31:50 17LIVE 的產品跟工程團隊正在招募哪些夥伴？17LIVE in Taiwan
「臺灣的優勢是開放的環境，有輿論還有知識，甚至於政治。」17LIVE 的台灣團隊有多麽重要？在 Engineering Director Sammy 的經驗中，各個面向都有豐富機會的台灣，造就了大量的優秀人才，這樣的環境提供了多元的資源與觀點，讓 Sammy 一路以來都能探索不同面向的自己、找到適合自己的舞台。
發跡於台灣的 17LIVE，擁有諸多資深的台灣員工，其中最核心的就是產品技術與資料科學團隊，「17LIVE 的 App 都是 made in Taiwan 的。」Sammy 直言。
雖然台灣是技術與產品核心，但不代表沒有機會參與跨國的交流。身為產品經理的 Ruby 以自身的經驗分享道，作為產品人最關注的就是使用者，橫跨不同國家、語言的 17LIVE，若是只有台灣的夥伴去開發產品，其實很難真正掌握不同地區使用者的需求。
Ruby 舉例，直播平台中常見的 donate 互動「紅包」如果在歐美市場直接用翻譯的 red envelope，當地的使用者因為不同的文化背景，很難確實理解其意義。因此，藉由深入瞭解 user needs，後來使用了「precious box」取代了紅包，讓不同文化的使用者都能享受到一致的互動體驗。
除了了解不同市場的使用者以外，Ruby 還分享了一個跨國協作經驗。先前他參加了一場由印度 Machine Learning 團隊主導的會議，與會的夥伴來自不同國家與部門，從工程師、產品到行銷都有。雖然沒有任何一個人的母語是英文，但是在討論時大家都能因為關注同樣問題，目標導向地順暢溝通，那種夥伴之間跨國界、跨領域但是方向一致、理解力暢行無阻的合作氛圍，讓 Ruby 印象很深刻。
Sammy 從 MIS、前端、DevOps 到 SRE 的職涯
雖然都在工程領域，但是職涯一路走來 Sammy 嘗試了不少職能，他坦言自己學生時期也非常迷惘、不知道未來想做的事情與方向，當時他透過不斷「學習」去探索、尋找自己喜歡的東西。除了自主學習以外，Sammy 也參加了不少社群和各界人士交流，甚至和朋友一起創立了台灣的 AWS 的 user group，一直在延伸各種可能性。Sammy 也分享，自己在找工作時最重視三件事：是否有趣、是否能持續學習、是否能帶來成就感。17LIVE 成立至今六年，Sammy 就待了將近 5 年，可以說是跟 17LIVE 歷經了很多改變和成長。回憶起當初加入 17LIVE 的原因，Sammy 最大的拉力是來自很值得學習的前輩，除了工程師最重要的技術能力以外，這位前輩講究找到核心問題的做事方法，以及掌握問題、定義問題的能力，都是 Sammy 決心加入 17LIVE 成長的重要原因。
從 AWS 到 GCP 的雲端大搬遷
Sammy 在 17LIVE 一路從 Senior Engineer、Senior Engineering Manager 到 Engineering Director，在 17LIVE 歷經了不少重大的職涯里程碑，而他印象最深刻的專案，是 2018 年時從 AWS 到 GCP 的雲端大搬遷。
團隊還小的時候，維護所需的時間不多，甚至可以在上班時間輕易完成，但是彼時的 17LIVE 在使用者數量、產品的複雜度等等都有一定的規模，想要維護或是進行 migration 這樣的大事都不是一蹴而幾的，需要事先做縝密的規劃與風險評估。
在團隊密切的合作與練習、分工之下，這次的 migration 耗時了一年準備和演練，並分批進行在線的 migration，而不是完全停止平台的使用，除了考量對使用者的影響以外，在線 migration 可以即時 roll back 處理問題，而非等待一個問題完全處理好後，卻發現另一個更大、更重要甚至環環相扣的問題，最後導致數次的產品停機，反而造成使用者更多不便。
Sammy 笑說，migration 當下適逢他的女兒出生，但是因為雲端搬遷的事前安排非常妥當，最後讓他能夠兩者兼顧。同樣的時間點在工作、生活都發生了各自的里程碑，成為 Sammy 非常難忘的一段經歷。成為全球集團的 17LIVE 是什麼樣的風貌？來看看17LIVE 的 Cake Profile！

Ruby 從心理系開始的 PM 職涯
在心理系研究所專攻工商領域的 Ruby，發現自己很喜歡接觸大量的使用者行為、剖析背後的動機，然而，他更享受從洞察問題到實際解決的過程，PM 這個參與完整過程的角色就非常適合自己，他可以從質化面向去了解使用者的心理動機 觸發的行為，也可以從量化的面向去解讀數據、觀察平台上的使用者行為，並以 PM 的角色實際發揮影響力、看到使用者行為在 before after 的轉變。
User Needs 永遠是最重要的
什麼叫好的功能和產品？如果從 Ruby 身為 PM 的角度來說，那就是使用者說的算。Ruby 曾經做過一個二手車商的 CRM 系統，雖然整合了很多的數據、打造一站式的工具，原先期待可以解決二手車商在管理消費者遇到的痛點，不料卻遇到一位車商直言他看不懂這個平台，也不打算使用。
這個經驗帶給 Ruby 非常重要的 takeaway，產品要解決的真的是使用者遇到的痛點嗎？產品的設計真的有最好的使用者體驗嗎？還是又帶來了新的痛點呢？Ruby 認為 PM 必須不斷去找供需兩邊的平衡點，挖掘出最核心的痛點並產生影響力，如此一來，才能真正被稱為一個好功能。
PM 最需要的透明溝通
PM 作為各個角色之間的協調斡旋角色，溝通是工作的一大部分。身為 PM 的 Ruby 分享道，當初面試 17LIVE 時非常透明的溝通經驗，讓他印象很深刻。實際進到 17LIVE 後，全公司的 All-hands meeting 讓每個人都可以發言問 CEO、主管們任何問題，不管是自身的工作內容或是整間公司發展的問題，都可以交流和獲得解答，這樣的文化讓 Ruby 覺得很珍貴。
除此之外，團隊對於嘗試新事物的熱忱也很有感染力。Ruby 回憶兩年前 17LIVE 剛剛導入 OKR 的績效管理方式，當時公司內部就有一陣討論的熱潮，團隊夥伴們都很熱衷並擁抱改變，共事時也都是以目標為第一優先，就算是跨 function 的溝通也都可以很順暢。
Sammy Ruby 給工程師、產品人的面試技巧建議
隨著企業規模的增長，17LIVE 很期待新鮮人的加入可以為公司帶來新的火花，近期也在招募各項的工程人才。本身就是工程師的 Sammy 分享自己在面試新夥伴時，除了基本的技術能力以外，也很重視對方的兩個能力：溝通：當跨國協作成為日常，工程師不僅是要與台灣的夥伴溝通，也有很多跨國共事的機會，靈活的溝通能力可以說是基本要求。主動學習：受益於自主學習良多的 Sammy 非常重視夥伴是否能夠主動學習新事物、主動去找資源，「你不能中斷你的學習。」Sammy 強調。他會在面試時邀請對方分享自己近期看的書或是文章，來觀察面試者是否有保持學習的習慣。
身為 PM 的 Ruby 則分享，除了「解決問題」這個必備條件以外，他也列舉了幾項 17LIVE 產品團隊重視的技能：快速 pickup：直播平台的功能非常多元，彼此也有複雜的互動機制，產品團隊的夥伴必須要能夠很快速地了解和上手。User behavior data-driven：如同前面提到的，永遠把使用者需求放在第一，並同時考量質化與量化的研究結果，持續打造使用者最需要的產品。
Ruby 也提供所有準備應徵 PM 的聽眾一個面試的建議：回答前先清楚定義問題。Ruby 說道自己面試求職者時的提問，其實沒有期待對方要馬上回答，他反而會希望面試者可以追問「為什麼要做這件事」，同時在論述自己的回答時，可以清楚地展現自己對於 user story journey 的理解，並舉例自己會用什麼樣的數據去追蹤 before 和 after，如此一來便可以展現這位面試者身為一位 PM 的能力。

Dear Mr. Steven,
My name is Nathan L. Reynolds - a final year student majoring in Finance at UT Austin. I’m writing in support of my application for the Investment Banking Summer Analyst Program at Cowen where I would love to pursue my dream and build my career.
My fascination with finance and banking started at an early age, which motivates me to enroll in UT Austin and enables me to complete the Insights Programme for first-year students at McKinsey. The program gave me exposure to the fundamentals of financial analysis and modeling, value interest, and equity research. I am also predicted to graduate with first-class honors since I have an excellent record of academic achievement, with 8 A* and 2 A grades at the GCSE level.
Besides that, I'm an active participant in many clubs and organizations which demonstrates the team player skills you are looking for.
An opportunity to complete the internship at Cowen would be a dream come true for me. I would be happy to answer any questions you have in person or online, at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration!

J. P. Morgan270 Park Ave., New York, NY, 10017
Dear Recruiter,
My name is Yousuf Kadir and I am currently a sophomore at Northwestern University studying Economics and Business. I was recently introduced to J.P. Morgan’s sophomore investment banking program via Ian Chan and was impressed with what I learned of J.P. Morgan’s competitive and collaborative culture. I am interested in pursuing an investment banking summer analyst position at your firm.
I have previously completed an internship at Aurora Investment Management, a hedge fund of funds in Chicago. Through this experience, I worked on managing projects and analyzing financial analyses. From this, I have learned skills including attention to detail and analytical skills, thus the relevant experience to pursue a career in banking.
Given my background at Aurora Investment Management and my attention to detail and analytical skills, I am particularly a good fit for the investment banking analyst position at your firm. I am impressed by the track record of J.P. Morgan, the responsibilities given to an investment banking summer analyst, and I look forward to joining and contributing to your firm.
I would welcome an opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you and learn more about J.P. Morgan at your earliest convenience. I can be reached at 847.486.1424 or via email at [email protected]. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply for the Summer Analyst Programme as advertised on the TARGETjobs website. I am in the final year of my BSc in Electrical Electronic Engineering course at the University of Nottingham with plans to begin an MSc in Finance in 2015. I am seeking my first internship towards a career in investment banking (MA) and I feel, with my detail-oriented nature and my quantitative and technical background as an engineer, I am prepared for the highly quantitative and analytically demanding finance environment.
Like in engineering, investment banking, in particular MA, is another way of creating synergy i.e. the interaction of elements (companies) that when combined are greater as a whole, than individually, and this is what draws me to this field. I am excited by the prospect of finding more cost-effective, efficient, and profitable ways for companies, by integrating, to operate and provide services.
The experience on numerous projects during my education has developed my ability to think critically, conduct research, write reports and communicate effectively, for example prior to my enrollment in the university, I was part of a team that worked with Fairline Boats Ltd to develop a 3D storyboard and simulation for the advertising campaign of their new boat. I was exposed to different new and innovative technologies in which I had to assimilate quickly, identify issues and propose solutions.
I hope that, on consideration of my attached CV, you will feel that I have the skills and experience to succeed in your summer analyst programme and become a valued member of Morgan Stanley.
I very much look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Source: Cover letter for an internship position at Morgan StanleyHow to Write an Investment Banking Cover LetterBelow you will find essential parts that make up a great investment analyst cover letter, including tips for writing each part.
✍🏻 Adopt a standard cover letter format.
The 6 sections that need to be included in a cover letter format for investment banking positions are:
Letter header - Provide the personal and contact info of the sender (you), date, and the recipient (recruiter, employer, or hiring manager).Salutation - Start with Dear, Hi, or Hello, and address the receiver directly.Introduction paragraph - Introduce who you are and mention which position you're applying for.Body paragraph(s) - Explain your motivation to apply and what makes you the best fit.Closing paragraph - Remind the reader to review the attached files and express your gratitude.Signature - End the application letter with a proper sign-off and use your real name.
✍🏻 Express your interest in the role and your enthusiasm for investment banking.
This marks the difference between an investment analyst cover letter vs a resume. A resume only mentions your educational qualification and professional experience while an investment banking cover letter further explains your interest in the job.
“Passion will get you the job.” This is especially true when you're writing an investment banking internship cover letter. Think carefully about what you are truly passionate about instead of what you think the hiring manager expects to read. In such an increasingly competitive market like investment banking, it’s passion and personality that help entry-level candidates and juniors get a leg up on the competition.
✍🏻 Explain why you are an ideal candidate.
Here are a few tips:
Use quantified results to elaborate on your experiences and accomplishments, for example: “In the last role at LTA Inc, I’ve supported IPO initialization for 8 startups onto NYSE and Nasdaq.”Insert positive words to describe yourself, such as: capable of, able to, dependable, energetic, flexible, etc.Mention what you can do to bring value to the firm. Check out the Goldman Sachs cover letter example: “With plenty of experience in foreign investment and finding funds for domestic startup capital, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your investment plans for the coming year at Goldman Sachs.”
✍🏻 Finish with a strong CTA.
In the final paragraph of your investment analyst cover letter, make sure you’ve inserted a strong CTA (call-to-action) to remind the employer to review your application and speak with you further regarding the job opportunity. By doing so, you can show them your motivation to apply and interest in the role, as well as give them a push to reach out to you for an interview.
✍🏻 Don’t forget to attach your resume/CV.
A cover letter is generally submitted as part of your job application (alongside your resume or CV). Hence, keep in mind to attach your documents to the email and make sure the files should be named consistently and properly.

Tips on How to Write a Cover Letter for Investment Banking💡 Focus on your soft skills and personal traits.
Here comes the two important factors that determine whether or not you're qualified for the role. To do so, you need to research the firm and make sure you can fit into the corporate culture.
Here are some must-have soft skills for your investment banking cover letter:Stay calm under pressureWork well in a teamHonesty IntegrityRelationship building skillsDiscipline
💡 Be brief but engaging.
As a general rule of thumb, your investment analyst cover letter should range between 200-350 words. If it's too short, the hiring manager may think that you didn't put much effort into it or don't have many things to show. On the other hand, a cover letter exceeding 400 words can seem too long and make recruiters miss important points. Be brief and direct with your point to keep their attention.
💡 Mention any referrals or mutual networks.
As networking is especially essential within financial services, you can get a leg up on the competition by including any referrals or mutual networks in your investment banking cover letter.
Example of a successful cover letter for JP Morgan internship program, with a referral:“I was recently introduced to J.P. Morgan’s sophomore investment banking program via Ian Chan and was impressed with what I learned of J.P. Morgan’s competitive and collaborative culture.”
💡 Be confident, but do not over-exaggerate.
Confidence is key in job hunting and can be conveyed through your writing. To keep that positivity throughout your investment banking cover letter, here are a few tips without overdoing it:
Avoid overusing phrases like “excellent", “think outside of the box”, “strategic thinker", “expert", etc.Admit that you haven't gained plenty of work experience or significant achievementsWilling to take on any challenges as a newbie
💡Utilize bullet points.
Consider using bullet points when writing your investment banking cover letter and resume. That will make it easy to read for employers and save a lot of space.

The Guide to Singapore Average Salary 2024: Economic Overview, Skills-in-demand, Cost of Living, Find Jobs
Average Salary in SingaporeSingapore has propelled itself to the forefront of global development as a regional and global hub of innovation, finance, and technological breakthroughs. A rising economy in Asia with a population exceeding 5,000,000, over 30% of which are foreigners, Singapore is an attractive destination for students and professionals seeking to make a life for themselves in one of the financial and economic centers of Asia and the world. The average salary in Singapore across all professions is around SGD70,000 a year, but this figure can vary largely when considering the average salaries of different professions.
Are you considering making the move to one of Asia’s most prominent and innovative countries? Or, are you a professional already working in Singapore and wish to know how your salary compares against the industry average income standards in Singapore? This article aims to provide readers with a better understanding of the working and salary landscape in Singapore through a top-down examination of Singapore’s economic landscape, salary statistics for the most popular professions, and factors that can cause the average incomes in Singapore to wax and wane.

Economic Overview of Singapore
heritage.org
The World Bank has classified Singapore as a high-income country and acknowledges that its economy is one of the most competitive in the world—the average annual salary in Singapore.
While many high-competition industries drive the country’s economic success, the financial industry has made Singapore one of the powerhouses of the Southeast Asian region as well as the world and is responsible for Singapore's high average annual income compared to other Asian nations. The period of rapid industrialization in the 1970s that many Asian countries, such as Taiwan and the Republic of Korea, also happened in Singapore; during this time, Singapore was still in the process of acclimating to its newly established statehood and formed its economy around the goods manufacturing and services sectors which, to this day, continue to support its economy to a great extent.
In more recent years, while the financial sector has contributed, on average, 5.9% economic growth year on year, Singapore has made concerted efforts to assert itself as the financial hub of Asia through the “Asia’s Infrastructure Exchange” initiative. This program, launched in 2017, aims to link its strong and experienced infrastructure development sector with its growing financial industry (The World Bank, 2019). In conjunction with other Fintech and finance initiatives spearheaded by the Singaporean government, this program has cemented the financial services industry as one of the most vital for the Singaporean economy.
While the financial industry is vital, both for the country and for the world, other industries contribute to Singapore's high GDP and average salary. Singapore is a central point where many multinational companies establish headquarters due to its centrality in the region and its open economic policies that encourage and facilitate business. The healthcare, software and technology, artificial intelligence, and digital marketing industries are just a few of the many sectors gaining massive popularity within Singapore. These industries offer highly competitive average salaries in Singapore and are great attractors for foreign talent to contribute to the city-state's growing economy.
Average Salary Statistic 2023
According to SmartWealth, the average monthly income in Singapore stands at roughly 5,070 SGD a month, or around USD$3,755. While this may be the reported Singaporean average salary, the exact and final figure is highly dependent on the industry you work in, the position you hold, and your tenure at the company. Here is a more comprehensive breakdown of the average salaries in Singapore, categorized by industry, occupation, and level of education.
Break down by industries
The competitive Singaporean work environment offers extremely lucrative compensation packages for professionals working in high-return industries. Here are the average salaries in Singapore for some of the most common industries to work in within the country:
Finance: $8,190Public Administration and Education: $6,962Real Estate: $5,000Information and Communication: $7,000(Source: SmartWealth, 2022)
Break down by occupation
Taking a closer look, the occupation one holds within a sector can also greatly affect the average salary you receive in Singapore.
Managers: $10,068Professionals: $7,722Support Workers, $3,276
(Source: SmartWealth, 2022)Break down by level of education
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the level of education has a drastic impact on the average salaries in Singapore. Singapore is a meritocratic society that places heavy emphasis on the academic qualifications their working professionals possess. Here is a brief overview of how education can impact the average salaries in Singapore at each level:
Secondary: $3,276Secondary + Qualification: $4,777Tertiary Degree: $8,190
(Source: SmartWealth, 2022)Year on year, the average salaries in Singapore have experienced positive growth, reflecting the country’s ever-growing importance and dominance in international trade and economics. SmartWealth indicates that between 2021 and 2022 alone, the average salary in Singapore increased by 8.3%, which is well ahead of the global standard. With a decade of consistently high increases in average income levels, Singapore is well positioned as one of Asia’s top-performing economies and is one of the most attractive destinations for all foreign talent wishing to make the move to Asia.Factors Influencing Salaries in Singapore
Many factors influence the scope and range of the average salaries in Singapore. In this section, we will discuss the various considerations that are factored in when considering how the average income in Singapore is calculated by industry.
Industry
Different industries can have widely varying average salaries in Singapore. For example, industries that require specialized skills or are in high demand, such as the financial and healthcare sectors, may offer higher salaries relative to others. This higher average wage in Singapore comes as the country seeks to attract and retain higher-skilled talent from abroad and to incentivize local professionals to stay in the country. This higher average income in Singapore for specialized professions is good for competition, as the demand for positions is often outpaced by the availability of jobs, leading to more lucrative compensation packages and a working environment with only the most qualified professionals functioning within it.
Education and Qualifications
Individuals with higher education levels and specialized qualifications typically receive higher average salaries in Singapore. This is often because advanced degrees or industry certifications demonstrate deeper expertise and a commitment to continuous learning. Singapore’s working culture is rooted in meritocracy, which equates academic success and certifications as a metric of qualification for a position. This means that employers are willing to pay a higher average salary in Singapore for individuals who bring advanced knowledge and skills to the country and workplace.
Experience
Work experience is another crucial factor that determines average incomes in Singapore. Generally, professionals with more years of experience have a proven track record of success and are seen as active and valuable contributors to a company. Their accumulated knowledge and expertise make them more attractive to employers, justifying, on average, a higher salary. In certain industries, such as the financial and technological development sectors, specific work experiences, such as leadership roles or project management, may also further enhance a professional’s earning potential.
Skills and Expertise
The demand for specific skills and expertise is another factor influencing average salary levels in Singapore. In industries where certain skills are in high demand and short supply, professionals possessing skills in high demand can negotiate higher salaries. The world is in a constant and rapid state of modernization and development, with new industry standards emerging year on year. Technological advancements and industry trends can rapidly change the demand for specific skills, making it essential for professionals to stay abreast of the latest developments to maintain their earning potential.
Negotiation Skills
An individual's ability to effectively negotiate during the job application process can significantly impact the final salary and overall compensation package. Negotiation skills are crucial in ensuring that professionals are adequately compensated for their skills and experience. The average income in Singapore, while competitive, can easily be exceeded through a successful negotiation process, and can result in a more favorable salary, additional benefits, or other perks. It is important for professionals interested in moving to Singapore to research industry standards and be confident in defending their value to the employer during negotiations.
If you would like to improve your negotiation skills and secure a higher salary than the average income for your industry in Singapore, check out this article explaining everything you need to know about negotiation tactics and strategies!
For open positions in highly competitive work environments, it is natural that only the most qualified and top-performing candidates will make it through to the final stages of the interview process. One of the most effective ways to edge out your competition is to have strong negotiation and interpersonal skills.Interpersonal skills are those which you employ to create strong and clear channels of communication between you and your colleagues; having strong interpersonal skills makes you an easier person to work with, a more reliable employee, and an all-around better representative of the company you work for.
While many may overlook interpersonal skills as a low-priority skill to have, it is one that many employers place a much higher level of importance on than many expect. For the very highest-performing companies in Singapore, employees can earn much higher than the Singaporean average income for their industries if they are both highly qualified and easy to work with!Cost of Living in Singapore
The cost of living in Singapore can vary highly depending on many factors, including the area within the city you reside in, the size of your home, the number of dependents you have, and the general lifestyle choices you make throughout the month. Generally speaking, the average salary in Singapore is more than enough to accommodate a modest lifestyle, if not more. In this section, we will take the average monthly salary in Singapore and break down costs that you can expect to incur throughout the month!

Top Required Skills in Singapore 2024
Research the Job Market
Understanding the current dynamics of the job market is crucial before embarking on a job search. Those on the job hunt should invest time in researching industry-specific reports and market analyses to identify growth areas and sectors for the most potential opportunities. This research has the added benefit of allowing individuals to best align their skills and qualifications with the current demands of their chosen industry, increasing the likelihood of landing a position that is in line with current market needs.
Conducting job market research also entails a thorough investigation into potential companies that you envision yourself working at. Important features about the company, such as working culture, average salaries, and company values and goals, are strong points for consideration that may sway the final decision of committing to an offer, should it arrive. What is more, this information helps interested job applicants tailor their applications to the specific needs and ethos of each organization, increasing the likelihood of being considered a good fit for the company.
Salary Expectations
Researching salary ranges for a desired position within the Singaporean job market is essential for informed job negotiations. Understanding the average salary rate in Singapore for a particular position helps applicants set realistic salary expectations and positions them well during salary discussions. This knowledge is especially crucial in a competitive job market and for foreigners who may not be aware of average income rates for jobs in Singapore, enabling them to negotiate a compensation package that reflects their skills and experience.
Cultural Sensitivity
For foreigners seeking employment in Singapore, cultural sensitivity is one of the most important things to take into consideration when entering the job market. Familiarizing oneself with the cultural nuances of the Singaporean workplace demonstrates respect for local customs and business etiquette.
This understanding is all the more important once you factor in that Singapore is one of the most culturally diverse cities on Earth, with foreign workers representing almost every country in the world. Having a high level of cultural sensitivity and understanding can positively influence interactions with colleagues, superiors, and clients at every level within the Singaporean job market. It also contributes to a much smoother integration into the workplace, fostering better relationships and enhancing the overall work experience for foreign employees.Conclusion
Singapore is one of the world’s most competitive economies, and compensation packages offered by top companies are unrivaled anywhere else in the world. The average salaries in Singapore are highly dependent on many factors, including the industry of work, specific occupations within a sector, and the overall academic qualification and experience you possess.

10 Best Locations & Companies for Offshore Software Development
In this article, we'll cover:Nearshore vs OffshoreWhat to Consider When Hiring Offshore Development CompaniesBest Software Outsourcing DestinationsTop 10 Offshore Development CompaniesThe software development industry is booming. It's no secret that companies are looking for the best locations and providers for offshore software development as there are many benefits to software developers from offshore locations.
For one thing, you gain access to a much larger talent pool, which allows you to find the best and most qualified individuals for your project. Additionally, offshore developers typically have more experience and expertise with specific programming languages and technologies.
But the question is, what makes a good offshore software development location? And more importantly, how do you find the right provider who will work well with your existing team?
An important consideration for many businesses is the cost; if you are located in a country with high labor costs, hiring offshore can often be more affordable than finding candidates locally.
There are numerous locations around the world where you can find great offshore software developers.
Some of the best countries for this include India, Taiwan, Poland, Brazil, and Argentina. Each of these regions has its own strengths in terms of programming skills and technological expertise.
Additionally, they offer various price points depending on what type of developer you need and what level of experience you require. Ultimately, when done correctly, hiring offshore software developers can open up a world of possibilities for your business or organization!
In this article, we'll cover the difference between offshore and nearshore development, things to consider when hiring offshore developers, as well as top 10 countries and top 10 companies that provide offshore development services.Nearshore vs OffshoreBefore we dive into the details of how to hire and where to find offshore software development teams, let's talk about how offshore development is different from nearshore development services, another common form of software development outsourcing.
As the name suggests, the most obvious distinction is where the outsourced development service is provided. Offshore software development outsourcing is the practice of hiring a company or individuals in a faraway country to handle all or part of the software development process.
Nearshore software development services, on the other hand, are provided by companies or individuals who are based in a neighboring country.
Let's look at the pros and cons of both.
🎯 Offshore software development
✅ Pros:
Offshore development breaks down the geographic barriers of hiring software development talent, which means you get to tap into a global talent pool and find talent in countries with a lower cost of living.
If you want to save on development costs without sacrificing quality, offshore development can be a cost-effective way to get the job done.
❌ Cons:
The main downside of offshore development is the time difference. If you're working with a team in a country that is far away, it can be difficult to coordinate schedules and stay on the same page.
Additionally, language barriers can make communication more difficult, leading to potential misunderstandings or miscommunications.
🎯 Nearshore software development
✅ Pros:
Since nearshore software development services are provided in a country close to where you are located, there is typically less of a time difference to contend with.
It would make frequent physical visits possible, which can be beneficial for building trust and maintaining transparency between you and the team. You'll also likely have a smoother and more efficient communication during the software development process.❌ Cons:
The main downside of nearshore development is that it may be more expensive than offshore development due to the convenience factor, depending on the country you're working with. Additionally, if you're looking for developers with specific expertise or experience, you may have a limited pool to choose from, compared to offshore development.
What to Consider When Hiring Offshore Development CompaniesTo find out whether offshore software development is the right outsourcing model for your company, you must carefully consider the following 5 factors.
✅ Location
Depending on your company's needs, you'll want to consider which country or region offers the best talent for your project. You'll also want to take into account the time difference, language barriers, local laws, and cultural differences that may impact your software development project.
✅ Cost
Aside from the hourly rates, you might also want to consider the cost of living in the country you're outsourcing to.
In general, countries with a lower cost of living will also have lower hourly rates for developers, which means that if two developers from different countries have the same hourly rates, it is likely that the one from the country with the lower cost of living will be able to provide more value for your money.
✅ Skills and Expertise
Before hiring offshore software developers, consider what skills and expertise are required for your project.
You might also want to design a thorough interview process to test for the required skills and expertise. Since you won't be able to manage offshore developers as closely, soft skills such as good communication, problem-solving, and time management skills are essential.
✅ Security Issues
When dealing with sensitive data, you'll want to make sure that your chosen offshore development team has strict security protocols in place.
You should also consider signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect your company's intellectual property.
✅ Management and Communication Issues
One of the challenges of working with an offshore team is managing and communicating effectively. Make sure to set clear expectations from the start and establish a good communication channel.
You might also want to consider hiring a project manager who is familiar with offshore development processes and local laws to act as a liaison between you and your team.
Best Software Outsourcing Destinations📍 Taiwan
✅ Pros:
Well known for its democracy and political stability, Taiwan is an excellent destination for companies looking for reliable and high-quality offshore software development teams. With affordable higher education,
Taiwan has a large pool of skilled developers to choose from. There are also several science and technology parks in Taiwan that are home to many tech companies, providing a good environment for software development.
❌ Cons:
The main downside of outsourcing software development to Taiwan is the language barrier and time zone difference. While most developers in Taiwan achieve professional proficiency in English, they might not speak English as fluently as native speakers.
Additionally, the time difference between Taiwan and most Western countries is 12 hours, which can make communication and coordination a challenge.
📍 India
✅ Pros:
India is one of the most popular destinations for offshore software development due to its large pool of skilled and English-speaking developers. Apart from that, according to Numbeo, India has an average cost of living that is 64% lower than in the US, which means that companies can get more value for their money when outsourcing to India.
❌ Cons:
One of the challenges of outsourcing to India is the time difference. With an average time difference of nine hours between India and the US, coordination and communication can be a challenge.
Additionally, developers in India may not be familiar with Western business culture, which can lead to misunderstandings.
📍 Indonesia✅ Pros:
Indonesia is another good destination for companies looking for affordable offshore software developers. According to Payscale, the average salary for developers in Indonesia is $8400, which is about 10% of the US average. This means that with the same amount of money, you can get almost 10 times as much work done in Indonesia.
❌ Cons:
Indonesia is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, with over 700 languages spoken. While Indonesia software developers are certainly familiar with technical terms of their expertise and have no problem communicating in a professional setting in English, English is not the language primarily used in academia/most industries. This can make communications somewhat difficult for companies looking to outsource software development.
📍 Vietnam✅ Pros:
Vietnam is also a good country for companies looking for offshore software development teams. Vietnam has a growing IT infrastructure and education system that grows IT talent and professionals.
Additionally, the average salary for developers in Vietnam is around USD $2000 per year, according to data from Glassdoor.
❌ Cons:
One downside of outsourcing to Vietnam is that the country is going through a period of political and economic instability.
In 2016, Vietnam experienced its worst economic downturn since the global financial crisis, and the country is still recovering.
📍 Philippines
✅ Pros:
The Philippines is a good location for companies looking for offshore software developers who are familiar with Western culture. Historically, the Philippines has a strong tie with the US so it comes as no surprise that English is one of the official languages in the Philippines, making communication much easier.
❌ Cons:
Even today, the internet in the Philippines can be unstable and slow. According to this article titled "Why Internet Speeds in the Philippines Are So Slow" , the Philippines ranks 100th globally with its internet speed, far behind most other countries on the list.
This can be a risk factor when outsourcing software development to the Philippines as a slow internet connection can have a huge impact on the productivity of the software development process.
📍 Bangladesh
✅ Pros:
Bengali developers are readily accessible on some of the most popular outsourcing platforms such as Upwork and Fiverr. The rates are quite affordable and the quality of work is generally good, thanks to the popularity of software development outsourcing and the expanding IT industry in the country.
❌ Cons:
Language may be a barrier as not all Bengali developers are fluent in English. In addition, the time difference between Bangladesh and some Western countries can be as much as 12 hours, which can make coordination and communication difficult.
📍 Poland
✅ Pros:
A long-time top destination of IT outsourcing in Central Europe, Poland boasts a large and experienced software development workforce.
Additionally, the average cost of living in Poland is significantly lower than in Western European countries, making it an attractive location for companies looking to get more value for their money in the European Union.
❌ Cons:
Due to its popularity, hourly rates for software developers may be higher than that of India, Vietnam and other Asian countries.
📍 Czech Republic
✅ Pros:
With one of the lowest costs of living in Europe, the Czech Republic is an excellent destination for companies looking for affordable offshore software developers.
Many Czech developers are also multilingual and speak Russian, German, or Polish, which can be helpful for international teams or countries looking to expand into other European markets.
❌ Cons:
The Czech Republic has a smaller pool of developers to choose from than other outsourcing destinations, primarily because of its small population.
📍 Argentina
✅ Pros:
Located in South America, Argentina is a good location for companies looking for Spanish-speaking or Italian-speaking offshore software developers.
If you’re located in the US or Canada, the time difference is not as significant as it is with other outsourcing destinations, such as India, which makes co-working and communication much easier.
❌ Cons:
English is not as widely spoken in Argentina as it is in other outsourcing destinations. Research shows that only around 15% of people can speak English fluently in Argentina. This can make communication difficult for companies that don't speak Spanish or Italian, the country's second most spoken language.
📍 Brazil
✅ Pros:
Brazil is another country to consider for companies looking for offshore software or nearshore developers. The country has a large and experienced workforce, with over two million people employed in the IT industry. Time zone difference is not a big issue if you're hiring from the US or Canada, as Brazil is only an hour ahead of the US.
❌ Cons:
The cost of living in Brazil can be expensive, especially in big cities such as Sao Paulo. In addition, the Brazilian government has been known to impose strict regulations on IT companies, which can impact the way they operate.

This format requires you to list your work experience in chronological order. This format shows the timeline of your career trajectory and allows the recruiters to see what this role means to you. This can be a great musician resume format because a musician is a profession based on building and drilling skills daily. From the request of composer CV, music producer CV, and musical theatre CV, you may see that an emphasis on the CV means the music industry highly values experience accumulation.
📝 Functional resume format:
A functional music resume format emphasizes what you can do instead of what you have done. This format presents you as a competitive candidate even if you have a lack of work experience. By showing the recruiters you have the ability to execute what the role demands, you are qualified.
📝 Combinational resume format:
A combinational resume format combines the advantages of the above-mentioned formats. In other words, it can help present your experiences chronologically while organizing your abilities.

5. Skills
The skills section on the pianist resume, violist resume, or musician resume, in general, is crucial but difficult to describe.

Further reading:Cake’s culture is rooted in the entrepreneurial spirit of our founder, TrantorBuilding on this foundation, our culture grows from the mindset of “Think Big. Start Small. Act Fast.” into four Cultural Values and Core Competencies:#1 Think Big - First Principles ThinkingBefore pursuing innovation, we must first understand the fundamental principles of how things work.At Cake, we constantly challenge our limits and unlock potential. Only by breaking free from conventional frameworks can we create new possibilities. Both in science and entrepreneurship, the concept ofFirst Principles Thinkingis often emphasized—a method that strips away assumptions and traces back to fundamental truths and principles.This deep understanding and essence-driven exploration form the cornerstone of innovation, enabling us to approach challenges and opportunities with more effective and creative solutions instead of being constrained by existing norms.
#2 Start Small - Lead through ActionBottom-up decision-making helps the company continuously innovate and accelerates individual growth.With transparent and accessible information, anyone can leverage insights to make decisions that benefit the company. Before making a decision, given our culture of continuous and timely feedback, decision-makers can gather ideas from others, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes.Ideas have no value until they are put into practice. We embrace the MVP mindset.We encourage everyone to quickly turn their ideas into a minimum viable product—whether it’s a pitch deck, an ad, a landing page, or an email template—and bring it to market to receive the most authentic feedback.#3 Win Together - Collaborative CommunicationWith a high density of talent, transparent information creates opportunities.At Cake, we freely share information with others and expect that this flow will spark valuable discussions. This openness applies across the entire company, not just within individual teams.Honest and direct feedback among team members (given with good intentions) improves collaboration and reduces decision-making errors.Effective feedback should follow four principlesAim to assist
Be actionableExpress gratitude when receiving criticismYou may choose whether to adopt or disregard the feedback.#4 Drive Impact - Pursuing Great OutcomesAs a popular saying in the startup world goes: “Go big, or go home.”Peter Thiel, inZero to One, emphasizes that true innovation should be market-dominating; the best competition is no competition at all. The goal of entrepreneurship is to create a monopoly, not engage in zero-sum competition. We constantly strive to tackle big problems and generate market impact.“If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not doing enough.”Mistakes are an inevitable byproduct of pursuing impact. We should view them as part of the experimentation process. The key is to learn from them and avoid repeating the same errors—there’s no need for harsh judgment.Benefits PerksCake’s benefits and activities are organized into three main areas, designed to help everyone work and live comfortably while continuing to learn and grow:Work-Life Balance

With the participation of 100+ talent, the speakers shared valuable insights about Micron’s mission, values, and job opportunities while also offering practical tips for international talent interested in working in Taiwan.Micron, a pioneer in the semiconductor industry, began its story back in 1978 as a four-person company in the basement of a Boise, Idaho dental office. It now has manufacturing sites in many regions, including Manassas (USA), Xi’an (China), Hiroshima (Japan), Taichung and Taoyuan (Taiwan), Muar and Penang (Malaysia), Gujarat (India), and Singapore (Singapore).
Their journey has been marked by brilliant advancements in memory and storage solutions. “Micron has achieved 57,000+ patents,” proudly shared Kondoju. “Our key to success is cross-border diversity as we are actively sharing our domain expertise with 48,000+ team members spanning across the globe.” He also emphasized Micron’s commitment to sustainability and being a green company. “Taiwan has strict regulations and compliance when it comes to producing anything affecting the environment,” he said.

Global Talent Connect | Malaysians Exploring Careers: Dozens of Talents Joining, with Many Insights Shared by Industry Experts
Cake hosted a Global Talent Connect event on July 31, 2024, bringing together dozens of talent coming from Malaysia and sharing our insights on topics like post-graduation work in Taiwan, the experience of returning home as international students with the participation of professionals working in both regions.As Taiwan welcomes many overseas students coming to its region to study and explore career opportunities post-graduation, it attracts thousands of students from Malaysia to come and study in Taiwan, mainly in arts and humanities fields, services, business, administration, and law. To encourage talent retention and align immigration policy with the current labor market demands, the government has introduced the Scoring Criteria for Foreign and Overseas Chinese Students to Work in Taiwan, leading to many Malaysian students opting to stay and work here. For graduands, the decision to stay in Taiwan or return to their home in Malaysia is critical; either way, they will have to lay the groundwork for their future carefully. Many students are on the fence.
Understanding these difficult choices to make, Cake, the global talent network, hosted a Talent Connect event, inviting professionals—Jsean (柯典均), Bing Fung (馮文彬), and Cheryl Chong (張惠絲) to come and share about their journey, as well as their advice for the graduands joining our event.
The event has attracted more than 30 Malaysian talent gathered at Cake’s Event Space (located near Nanjing Fuxing Station, Taipei, Taiwan) to explore their career potential and expand their network.
Participants were introduced to job opportunities in Taiwan, where companies like Cake or Family Mart is actively seeking foreign talent to join their teams, and in Malaysia, where big names like MSI welcome fresh graduates with experience overseas, adding diversity to their team culture.
Our panelists also shared their personal experiences and analytics working at global platforms like Cake, Tata Consultancy Services, Compal Electronics, and fashion brand agencies, offering more insights for participants to decide whether to work in Taiwan or return to Malaysia.
At the end of the event, our host — Coco Yap, who is a Taiwanese Malaysian, shared the Returning Expert Program, an initiative from the Malaysian government to support Malaysian talent in exploring careers in their home county.
The event ran smoothly as planned, down to the last detail. We’ve received positive feedback from our participants. We’re looking forward to hosting similar Talent Connect events that can connect talent with opportunities.
A big thank you to our strategic partners: The Malaysia Student Association in Taiwan (MSAIT 馬來西亞旅台同學會), Youth of Malaysia 大馬青年, and our sponsor 吧生仔大馬料理店, without whom this event wouldn’t have been possible.

Tidak ada iklan lowongan kerja yang sempurna, tapi Anda perlu menghindari kesalahan penulisan yang berpotensi mengurangi minat kandidat untuk melamar. Cake merangkum ada 5 kesalahan penulisan yang cukup sering ditemui di iklan lowongan kerja. Hindari 5 kesalahan ini agar iklan lowongan pekerjaan perusahaan Anda lebih efektif menarik kandidat.
1. Penulisan Gimmick dan Bias
Hindari penulisan gimmick di iklan lowongan kerja karena bisa mengurangi kesan profesional dan menurunkan kepercayaan calon kandidat terhadap rekruter. Penulisan gimmick juga dapat mengurangi efektivitas iklan karena pemilihan kata-kata gimmick umumnya tidak terindeks di mesin pencari.
Selain gimmick, pastikan iklan lowongan Anda bebas dari bias, baik terkait gender, usia, maupun latar belakang tertentu. Hal ini bertujuan untuk menciptakan kesempatan yang setara bagi seluruh calon pelamar.
2. Menulis Deskripsi Pekerjaan dan Kualifikasi Terlalu Panjang
Hindari penulisan deskripsi pekerjaan dan kualifikasi yang terlalu panjang dan bertele-tele. Deskripsi pekerjaan yang terlalu panjang tidak hanya menurunkan minat kandidat, tapi juga menyulitkan kandidat menemukan informasi penting. Selain itu, deskripsi yang berlebihan bisa menciptakan kesan bahwa perusahaan tidak tahu persis kandidat seperti apa yang dicari.
Sementara kualifikasi yang terlalu panjang berpotensi mengurangi jumlah kandidat yang ingin melamar. Penting untuk tetap berfokus pada kualifikasi prioritas yang benar-benar penting dan relevan untuk posisi tersebut.
Hindari juga menuliskan kualifikasi general dunia kerja seperti “mampu bekerja di bawah tekanan” atau “mampu memprioritaskan pekerjaan untuk memenuhi deadline ketat”.

3. Penggunaan Bahasa Terlalu Kasual
Mayoritas iklan lowongan kerja terbaru menghindari penggunaan bahasa yang terlalu kasual. Hal ini dikarenakan gaya bahasa kasual dapat memunculkan kesan kurang profesional dan mengurangi kredibilitas perusahaan di mata pencari kerja.
Menghindari penggunaan bahasa kasual juga dapat melindungi perusahaan dari kandidat yang tidak serius atau kurang memenuhi standar profesionalitas yang diinginkan.
4. Tidak Mencantumkan Informasi Lengkap
Iklan lowongan kerja yang tidak mencantumkan informasi lengkap cenderung tidak diminati oleh pencari kerja. Kurangnya informasi di iklan lowongan berpotensi membuat kandidat merasa ragu, menganggap iklan tidak transparan, atau perusahaan tidak serius dalam mencari karyawan.
Untuk menghindari hal ini, Anda bisa menggunakan panduan penulisan iklan lowongan kerja sesuai struktur yang telah dibahas di awal artikel.
5. Menuliskan Peraturan Perusahaan
Hindari menulis peraturan atau kebijakan perusahaan pada iklan lowongan. Anda tidak perlu menuliskan deskripsi peraturan kehadiran dan detail kebijakan lainnya yang tidak relevan. Peraturan dan kebijakan internal perusahaan dapat dijelaskan lebih lanjut saat tahap offering atau saat onboarding.
Alih-alih menuliskan peraturan, Anda bisa berfokus pada aspek-aspek yang menarik dari posisi atau pekerjaan yang ditawarkan, seperti prospek karir, lingkungan kerja sehat, dan berbagai manfaat yang ditawarkan.
