Here Are the Top 10 IT Jobs in Singapore You Need to Pursue
Entry-level IT jobs in Singapore are aplenty. According to a CNA article (Tang See Kit and Rachel Phua) published in November 2020, informed observers say that information and communication are among the sectors in Singapore that continue to grow steadily. Further cementing the secure status of the IT industry, the CNA article also mentions Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat's statement at an Industry 4.0 trade show in October 2020. He maintained that Singapore is focused on growing its robotics base, among others.
IT companies have responded accordingly by expanding their manpower. Below are the top 10 IT jobs in Singapore best suited for fresh graduates:

UX (user experience) is one of the bars against which the success of technology and products are measured. It is the UX designer's job to make sure that the technology and products consumers use are convenient, enjoyable, and accessible. Because it is a vital role in product teams, the salary for fresh graduates in this job is competitive.

These engineers assess and test the vulnerabilities in software and recommend steps to fortify the systems. In 2020, jobs in cybersecurity were one of the most in-demand job searches in Singapore. Given the country's focus on digitisation and technology, you can be sure that cybersecurity will remain a popular job choice among fresh graduates in 2021.

Systems analyst
A systems analyst performs audits on the IT systems their employer or clients use. They check to see if the software and hardware being used are suitable to the company's needs; if these no longer fit the company's goals, it is the systems analyst's job to recommend—and sometimes even implement—new systems.
