How is the market like to be a Industrial Designer (Specialised in Office System) in Singapore?
This is a question which recently I had asked myself and normally it would have lead to the next question in mind, which is "had I picked the wrong career path?"
All my life since my first step into the working society, I had fought my way to be in this industry.
With over 6 years spent in a office system furniture company, when I had peaked my career with them, I thought it would have been a good option to check out the market out of my comfort zone.
And yes, it was my comfort zone, as I soon realise that, the market for a Office System Designer here in Singapore is bleak when compared to overseas.
Recently, a company from within the same industry called me up for an interview, and from them it had further strength the word "bleak" in my mind.
Many companies out there in Singapore, are mostly distributors of other brands and had no intention or even financial means to start up their own in-house designed products.
And been a closed loop industries, it sure makes it even harder for me to pursue my passion and from time to time makes me wonder if I had made the wrong decision in the first place.
