In Singapore, customer success manager was identified as the best job, followed by infrastructure engineers, growth marketers, senior product managers, and back-end developers.

In 2023, flexible working arrangements are playing a much bigger role in the decision process, alongside growth and opportunity. As such, employers should be looking for ways to improve workplace flexibility where possible,” said Saumitra Chand, career expert at Indeed.
