AI salaries in Singapore are rising up to five times faster than the overall wage growth.

Within the past year, pay for AI roles has climbed by about 15 to 25 per cent, with fresh hires typically starting from between $70,000 and $90,000 a year. That compares with overall wage growth of 4.9 per cent in 2025, down from 5.6 per cent the year before.

Yet at the same time, major tech firms and global banks are restructuring and cutting jobs, often citing AI as a key reason. 

So what's really driving this surge in AI salaries? Could it start reshaping wage expectations across the wider workforce? And does the promise of AI justify the growing number of layoffs we're seeing?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Rahul Chawla, Partner and Head of Talent Solutions for Southeast Asia at Aon to find out more.

Cassandra spent more than 12 years building her career at companies including FoodPanda, Chope and TripAdvisor before being retrenched in 2023. Instead of returning to corporate life, she founded OtterHalf, an award-winning fractional marketing agency.

What makes her story stand out is how Gen Z has influenced her leadership style. Rather than imposing traditional career expectations, she built a workplace centred on flexibility, purpose and continuous learning, shaped directly by her team's values and feedback.

As a mother of two young daughters, Cassandra has also begun reflecting on a bigger question: what attitudes towards work, success and ambition are today's leaders modelling for the next generation?
