NUSWhispers – Confession #93867

People say NUS is a top school, but my same-age cousin went to Columbia and his starting annual salary is 200K USD at a FAANG and I’m stuck at some local finance startup being paid 5K a month. We both studied computer science. I graduated with a first and his GPA was 3.2. Are we being lied to by the SG government that a degree from NUS is good currency?
