Generally speaking, any international job needs at least 5-6 years of experience for the company to consider foreigners. Having an MBA, Ph.D., and BE degree does not mean that you would be considered a potential candidate for an international job.
The first step that companies in Singapore take is to partner with headhunting companies to find local talents. They will initially try to find local Singaporeans. If they do not find a potential Singaporean, then they will explore foreigners who are currently working in Singapore. This is because local talent is cost-effective and can easily adapt to the culture and environment. There are likely plenty of them available.
If local talents in Singaporeans and foreigners are not found, then companies will seek talents in other countries. When searching for talents in other countries, the company must ensure they hire a highly experienced candidate. Therefore, the criteria for experience are crucial. Many job sites require at least 6+ years of relevant experience for hiring foreigners.
However, there can be a bit of a shortcut that I can advise you on. You can consider pursuing training and certifications. Focus only on certifications that hold international value, especially in Singapore. Conduct some research online for this purpose. For example, Product Management, TOGAF, and SAP certifications are highly valued in the industry. These certifications will set you apart from the crowd and establish you as a potential candidate for employers.
