They are leaving from MSSQL, MYSQL, Postgres, Oracle to AWS managed databases, so your career is doomed anyway.
Highly political organization.
Your full-time counterpart in the US won't give KT but loads of work.
Based on your situation, if you still want to go for it, start searching for a job in Singapore because your time here is only 6 months.
Your contractor won't help if they are not willing to extend. Lots of people have lost their jobs and returned home.
Lots of FTE DBAs have left and have not been replaced.
Company is switching to Amazon AWS services, and their class 1 products are not stable after moving to AWS. Be ready to work over weekends and weekdays until over midnight.
Who are they? Where are they from?
