Deputy Manager and Manager rank equivalent is a vice president in local / foreign banks. Senior Manager is ~ SVP and AGM is equiv to about a MD. My dept head previously who was a AGM was previously a MD in DBS.

Whether your experience is transferrable to a local/foreign bank greatly depends on what function you are in. Many job agencies / recruiters know that Jap banks are usually quite relaxed and some departments don't learn much particularly ops or even Japanese corporate banking (doing more basic servicing in that dept instead). Some departments have high turnover ranks cos they usually employ fresh grads who after a year or two leave.

But there are also some aunties/uncles who have been with the bank for >30 years etc.

Overall in terms of Jap banks I would say the best benefits/life is in SMBC followed by either BTMU/Mizuho.

Mizuho has damm short working hours tho 8.30am (dun be late), to 5pm. Some lucky departments really leave at 5pm or 5+ abit damm early !!
