Depends on what department, if is backend support like ITS, Finance, HR, Marketing etc. should be around 3.5k.

Thnx. Not really back end. It's in risk management area. 3.5K sounds too low for some one with that much exp...

I think associate pay is around there, maybe 4k max. But why r u applying for associate position with 7 yrs exp? I think 7 yrs should be enuff to get manager or AVP job.

I don't know guys.... i've been quoted a figure of around 7k for same experience by my friends in other banks. DBS can't be that low!

It's not that DBS is low, more like you are applying for too junior job. Associate is usually for ppl with 2-4 yrs exp, unless you are switching career mid way, i dun think 7 yrs of relevant exp should apply for associate.

I was from treasury side last time around 5yrs after graduation already manager, so I would think 7 years should be either manager or AVP. Bear in mind that titles in DBS like most banks is inflated one. Manager = Senior Executive, AVP = Assistant Manager VP = Manager etc.

I heard 4 months, which I think is not excessive given that most banks around the world have done really badly relatively.
