I want to know if any UOL grads managed to get into management associate programs at banks or managed to secure an equity or fixed income analyst position. What are your honors and starting pay?

^ probably one of the dudes who's typing the nonsense. lolllll

Always UOL vs Local University. Whats there to compare? Local Uni fresh grad will always be preferred.

But local uni backside usually not as firm and nice. True story.

always local uni vs pte uni, what is there to compare? upload your ****ing cpf statements and see who earns more isn't that better? sons of bitches.

Grad from uol in 2011 with FCH accountancy. Did insurance sales first 2 years, then moved to local bank front office for 3.5k basic. Top performers can come from pte uni or diploma holders, just need to sell and be prepared for long hours. It's not all glam in banking industry and many grads (local or pte) who signed up for management associate program, graduate associate program etc that gives them "shortcut" to management regrets signing 2 to 3 years bond once they realize they can't cope with sales pressure. You need to run sales and perform well for at least 1 year. Yes it pays them slightly better (fresh grad from 3.2k to 4k range) but many would have left if not for the bond. With that said, if you can survive 2 years in the bank, there are opportunities to move laterally into back offices dealing with operations etc.
Thread wisely. Good luck.
