36 years old this year... Currently on 200k odd p.a. Prefer to stay
HDB and relax. Head not big enough for private property.
Have been in Banking industry or related industry since
ORD.
Currently not in bank anymore but more like a vendor supporting banking system, not a big company, just a small local startup.
Before I left the bank (US bank), i am on 150k p.a exclude bonus etc. It was a cushy job except the long hour (you reap what you sow). Reason why I left is because I knew I am unable to progress much faster because banks, being banks, like to groom their management associates into top role. I do not have any good degree (distance learning) to compete with people with high class honors from
NUS etc. Disheartened after a while because after all the hard work you put in, these
MAs just package it up and gain the credit.
Left with a heavy heart because i really learn a lot of things in this US bank, no though long hours but you gained a lot of knowledge and get to know a lot of friends.
