Working hours are ok for middle to back end. 9am to 9pm is really quite reasonable. Pay for middle to back end is around 5-6K, but expect very low increment, <$300 or stagnant.

It's not difficult to get in, you don't need 12 round or interview or graduate program.

For finance, typically, they recruit Singaporeans from big 4 but it helps when you know someone inside.

For IT, you just need to be an indian even if you are a fresh grad from 3rd rate universities.

Having said that, I don't know anyone from front office, which might have very different requirements.
