I see a lot of people don't seem to know much and are just anyhow humtum based on what they hear from rumors.

DBS MA is definitely not 4K, this kind of peanut they will never get anybody. Normal fresh graduate joiners already >4K, I think many ppl here are confused between MA and fresh graduate joiners who are sometimes called Associates.

DBS MA definitely at least 7k, but this program is very competitive and very few can get in. Above poster say 7.5k which definitely sounds more accurate. 8-10K is quite common in foregin banks and local banks usually lower at 7-8k. Some of the numbers here are laughable, nobody will join a MA program for 4K for christ sake.

As for Jap banks, my understanding is their basic is higher, but bonus not good.
