Relative: Ah boy ar, whoa so fast you working already, where you work ar....
You: In a bank
Relative: Ah what bank, heard bank pay very well, JPmorgan citibank Credit suisse?
You: OCBC
Relative: oh local bank ah... still not bad la, what job you do?
You: operations
Relative: Oh.
Seconded. Local bank BO is dead end job with very stale career advancement prospects. Dont be fooled by the above average starting pay because you can be damn sure even a Big4 audit associate with 3k starting will earn more than you in 5 years.

Look further ahead guys, dont just tunnel vision the 3.8k starting pay.
