Ops and tech is considered back office, where the work is unexciting and progression is slow. Consequently, it has high attrition, but those who stay 5 years or more tend to stay in a back office role for life because at the 5-year mark they have priced themselves out of the job market. CFS is slightly better, but not ideal for a long-term career in finance. Being one of the Big Three local banks, retail banking customers (aka the average Singaporean) make up a large part of the bank's revenue. But generally speaking, it is more lucrative to be financing corporates than the guy on the street. The finance knowledge and skills you learn in corporate banking are more sophisticated than in retail banking.
