This stupid bank has a stupid pay structure. No matter which dept you are from, be it IB or Ops, if you are joining as a fresh grad (aka associate), there is a salary ceiling based on your GPA. So a FCH in ops can earn more than a second upper in IB. If im not mistaken, the current FCH ceiling for associate is 3.6k (unless u are from the grad program).

If you have no prior FULL TIME work experience (btw traineeship is not considered), you will only be considered for associate rank.
