5.7k too low to get chop. Unlikely to get chop. But then you never know the politics. Sometimes you get chop for being in the wrong camp, wrong nationality, etc. It used to be that Singaporeans get chop first. Now anti-FT, so some companies chop FT first. Sometimes getting chop is also luck or bad luck. I know two persons got hired and then fired by Lehman before even joining them and then get a 1-yr retrenchment pay without working a single day. One found a job very soon after and another jobless for a year. Pray hard.
