DBS SEED ( high monthly pay )
1. no pay bump / title promotion, it's a contract learning job
2. no stocks, no sign bonus, etc. only pay + variable annual pay.
3. no job safety after 2 years, conversion not guaranteed.

Other Tech ( moderate monthly pay )
1. pay bump every year, title bump every 2 years or 1 year half if you're good
2. obviously stocks, bonus, WFH reimbursements, unless you pick some garbage company
3. job safety, not possible to get fired unless your entire team gets re-orged and wiped which is really rare...
