You mean the T part of S&T? From what I heard, base got bumped and in line with IBD in US. Not sure in SG. Variable depends on the revenue you can generate.

The hours are definitely shorter but calling it boring is overkill. Career path is definitely not as smooth as staying in IBD due to lesser seats these days. You could always take a MBA if you want a more traditional exit option but being in S&T generally means you are more of a risk-taker. Generally, heard that the more senior in the industry would try to negotiate with buy-side for a cut of the P/L they generate rather than a good base and variable like IBD.

Would not recommend S&T if you want job stability, having "fun" in the sense of staying in the office till 2-3am and want a "steady" exit option
