I got some batchmates in OCBC tech team, lower pay, better WLB.

Then I basically rank these banks based on what I want. ( Better WLB vs better pay )

That's how I do it tbh. Glassdoor reviews imo are useless... I'm currently in a large tech company with >4.0 glassdoor rating over 30k+ reviews, almost 0 negative reviews yet everyday I see employees arguing in standup meetings and devs fighting over on-call rotations lol.

You really need to get close to your uni batch mates and keep them in touch to get all the useful info.
Do u hv friends fr DBS? How’s the WLB there?
