so the difference in bonus is 11.5k right?

now let's compare their base
DBS = 6.5k * 12 = 78k
JP = 8k * 12 = 96k

difference is 18k

DBS total comp = 97.5k
JP total comp = 104k

crazy that people think all banks pay the same, they don't. if they did then why would anyone ever join JP? you know that they have probation and will lay you off whenever they want right? It's a American bank which is at "will" employment even if it's operating outside of homeland soil ( outside US )

DBS is NOT an American company, they don't follow a "at will" employment. They don't anyhow fire you and there's plenty of rumors saying people get "BT" rating ( below target ) and still remain in the bank for years.

Try getting a "BT" equivalent in JP, you'll be gone by March.

Foreign banks pay you a lot more ( 5 - 10k more ) than locals for a obvious reason. Also I'm being lenient in my comparison, we're assuming that you can even get 3 months bonus in DBS while 1 month bonus in JP is the lowest guaranteed standard that everyone gets.
