Under the diploma scheme things you learn will mainly be focused on operational parts of the bank like remittance, account opening services, trade services, loan operations and what not. Life in operations is quite standard, boring work, generally no need to stay late. I expect starting pay to be around maybe 2k? increments like $100 or less a year.

Seriously recommend taking a private degree and moving out of the clerical rank structure. Also Japanese bank is not the best of places to start a banking career. Recommend taking degree after joining and moving out after finishing degree. Can join again when you are mid career.


For the AIBD guy yeah i think $3k is definitely fine and you should be able to learn quite alot whichever part of AIBD you join.
