on top of that, it is well known that majority of the FO interns in BBs here in SG come from universities outside of SG (mainly the ivy leagues and other top tier schools from the UK, Canada etc), so there is also a relocation stipend and housing on top of the base salary.

hope this adds some insight. of course, this only applies to front office (IBD, S&T, research etc) roles.
