Hi please don't worry about those negative news. Your stated pay is realistic and could easily pay by those foreign bank without hurting their cost of operation. It is very competitive environment to work in a bank. Always remember don't price yourself above the market rate. Lots of retrenchment in banks in recent years are due to cost cutting. You have more room to grow before you worry about the retrenchment unless you are a poor performer in your role. Sieze the opportunity to learn more and perform well.
