You might have higher starting pay, but you are definitely overpaid for what you are doing.

DBS is a bank that is good for stability, not for progression. it really depends on what you want and value, so it might not be the best bank to start your career at if you are really ambitious in life.
Yes, I do agree with you that DBS is a bank that is good go stability, not for progression, and that GAP as of now is still somewhat directionless.

But let's face it, a graduate who is eyeing entry into GAP is most likely not good enough for the bulge brackets (or even MAP in DBS). So, if we take away the options of foreign banks and MAP, then I reckon GAP in DBS is probably one of the most legit options. This is especially so, taking into account the relatively higher starting pay + strong internal mobility in DBS.
