Factual Local Bank Salaries - DBS , UOB , OCBC (A commoner climbing up the ranks)

I was part of the DBS SEED program, if you're not aware, it's a tech program, basically everyone in it are "Analyst" equivalent and we get 5.5k in our first year and 6k+ in our second year. Bonus every year is 16k.

Last time there was a big meeting about this, perms found out about SEEDer pay and was complaining how it was unfair. Turns out, a lot of SAs were getting 6-7k and doing 3x the work of SEEDers.

So what that guy say is true but ONLY for DBS T&O BACK-OFFICE side, SA payband is 6-9k for BO functions which means you can definitely start at 6k depending on how low your previous pay was as an Associate.

Also promotions are not based on years of tenure, there are many SAs who are still SAs after 5-6 years. If I recall, the criteria is that you need to get AT1 or AT2 rating after you hit the required YOE for AVP which is 5 years.

Whats the rough general salary for a new/fresh AVP usually? Let’s say with 6-7 years experience

Someone who is AVP after 10 years on the job would have been a consistent BT (below target) performer. This type will be managed out sooner or later, don't think DBS will allow this type of coasting behavior.

AVP should be starting from 9k and above.

So depending on your negotiation / previous salary ( cause DBS always peg your salary to ur last drawn at previous company, they will ask you for 3 months payslip before offering you anything ), can probably get 9-11k.

Hi, this is the link. Saw from the original posting on OCBC's website that the code is 230001GH. Are there different AVP and VP levels in OCBC too?

Thank you!
