For those who got the hr interview, approx how long it takes for the hr to contact you upon the completion of the self recorded video interview?
|
I think it depends. I applied for treasury, got the HR interview early jan. I know of people in other department with similar timeline also. That being said, I don’t think they fully called up all the people for interview yet
Anyone went through panel interview/ hiring manager round (this batch or last) willing to share how is it like ? Thanks ! |

They were generally quite nice, and mostly asked me to describe my previous experience (internships etc) and skillsets that would be applicable to the job. |

1. Finance/Treasury 2. Corp banking (front and middle offices) 3. Consumer/retail banking (front and middle offices) 4. Ops and tech Above list applies only to career prospects within the Finance industry (not just banks but corporates as well). I did not list HR, Legal etc. as these are support functions that lie outside of the industry. 1. Finance/Treasury Coveted divisions that are in high demand for all banks and MNCs, not just OCBC. Singapore's status as a financial hub enables such positions and skillsets to be high-paying as well. Shielded from troublesome external stakeholders such as demanding customers. High career mobility as almost every company requires these 2 functions. MNCs and trading companies like to establish their regional finance and treasury HQ in SG as well (the hope is to jump to a BB bank or an international commodity/trading firm). Potential for good worklife balance as less subject to tight deadlines and SLAs as other divisions. 2. Corp banking More room for growth compared to consumer banking as the banking needs of companies are more sophisticated than a person's. However local banks' corporate client portfolios are disproportionately weighted towards local SMEs. The skillset required to service such SMEs is much simpler and narrower than for MNCs as the former mostly require just simple cash management products. MNCs, especially trading companies, have more diverse needs, such as FX and trade finance. For good career prospects, aim to service the MNCs and not SMEs. The skills picked up will be valuable when applying for job at corporates as well. 3. Consumer/retail banking Similar to corp banking, aim to service the higher end of the market, private banking is most prestigious and lucrative. 4. Ops and tech Back office. Viewed as cost centre and is thus located out of CBD, where front and middle offices are. Manual and operational tasks. Constantly getting whacked by customer, front office and middle office. Outdated IT systems. Lotsa OT. Need I say more? |

Offered $3200. Second upper uol. Times are bad so took up the offer even with such pay and with uol being a inferior degree.

Ops **** on tech as well. Because when systems are down, it is tech's fault. Ops dept cannot process customer transactions and will complain to tech dept. In banking, no system can afford to go offline for even the smallest amount of time. It is like our Singtel/Starhub/M1, when network down, the whole country is affected and it will be in the news.
