OCBC Graduate Talent Programme 2019 (Previously Young Banker)

They were born in the 60s-80s and rode the banking wave and are now coasting into retirement. And because our local banks don't have a hire and fire culture, the eunuchs get to continue playing their paper-pushing games.

What is paper pushing?

Paper pushing = low effort paperwork stuff, like "looking though" documents that people have sent, read and reply emails (they got a lot since they demand to be put as CC for no good reason, sign consent forms etc.

"Here are my comments and go do the necessary. Keep me updated."

anyone called up for interview?

Hi, I had just completed the online assessment last night. It usually took how long before you guys got invited for a video interview?

I got to admit, I struggled during the numerical test and only get to complete up 16/18 of the questions.

Do candidates need to do super well on these tests?

think its more of behavioural fit thing rather than getting all the questions correct

Same, only finished 14/18 questions. I think they are looking at accuracy rather than speed.
