The career progression and benefits are quite competitive. 24 + 2 days leave + 30 days medical leave with VB. However, it is still a 9-6 job and the base salary is only 5k. There are salary increments based on your performance and 1% additional interest rate on your savings account which possibly can offset the low base salary. 1% compounded can be quite a lot. I would say to check up on the nodeflair website. Dbs seed is a great start for both job hoppers and people working there long term. There are opportunities like JPM, GS, GrabFinance and ShopeePay in the future and most companies are moving into finance. |
24 + 2 days leave isn't really competitive... don't forget that banks run throughout a year whereas tech companies have multiple company wide holidays ( especially US companies ) and most of the time, the last 2 weeks of December are blocked.
So while you get 14 days at US tech companies, that's 14 days leave + 2 weeks in mid December off + 4-5 company holidays throughout a year... not sure about other US companies but mine also has 120 days sick leave a year which a lot of people abuse. if you want to know more about DBS SEED, find those ex-seeders or current-seeders on LinkedIn, connect with them and just ask them nicely, express your interest in the program, etc. its a great program to learn and to really grind. i strongly advice it if you're young and hungry to learn. if you're already seasoned dev ( closing to 2yoe ) then don't do it... you can easily find mid-level dev roles in other tech companies for at least >6k base pay. anyway last I recall when I joined I was told to openly express how I felt about the program to friends and people online who were curious... so here you go. hope it helps. |
DBS Seed job descriptions
Can anyone elaborate more on the job roles and description in DBS seed? Will the projects be web dev only as seen by hackathon or there are other types?

No it's not web dev stuffs lol there's no web dev stuffs for SEEDers. The full-stack associate perm roles will have web-based tech work. SEEDers will get DevOps or some random java springboot project PoC that will mostly get shelved at the end of your contract. |
