OCBC, SC bank, credit agricole, credit suisse, JP morgan, Macquarie

Are there tiers or what

Well how I do it is by asking friends who are already working in these companies. The #1 most useful thing I did in Uni was to keep in touch with many of my batchmates who were interested in joining banks as SWE.

From there I just see what their experiences are like. For example I have 3 friends in JPM, pay is 5.8 - 6.2k, two of them have shitty WLB, they work till 8pm on most days except Fridays while that 1 other friend only does 8 to 5pm everyday.

I got some batchmates in OCBC tech team, lower pay, better WLB.

Then I basically rank these banks based on what I want. ( Better WLB vs better pay )

That's how I do it tbh. Glassdoor reviews imo are useless... I'm currently in a large tech company with >4.0 glassdoor rating over 30k+ reviews, almost 0 negative reviews yet everyday I see employees arguing in standup meetings and devs fighting over on-call rotations lol.

You really need to get close to your uni batch mates and keep them in touch to get all the useful info.

Oh btw another perk of having friends wanting to join similar companies is that they will share interview questions with you... most companies reuse them so it means easier interviews for you too.

But that's if you don't have weird ass friends who wanna gatekeep you from joining lol, from personal experience, I have never met a friend like this so far.
