lol this joker 100% not from CS. "Front end dev go shopee bytedance" back end leh? "AI techies go FAANG and self driving cars companies" is even a better joke. Research that professors in ML/AI are working on includes using CV to detect faulty semiconductor chips. Micron has unrelated engineering role? Pls la go read up on embedded software development. You are probably one of the non CS rejects who cant even code and make silly comments during TT.

im from engineering, only took one mandatory programming mod, and almost failed it, somehow dbs tech seed also accepted me, $5k salary.. I was also accepted by micron, $5k.. which shld i choose?

Because backend jobs at Shopee and bytedance, etc suck. Their WLB is significantly worse than front-end people given that back-end also includes all the security, filtering and other ML nonsense roles that are insanely difficult to work in unless you're already a CS god.

I won't even talk about the rest, you're clearly a micron nuthugger or a loser who got dumped into that trash company and can't get out.

Tough luck buddy. also LOL @ software embedded. Yeah have fun with that outdated trash tech.

LOL not from micron but if you insist at least i am still wanted with 5k base pay. And u? Probably cant get into CS and stuck with some other engineering courses that wants to get into tech for twice ur expected salary. Lol backend includes ML and security? Front end easier life? You clearly have not worked there before or understand SDLC. You cant comment on the rest because you clearly have no idea on what i am saying. Go back to ur 3k a mth job. Oops, given how knowledgable you are and trying to act all big i dont think you can even find a job.

If you are from an engineering degree, please stick to engineering related jobs. CS jobs require high level skills that engineers don't have. I mean I could easily oil machinery or change light bulbs just like other low skill engineering jobs but can you write a line of code properly without referring to external resources?

Don't embarrass yourself - engineering join tech job. What a joke.

Never said you were from micron.

Learn to read. I don't care much you make either LMAO how is your earnings relevant to this argument? You ok? first time arguing logically?

Backend does include ML and security, lmfao it's literally on bytedance career page, same for shopee.

The rest of your post is more garbage baseless nonsense.

Try harder.

Then why did they organise techtrek 5 ?

Which engineering are you ?

Materials!

same here lmao. except i think seed is quite shitty for tech. advise u to find other tech roles if u still have time. otherwise its rly up to u, but i wouldnt recommend seed

I'm wondering this also...

Wasting our time? or is this TT5 for the next year Jan intake? Like I don't get it... can anyone answer?

also before you say its trash blah blah, I know... I only want to try the hackathon for fun and maybe try to negotiate their offer if I get it.

I already got rakuten offering me 5.8k ( start in june ), was thinking if I can maybe try 6k base pay with SEED lmao ( probably 0 chance but I try anyway )

but i am using tech seed as a springboard to jump to other tech firms.. if not very difficult start elsewhere since my programming skills is very basic and it seems DBS is accepting anyone as long you can do simple coding. And of course $5000 is above avg for engin.

uhh bro u know in resume u must specify the title and all those accurately right? if not u lose offer or get terminated during background checks?

if im not wrong, when u join as seed, ur title is "GRADUATE SEED TECHNOLOGY & OPERATIONS" or something like that... a lot of tech companies will immediately know u went for some cookie cutter mill tech program.

i mean u can try lah but just giving u a heads up. sometimes its better to take a "Software engineer" or "Full-stack" or "Tech associate" role title than some "programme" role.

heres my 2 cents as someone from the same course. if u are set on tech then yes u are right my priority goes smth like this: 1)Tech role in tech company 2)Non tech role in tech company 3)tech role in non tech company 4)non tech in non tech company

if u are set on 1) it means u have lots of catch up to do and u need to put ur mind to it to catch up on fundamentals to survive in the tech world. if u alr know ur programming skills is very basic, what im tryna say is u gotta git gud (either during ur job itself or by grinding leetcode for interviews)

does not matter. if this does not work out, Micron is mass hiring with 5k pay as well, next door :)

congrats bro how many offers u got mate?

lmao if u got time to waste try trolling seed HR and update here pls

anyone who received an email that says neither you're shortlisted, rejected or still in selection?

imo micron is better.

It's a well known large semi conductor company.

Lots of tech roles in it, reputable as well especially in the US where tech is literally the biggest.

Tech in bank is abit uhh... Weird to say the least.

Unless you're a dev at JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs, being a dev at DBS, let alone a SEED dev is like a joke lol. It's worse if you're from CS because it shows you suck and couldn't make it to an actual tech role in a tech company.

Can engineering peeps stop trying to join CS related fields. Its very annoying just like how we dont fight over your low paying engineering jobs, I don't see why you should fight with us.

what does the email say?

"Thank you for spending a day with us on 25th March 2022.
We hope you have enjoyed the virtual TechTrek and gained valuable experience from it.
While we process your application and conduct the HR due diligence checks, which might take up to 3 weeks, we appreciate your patience on the matter.
In the meantime, we would like you to share the 2022 SEED Programme opportunity with your friends (refer to link below)."

Am confused

dont worry its just some generic nonsense email they send to everyone.

just ignore it lol you're most likely shortlisted or something, just need to wait for processing.

Wow...
1. You clearly said that i was 'dumped' to micron.
2. Butthurt because you tried and cant get into DBS seed to get the same pay as CS grads?
3. Are you too dumb to read the job scope? Being a backend engineer in a security/ML team does not mean you are doing security/ML, you need to make API for security/ML engineers to access data

This is my last comment with you because I pity you calling things you dont understand garbage and nonsense, otherwise I wont even bother. Such self entitled dimwits like you probably applies for faang tech jobs when you cant even pass ur non cs degree courses at overseas private uni. Im glad even dbs seed made their ds & algo questions harder to filter out people like you.

Seems like you are from CS. Dbs priortizing cs grads. Rakuten cant hire like most mini mnc in singapore. Attended most of the talks for quite alot of companies and only like <5 ppl turn up. First time i heard rakuten offering 5.8k though, probably cant hire. If u studied CS, you probably know most of the students are foreign talents hahahahaha and i can say that that it is very rare for companies to offer visa for foreign graduates to work in singapore. From my previous intern experiences, you will probably work alone in companies like Rakuten and management will check in on you once in a bluemoon for your work progress, no guidance or anything and you will feel alone. Work will get boring as well. If you look at people in dbs seed on linkedin, they accomplished a lot of stuff in just 2 yrs. The dbs office is the entire building, which means you can move here and there when you work lol. This program starts in batches meaning you get to work with other graduates right at the start! I think the base salary is 5.5k~6k for dbs seed cs grads, but your salary will get bumped when you get promoted. I will mostly like accept the offer for dbs seed but i think the work life balance quite bad lol, but I think it is still better than shopee/bytedance. They expect graduates to be production ready at the start and ppl OT till after 12am. FAANG i think is quite boring but depends on what project are assigned to u. Go for dbs seed if you want learning opportunities and a collaborarive working culture! Cant find much reviews online for dbs seed so I am on this thread hahahaha. I think paypal is cool though, my friends all getting 6.5k but I dont really like their cubicle offices and they change teams every few mths. Visa lower pay than dbs seed for cs grad so dont bother. Also, dbs have most leave (27days) out of all the companies I have mentioned. Now high inflation in singapore so im also priortizing banks cuz higher chance of bonus hahahahahah. I might cry in the future.

P.S. Tired of bell curves and competitions... Just need to perform better than your peers that cant code in dbs seed.

Hey, thank you and yes I am a CS grad.

good to hear that DBS is prioritizing CS grads, I really hope so.... if not I feel like why waste my time attending this TT5 lol I rather go out instead haha

For the rakuten I'm not sure, I got a friend who got 6k so I thought my 5.8 was lowballed :(, I know quite a few NTU friends who are already in there and they say the WLB is not bad actually... but yeah who knows, different team different WLB right.

The "OT till after 12am" sounds scary, are you saying that's for DBS or Bytedance? because I have a interview with Bytedance next week... I really hope the WLB isn't that bad lol.

Anyway yeah you're 100% right, bank bonuses pay a lot. Most of my friends in tech MNC have like 3-8% bonus... wtf for some reason I always thought bonuses were minimum 2 months or something lol

Wow if u have friends at rakuten just go ahead! It will always be more fun working with your friends! My friends all flexing how they OT till after 12am on social media at shopee/bytedance. What they do there is relatively challenging maybe thats why they ot till so late. You can try for bytedance, the snacks there are pretty generous, but they asked me to join a relatively small team so i ghosted them. I most likely wont be able to work there anymore lol. But try to avoid japanese/chinese companies because they are notorious for their 996 working culture.

I am not sure abt rakuten at singapore, but in japan you need to reach work 30 mins earlier for something like the 5BX in army. Then they have something sort of like your school morning assembly where the management will share some stuff with everyone and also mark ur attendance. Once u r late its gg lol. The offfer Rakuten gave u and ur frens quite fishy though, they usually pay 4-5k. Recently some companies like to use high base pay to trick grads and then they probably wont even give you any other benefits later to make up for it. Im not sure abt dbs, but they pay employees relatively well before so i doubt so. You might wanna think twice abt joining rakuten. Even though it is more fun to work with friends, you will eventually split ways and work with new people!

P.S. I will prefer chinese over japanese companies. Anime is fun and all but japanese working culture is actually shittier than the chinese.

Dont listen to the troller that thinks micron is not for CS. If you are shortlisted you will get the email with title 'Congratulations! You have been shortlisted for the DBS Seed programme!' Your seems more like a rejection email to me. Even people that are put into the next TT have different email than urs. I am pretty sure that troller have not even seen the shortlist email before, cant get a job and get over his rejection from dbs seed. Probably thats why he still uses his abundant free time to comment on this thread. Dont worry ur career does not end here unlike that joker. There will always be many programmes to support mid career transitions to tech in sg. Now also have cs online degree courses too and it is almost the same as a normal degree. That joker probably got the same email as you and thinks that they send the email to everyone lol. Dont be like that guy and continue your job hunt.

Bro learn how to fking type in paragraphs.

No one's going to read your ******** other than that 1 rakuten loser who for whatever stupid reason applied for this trash programme that's paying $800 less.

is there no possible chance that this might be currently in the backup list?

Micron is Micron. DBS is DBS. why CS students here need to bring up Micron every few pages? Are they unsettled that DBS tech seed and Micron pay similarly for graduates? If so, please go to a real tech firm unless you're rejects?

Use your brain lol do you really think real CS grads are on here arguing?

The ones here are the CS rejects from SIM trash uni or wannabes.

Ignore that guy, keeps on getting butthurt abt salaries. Btw dbs seed pays 6k this batch for cs grads and is more than micron. Can confirm 1 or 2 cs students here and from the way this joker comments i can also confirm he is from SIM trash uni and wannabe that got rejected by dbs seed. There are people who cant get over their rejection thats why they trolling here and there are also people asking genuine question. I have not seen any CS students getting rejected by 'real tech firms' btw, unless they are really bad. The algo questions asked in dbs seed are way harder than your 'real tech firms'. They hire cs grads more easier than dbs seed.

huh?

i thought seed base pay is 5k?

all the previous seeders since 2019 said its 5k, there's even official letters being shared among discord channels saying its 5k monthly.

5k is for non cs grads. You can check the graduate employment for 2019 and 2022, went from 5k to 5.8k for cs grads. For dbs seed to offer competitive salary to us fron cs they are giving 6k. Will continue to rise in the future for cs grads.

You are the only desperate CS student here repeatedly claiming DBS pays more to CS grads for the same job and have the cheek to say salary will continue to rise for CS grad.

If you are that good and sought after, CS grads will not even bother to go near DBS.

You sound like a ****ing stupid boomer just mouthing off stupid ****.

How the FK is graduate employment GES survey for 2019 and 2022 means that DBS SEEDERS get 6k if they are CS grads? Are you stupid? use your brain.

Fking retard, call others troll yet you don't even fking know that it's 5k fixed.

Stfu pls, I hope you don't get into SEED, jesus. I don't want to work with retards.

Anyone still waiting for offer letter after being shortlisted?

LOL you have not even seen the shortlist email before while I did and already got an offer. You said dbs seed for rejects and now say you are in seed? Please stop lying to everyone that you are in seed and will even have a chance to work with me. Yes, go on and think it is fixed 5k for everyone.

Amazing.

> got shortlisted + offer
Therefore every CS grad who applies to SEED will get 6k monthly base.

Impeccable logic.


> Yesterday it rained and I found $10 on the floor
Therefore every time it rains, I will find $10

clap clap clap, god tier deductive reasoning skills. Good luck in SEED.

seeder brain mah bo bian, wat to do
