no problem.

Randomly I think.. I mean I don't know for sure but based on anecdotal evidence it seems to be random.

is there any news from those who are still waiting for offer?

why is dbs so garbage?

attended tt2... till now still no update on shortlisted ? if rejected then just send rejection email or something da fuq sitting around waiting for this offer so that i can use to negotiate other offers

tt2 is like half a year ago? If u never hear anything after 1mth, just move on. You dont even bother to ask them or anything. Besides macs or kfc, no one will give u a job offer. You want to negotiate 7/hr to 5k/mth?

yeah yeah keep shoving mac and kfc down your throat while you type ******** online buddy

cringe as fk

tt2 half a year ago... facepalm

If I completed the assessment yesterday, am I still eligible?

They will send u invite to hackathon if you pass the assessment

Now idk if u troll or just have low eq and iq. Tt2 is on 11 nov and I cant believe someone can be actually that stupid to wait for 5 mths thinking he will get a job offer. Your mom never tell u to eat u dont eat isit? Need her to spoonfeed u?

nope but someone said to wait a few days more

i think can still wait. never knkw some one actually picks up the offer

have you received any emails?

Techtrek 2 was in Feb 2022 LOL HAHAHAHHAHAH

Holy ****.. RETARD LMAO

Man so delusional he forgets the time. They held TT4 in march u say TT2 in feb?

Are you also low eq and iq? Tt2 was on 11 nov go look back in this thread.

joke
 

it's random.... but generally, there are 2 big departments. IBGT and C2E (Corp banking / Consumer banking)
IBGT is ran like NS culture. Also you won't go far as a SWE here. Nothing much to learn, they mostly want BAs who don't code. Also, what is WLB lol. You have to do deployments on Friday nights which spans to Sat morning with no OIL. Also Friday, you are expected to report at your normal time.

Tech stack wise: Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, Microsofr Powerpoint, Confluence, Jira, Jenkins

A quick linkedin search on the past seeders and you can easily tell that this is false.

No idea why do people blatantly lie. What a waste of time.

???
 

fyi. they just took in a lot of seeders in 2021, just search on linkedin. same for 2022. are you sure that everyone will get to code when most of the jobs are outsourced to NCS or DAH2? Also, there will be a new office in China, DAH3 where we will get cheap labour to code.

who asked?

Peng Ng :)

did anyone get their starting date yet?

Hope someone can share the pros and cons of this program. Ty

Dbs is linkedin top 5 companies this year LOL. Anyway, the reviews on dbs improved quite a lot on glassdoor over the years. Probably aiming to be faang.

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?

Most of it will be cloud related stuffs like DevOps, Jenkin builds, CI/CD pipeline etc.

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.

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the advice!

Yea i agree with 2 yr experience u can find a mid lvl tech job with >6k pay. But if the nodeflair website is true, then after 2 yrs u get 6.5k as well.

You currently working at us tech? Have you received any bonus recently?

seed is competitive for me who is too dumb to join faang. i think when u say us tech u mean faang lol. the smaller US tech mnc like DXC cant compete at all. If the salary increment is true, after 1 yr you will get 6k a mth in seed too.

dunno if the career progression, salary increment and benefits still stay the same aftr 2yrs but i hope someone live at dbs long enuf to tell the tale

Anyone received offer?

Meeeeee, i think they hired almost everyone from techtrek lol.

Received today and accepted le, see yall!

Did it states which role or team u assign to?

legit??

even the poor performers? smh like that means full alr?

you will get your assigned team during the orientation on day 1. Role wise, you have to ask your direct manager.

nope, but i heard need to tell ur manager the role u want

They expecting to have 500+ ppl every year. I saw got TT5 in may, maybe not everyone haha. I think 60-70% from every TT will get in, still pretty high though.

When is the starting date for this programme? Can choose or is it a fixed date for everyone?

Hi, I originally received the shortlisted email saying "congrats... pending background check etc".
My taleo status at that time was "Selection".

But today as i checked the taleo status, it was changed to "completed" and I've yet to receive any offer.

Does this mean that I'm rejected?

oh damn means your background check failed...

did you submit the credit bureau properly? i hope u also did the declaration thing, that one was abit hard to navigate in taleo lol but its under your "edit" then the bottom right field there's this agreement page to consult background checks.
