Just curious, for those of you who already finished their TT, how were your group members like? I had a few people in my team that were from SIM linguistic and other irrelevant degrees. They were all nice so I'm glad they got in but this kind of worries me because they couldn't write a simple JS function.

When the programme starts, what exactly do SEEDers do? Is this like a typical tech job where you get put in a team, daily stand ups, work on tickets and stuffs? Or do SEEDers in a team get lumped together to build some rubbish Poc that gets tossed away?

I read the NodeFlair website and they mentioned that we'll work on Pocs... yea not sure if this is ******** or legit.

Exseeder here. it is all luck. if you are sent to an ongoing project that you can help out with then it is just like what you wrote, "typical tech job". Otherwise, poc that is likely tossed.

typically those in seed that are not as strong technically end up doing project management while better ones do more legitimate software engineering

I have accepted the offer few days ago but today suddenly received the tech analyst offer from JPM. What should I do guys? The salary is not very different

How is this even a question... JP Morgan is one of if not the largest bank in Wall Street. Recognizable everywhere. Huge resume booster. Not everyone can get into JPM lol DBS SEED literally accepts anyone, even SIM tards who cant code

go to jpm...

fyi, you probably won't get blacklisted even if you backout from dbs seed now, there are candidates on hold who'll receive the offer instead, just let the hr know

Just exercise the termination clause on the contract.

can confirm this, my last techtrek group got 3 idiots from sim cannot even code in python or understand the meaning of states.. what the fk this program so trash

if u can get better offers just go for it, tell whoever the hr is, sen or whoever the new talent acq person is, burn bridges and just go with ur other offer. if u still pick DBS over JPM, you are legit a retard and may god bless u

Which is a better bank to work in? Dbs, ocbc or uob? Why?

for local banks, dbs is the better bank. but aim higher for overseas banks like jpm or gs if you can

UOB, their graduate program pay is much higher starting from 5.5k+ with 20k sgd bonus after completion of programme and conversion to fulltime while seed is hardstuck 5k for 2 years with no guarantee conversion

why the other thread say UOB TDP is only 4.5k lmao

Uob is which program? Management associate program?

can confirm UOB base 6k with 20k bonus at 6mth and 35k bonus at 12mth, guaranteed start at AVP position after completing.

can confirm UOB base 10k with 500k bonus and a guaranteed conversion to CEO after completion.

I am the OP for that thread. TDP pays 4.5k only at the start. Definitely lower than SEED program

is tomorrow the last TT for this intake? will the results would be faster

its 6th may not tomorrow

what result are you waiting for? the team invite?

just want to know, how do yall rate swe jobs in these banks from good to best?

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.

Do u hv friends fr DBS? How’s the WLB there?

offer letter, network invite, orientation? we're going for the last round so all would be faster?

when was your techtrek? I went for Tt4 in March... Got my offer letter last week

Like 30 March Wednesday. If u got verbal offer alr u need to email HR and ask about the letter cause I first got verbal then letter 3 says later

did you get anything after signing?

just got shortlisted, along with 4 of my group mates, anyone else?

the TT today was quite easy, some budget nonsense app, so easy wtf my team finished in 2 hours lmfao. how long after shortlisted will we get the offer letter?

hr messaged within an hour after TT with offer letter, now waiting for other documents after accepting.

really? who was the HR?

Ms D, same HR CCed in the taleo offer email. Same HR for you?

how was your team? manage to finish the app?

also just want to verify in case you're lying, how many people were at the meeting? just give a range, ( 100 to 110, etc ). too many liars on this trash forum

not liars. its just those who cant get in, damn salty. come here pui here pui there ret@rd here ret@rd there.

how long after shortlisted email would offer letter come?

u from which TT? offers out long ago already. onboarding documents coming soon

I think he is referring to tt in may.

oh when will onboarding documents start?

wasn't there mentions of networking too?

DBS SEED Salary and Benefits - Does it pay well?
The offer is non-negotiable and starts at $5,000. *

It will be increased to $5,275, $5,900 and $6,400 at the 6, 12 and 24 months mark

Saw this one the infamous nose flair website.. is this verified or CSB? Seems too good to be true

Offer letter doesnt confirm any increments. Subject to performance.

There's no increment. Nodeflair even states that they cannot confirm the pay. Like many have said in the past, it's hardstuck 5k for the first year, you might get $150 after a year but that depends on team.

Also shortlisted means "back-up / waiting list". Background checks do not take 3 weeks, they just want you to "wait" so that they can release offers in batches and give them 1 week to accept. The ones who reject the offer, they will give their placing to those in "shortlisted" waiting list.
