is it true that you will join the dept that your assessor is from during the TT?

yes. groups physically near u as well.

how tf do u even know what dept is ur assessor is from lol

they introduced their dept

no wtf who keeps spreading this ********?

if ur asessor is from IBGT, doesnt mean u will go IBGT

then do you think the hr will reveal which dept we are assigned to?? i'm assuming not

no, you will only find out during your orientation when you get your MSTeams account and work laptop because ur profile will tell you what dept you're in...

however, you can still get swapped to a different team / department because technically you are not posted to any dept until you complete your 1 month alpha training.

i see, thanks for sharing!

How many people SEED recruiting this year?

10k to replace all the CECA.

Has anyone received anything after the 6th May hackathon?

I received an email that I was shortlisted, pending employment clearance. Anyone else also received the same email?

Same. Have you received the offer?

The offers have been released.

Hi thsoe that got their office, may I know how much they offered for July 2023?

68000, it says variable bonus so i dunno how much is that

I receive a rejection despite both communicating and coding actively. I don't understand what they are looking for if that's the case.

u dodged a bullet

when DBS went down, i saw a lot of those posts on r/singapore reddit, many people in that post said that DBS backend is full of indian devs and its handled by DBS india not DBS SG

i got a few friends in the program and they also told me a lot of bad experiences

also i checked my linkedin premium search for "Graduate associate (SEED)" role, linkedin tells me that from 2021 to 2023 jan, about 60-70%+ people with that title moved on to different jobs after 2 years whereas other roles left after 1 year.

means that on average, people work in dbs 1-2 years then leave. big red flag imo.

As much as people like to diss on seed program. It is one of the better paying jobs with a 80k+ annual compensation for fresh grads in the current tech winter. Hearsay due to excess supply they can cherry pick big 3 CS grads now instead of run of the mill non tech grads/private U before Q3 2022.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know the intake for this batch?

oh pay increased from 66k to 68k?

Can share their experiences?

That's because most of them don't actually do any tech work in SEED program.

Like it or not, you don't get to choose your LOBT when you first join. You don't get to choose your role either, you can state your "preference" but ultimately you will do what they need you to do.

If that includes making PowerPoint slides for your SVP, that's what you will do.

You don't like it? Don't do your job and take a "BT" rating for your year-end review and cry about it then.

The lucky ones will get a chance to partake in big projects and get "OT" or "AT" ratings, in which they will then quality for HIPO program ( it's a fast tracked path to promotion )

Good luck, join the program, if you happen to be lucky and work on large-scale projects then congratulations, don't waste it, learn as much as possible and work damn hard.

If you're unlucky and get nothing to do then don't be a moron and just do nothing for 2+ years lol, that's incredibly stupid. I've seen SEEDers just sit by for 1.5 years doing nothing, like why? Go self-learn or prep for interviews.

Once you get "BT" twice in a row you're going to get fired.

Also no one told me this but apparently you can't even rotate out after 1 year.

They say you can and you can list your preference to do so but the actual rotation actually never happens, it's just silence after that.

lets be real, people leave for other reasons not just tech stack lol

citibank is the same, jp morgan and many more places. fact is that theres lots of foreigners in these banks and they will look out for their own people only

dont wanna be like edmw cry ceca but lol u look at the big 4 thread also theyre talking about JHK all the time, sg is not for sinkies anymore

Hi could u explain the ratings more and how is the rating done, yearly?

Hi could u share more about the ratings? Thank u

actually someone with brain cells here. Thank you

this is so true, facts

66k - 68k the increment like weird

how come i never receive news of this increment im july batch

Because you've already signed your contract abuden.

are you fkin kidding me this raise should be consistent throughout everyone in the july batch!

Chill there should be a revision later on

likely those considered 2 tier lower batch. i hear

pay should be different right? if everyone in seed get the same then for fk do they have performance ratings? like that everyone just nua get normal rating, why bother doing above and beyond if all same pay lol

Im pretty sure he meant the starting pay?

no bro pay is always diff

last time i join their GA OPS DBS programme also same, i got 4.5k, my friend got 4.7k, we same university, gpa around the same also lol he only got higher cos he negotiated...

the hr told me same pay but my friend show me his offer letter, i dunno who to believe, maybe my friend photoshop his letter but i doubt it LOL abit lame
