In Finance, image is everything. People make inferences based on what you display. If I barely know you and you tell me that you drive a Maserati, automatically I'll make inferences based on what I know about other Maserati owners. That's because the human mind has a tendancy to categorize and fill in missing information. To give an analogy (and I mean no malice in this), if you tell me that you're a Malay, i'll automatically assume that you're a Muslim. It's just human tendacy to categorize.

Bro, FO/MO/BO put analyst ok what. We talking about shameless SGUnited trainees putting Investment Banking and Wealth Management as their titles rofl. Anw MO/BO analysts in GTP earning almost 2x more than these “IB/GWM” wannabes

analyst is a rank in most banks (even for local banks) - stated in contract 1. just like how trainee is also a “rank”, so just put ur title as per ur contract, dont cringe pls.

trainee > if convert > analyst (fresh grads typically start with this title regardless of div) > assoc > vp > dir

If you don’t know the rank just stfu. Those in GTP, they start out from trainee and they are called graduate trainee. Not all started from analyst.

I see. Maybe you're right. I tend to link cars like Civic and Nissan GTR to the typical ahbengs. If an ahbeng drives a Maserati then quite atas ah, good on them

are you a fking idiot? did i say that trajectory is for ubs specifically? when I typed trainee obv i meant hopeless fktards like u. u think u comparable to those in GTP drawing 4k+ to 10k (depending on div) meh? mai siao pls

anw ubs is the special one, most foreign banks go by analyst > assoc > etc. case in point - those in ib and S&T (those legit 1 la, not like yall so diulian) have linkedin profiles of IB ANALYST and S&T ANALYST. caps to accentuate the irony for u, dont need thank me

I can only assume that you are from the program. TS is obviously trying to point out that its fine to put Analyst regardless of your function as opposed to a SGUT claiming to be from IB/Markets/WM. ‘Most banks’ (in his/her words) do actually go by analyst > associate > vp… Hence, people with the analyst title are not misleading others / inflating their titles, its just not the same comparison. You dont see people bitching about those with Associate Director / Specialist titles (since you seem to understand only in UBS context) right? Ethical a bit; put UBS SUPER if you really damn embarrassed by the trainee title lor.

Again, nothing wrong with owning a Maserati but you won't find finance guys driving one. Can just go to MBFC, Asia Square carparks and see for yourself. They're usually higher-end continental cars or Porsches and Bentleys.
