DBS ACE Programme

[Mileyj]

Thanks, appreciate it!

Anyone still waiting for an offer?

Finished the interviews about a week + ago but had no email or calls so far. Have started looking for other jobs haha

I did my last interview on 20/6, got the onboarding email to submit payslip on 29/6, got contacted by DBS to submit my degree scroll on Taleo on 26/7, till now still no offer made. It has been more than one month.

submitting documents etc doesn't mean you're accepted lol they do it out of formality and to validate applications.

ACE program
1. not open to everyone, specific people are chosen
2. jumpstart ML / AI learning right away and work on real projects
3. undergo various projects and expand knowledge on data analytics
4. incredibly fast tracked, small intake also means better progression for batch
5. high conversion to perm since small intake, similar to GA ops program, that program also at most 10-15 people.

SEED program
1. open to anyone, degree in maritime, human resource, psychology, nursery, etc. literally anyone... as long as you talk during techtrek, sure get in.
2. absolutely 0 tech work for the first year or longer unless you're lucky. first few months learn banking / accounting / financing. next few months OJT doing project management stuffs, prepare powerpoint slides etc.
3. no pay increment / bonus guarantee. 150+ each intake, you think they have enough $$$ to inc everyone? dream on.
4. no conversion guarantee. 150+ people, by year 2, maybe 70+ left, headcount only 20+, the other 50 get fired.

you think 4.5k is bad? there's a reason why GA and ACE both pay 4.5k ( negotiable ) while SEED pays 5.5k. which one do you think mass hires and fires?

always look at the long-term benefits. good luck!

Seed is no longer contract-based.
There is no termination, after 2 years will convert to associate unless special case.

I am surprised that DBS couldn't give any update on the application status after so long since the onboarding email despite few emails sent to them for updates.
For those who received the offer, when will the ACE program start? I think by knowing the start day, we can gauge the deadline to receive offer.

4.5k feels kinda low since SEED is getting 5.5k?
