2 points regarding the above analysis...Deutsche Bank is European and it uses AVP, VP designations..secondly, if one starts off in the MA/Grad program in IB front office, he already make 100k p.a or more as an associate...so saying that making 17k/mth as an AVP is only possible with at least 12 mths bonuses is not definite. However I do agree it's on the high side for an AVP..but in IB/fund management, we never know!!

Actually if people serious in understanding market pay for a job, besides going to HR can actually look for the management consulting firms. I once paid Hewitt (now called Aon) to do a job pricing for me to make sure that a Shanghai offer I had was reasonable.
The probelm is they charge $$$ (USD550 for my case) & most people who are at junior level really no point in spending the money.

Agree.
A couple of sources I usually use are market surveys and headhunter discussions. Front office bankers usually receive a few calls from headhunters every week sounding out potential opportunities in various banks (less nowadays as there is a general slowdown in hiring).
Does not take much to fish out the pay range the other banks are paying for similar positions. After a while u will know the general payscale for your position, and the one above, in various banks i.e. US banks, Local banks, Jap banks, Universal banks, Boutique banks etc.
If you are a banker and you do not know the market, you are setting yourself up for career mis steps. First, you have no leverage in your internal bonus discussions, and second, you may move to another bank for a slight step up in pay but with effectively a demotion (as diff banks have different ranking scales and some have rank inflation).

FACT: Yes I have and no reason to prove it either.
My assumption is you seem bitter about a discrepancy about the time+effort you put in at your work as opposed to others (superiors or peers).
Just remember, they earned the right to be in that position so instead of feeling bitter about it, work on reaching that goal.

can someone share about the working culture/experience in SGX finance team? i;m considering a position in the finance team.
i'm hoping for some work life balance (im currently with a public accounting firm) and nice colleagues. is there a lot of office politics to deal with?
i also heard that with the new management on board there has been a lot of staff movement, so that kind of worries me - if im not able to work with the finance head then life will be quite miserable.

Erm... hoping for work life balance and no office politic in SGX? Time to get out of lala land. The way SGX do financial disclosure is super on, detailed and fast because they want to set benchmark for other company to follow, the corp finance dept midnight go back is consider early.

i will not be in the corporate finance team. the job scope entails mainly finance and some tax related work. when i met with them they mentioned that hours are decent - seems it's not true then.
